Ticky unveils the third instalment of his ‘Transpire EP’ with the release of ‘Riptide’, a track that merges classic jungle flavours with modern liquid drum and bass emotion. Out on 5th December via Rabbit Hole, it follows ‘Downfall’ and ‘Furaha’, building on the series’ evolving journey through sound and feeling.
‘Riptide’ is built around soulful vocal layers that rise and fall through shuddering breaks and rolling basslines. The production captures a warm, organic energy, giving the track a timeless quality that sits comfortably between introspective listening and full club impact. Ticky’s attention to groove is evident in every detail, from the crisp drum edits to the deep sub-bass pressure that anchors the mix.
The result is a record that feels fluid, emotive and carefully crafted. The vocal brings a touch of nostalgia while the rhythm keeps everything moving forward. It’s a nod to the golden era of liquid DnB, reimagined with Ticky’s own melodic sensibility and tight modern production. Each drop feels deliberate and expressive, balancing soulful weight with rolling momentum.
‘Riptide’ shows another side to Ticky’s creative range as he moves closer to the release of his full ‘Transpire EP’ on 12th December. Across the project, he continues to explore contrast and connection, fusing underground textures with emotion-driven songwriting.
‘Riptide’ by Ticky is available from 5th December 2025 via Rabbit Hole.
