D&S are ready to level up. After months of steady traction in Chicago’s underground, the duo drops Time & Space—a peak-time weapon that hits with intent. It’s out now via Magnetic Magazine Recordings, and it does exactly what the title suggests: stretches out across moods, moments, and genres without losing its grip on the floor.
The track opens with a tense acid line that teases movement but holds it back just long enough to build pressure. Then the kick lands and everything locks in.
The low end is tuned for weight.
The melodies are subtle but emotive, and the vocal cuts give it just enough human pull to cut through the mix. It’s tight, polished, and built for DJs who want to turn a dancefloor without overplaying their hand.
D&S Build a Club Tool That Sticks
D&S say the track is rooted in contrast—designed to hold emotional tension without sacrificing groove. And that balance shows up everywhere: in the pacing, in the transitions, and in the way the synths evolve across each phrase. You can hear their influences in the details—Hot Since 82’s basslines, Bicep’s melodic pacing, and Simon Doty’s surgical arrangement style—but the track never leans on mimicry. This is their lane.
Part of what makes Time & Space land so hard is how clearly the duo knows their identity. In our recent interview, they talked about building tracks around melodic leads, euphoric vocal cuts, and thick bass foundations—three elements that all show up here. There’s nothing overcomplicated about the concept. It’s just well-executed and designed to move.
What’s Next for D&S After “Time & Space”
What’s also clear is that D&S are not chasing trends. They’re pulling from a wide palette—bass music, progressive, melodic techno—and piecing it together into something functional but personal. It’s the kind of track that could land at a festival or a warehouse set and still feel like the right call. And with a handful of new releases planned, they’ve made it clear this is the start of a wider push.
Out now on all major platforms. Stream it, spin it, and keep an eye on what comes next.
