Built around a run of huge singles released across the summer, the EP features a hand-picked lineup of vocalists and collaborators who bring their own distinctive flavour to goddard.’s production. From chart-topping breakthrough talent Venbee to cult-favourite mic legends like Dread MC and Inja, as well as rising vocalists Megan Linnell, Billy Lockett and Jazza, it’s a project rooted in collaboration and shared energy.
Opening with the title track ‘Rabbit Hole’ featuring Venbee, the EP launches with intent. It’s a slick, vocal-led roller that balances heartfelt songwriting with deep low-end groove, pushing forward the crossover formula that made their breakout hit ‘messy in heaven’ a platinum-certified sensation.
Track two, ‘Bounce’, calls on Dread MC, Inja and Mutual for a sweaty, high-octane club weapon built on jungle breaks, rave energy and heavy bass pressure. It’s goddard. at his most direct – a love letter to the dancefloor packed with rowdy attitude and bounce.
The mood then pivots with ‘Live for Nothing’ featuring Billy Lockett. A cinematic, vocal-driven DnB cut that leans into raw emotion and open arrangements, it demonstrates goddard.’s ability to build tracks that hit as hard in the heart as they do on stage. The sound design is rich and expressive, with Lockett’s vocal acting as the emotional centre.
Next comes ‘Get it Right’ with Megan Linnell. A follow-up to their wildly successful single ‘Green Light’ – which has amassed over 35 million Spotify streams and earned accolades globally – this new track continues their chemistry. Gliding from soulful pop through to dirty, high-energy DnB, it’s a summer-ready banger that bridges the gap between mainstream and underground effortlessly.
The EP closes on a poignant note with ‘Sweet Little Light’ featuring Jazza. Sweeping, atmospheric and built around a beautifully delivered vocal performance, it’s a slow-burning finale that builds in intensity without ever losing its emotional centre. The layers of melody and detail in the track showcase goddard.’s finesse as a producer and his ability to tell stories through sound.
‘Here & Now’ isn’t just a statement for goddard. as an artist – it’s a defining moment for Rabbit Hole as a label. Since its inception, Rabbit Hole has emerged as a platform for cutting-edge, forward-thinking bass music, blending the energy of the underground with sharp pop instincts and big-stage ambition. With this debut EP, the label solidifies its identity and future-facing focus.
At a time when Drum & Bass continues to evolve and expand, goddard. is at the centre of the movement. His ability to unite commercial success with authentic scene credibility sets him apart. He has received support from industry legends, landed major remixes for artists such as Cat Burns and Sub Focus, and brought his sound to stages worldwide.
‘Here & Now’ brings all of that energy together. It’s a showcase of what goddard. has built, where he’s heading, and the diverse community of artists he’s lifting along the way. With Rabbit Hole as his home, the future looks wide open.
