Oakland bass disruptor Neumonic teams up with Deadbeats veteran Mary Droppinz for “What?”, released January 21, 2026. Known for Neumonic’s unique style of UK-fused bass and Mary Droppinz’ classic sound, this track is the epitome of two artists colliding. Notably, the single launches Neumonic’s forthcoming Deadbeats EP. Neumonic states,
“‘What?’ is a long overdue collaboration with Mary Droppinz that we’ve had so much fun playing out live. We started this on our last Colorado shows together and has slowly evolved over the months after and slowly added more ridiculous lyrics. It was also the opening track of our first official B2B at Untz Festival 2025.“
Both artists deliver a dark, yet euphoric, journey that pushes the boundaries of experimental dubstep. It pulls you deeper with every switch and sound design. It’s the kind of record that stops you mid-listen and makes you think, “What did I just hear?”—in the best possible way. This duo is entering 2026 strong with real momentum following the breakout year they had in 2025.
With debuts at INFRASOUND and WORMHOLE, Neumonic’s UKF release “Bassline Bizness” has earned early support from tastemakers like Zeds Dead, Skrillex, and Mary Droppinz herself—marking him as one to watch in the bass and UKG space. Meanwhile, Mary Droppinz is fresh off major festival debuts like Lightning in a Bottle and Seven Stars, alongside the release of her latest project, “Sugar.” Both acts are embarking on ambitious tour runs with a clear goal: to raise the bar and keep pushing forward. Listen to “What?” now streaming on all platforms.
