The long-awaited collaboration between Smokey Bubblin’ B, Guy Burns and James Poole lands November 28th on Disorder, already championed by Chris Stussy, Patrick Topping and Jamie Jones
London-born producer and DJ Smokey Bubblin’ B continues his evolution from UKG mainstay to boundary-blurring house luminary with his brand-new single ‘Temptation’, out Friday, 28th November via Disorder, alongside producers Guy Burns and James Poole.
The track marks an exciting collaboration between the trio, brought together by their shared creative energy and genre-fluid approach to dance music. Written in just one afternoon, ‘Temptation’ sports an effortless chemistry and deep, rolling house melody infused with Smokey’s trademark garage swing. ‘Temptation’ sets the tone for the next wave of the UKG-meets-House movement.
After being played by Joseph Capriati during his Paradise closing set b2b with Jamie Jones, the track caught the attention of Chris Stussy, who has since become one of its biggest supporters. Already gaining underground traction on dancefloors across Europe, ‘Temptation’ continues Smokey’s streak of crossover success stories.
For fans of Smokey Bubblin’ B, ‘Temptation’ represents another milestone in a huge year that’s seen him release on TSZR, Higher Ground and ATW, as well as draw consistent support from the scene’s heaviest hitters including Peggy Gou, Michael Bibi, Chris Stussy, Jamie Jones, Patrick Topping, East End Dubs, Gaskin, and Archie Hamilton (famously helping ‘Poison’ go viral). His sets have soundtracked major institutions such as Boomtown, Drumsheds and Hideout , as well as a busy run of European and Australasian tour dates. Smokey’s influence continues to expand globally, with his hits ‘Poison’ and ‘Young World’ having amassed over 39 million streams combined, and viral moments which have seen his tracks featured everywhere from Fred again..’s Boiler Room to Lando Norris’ social posts.
A respected figure in both UKG and House, Smokey Bubblin’ B’s collaborations and remixes span wide from Sammy Virji and Riordan to Peggy Gou, Todd Terry, and Groove Armada cementing his reputation as one of the most versatile producers in the scene right now.
