Vibe Chemistry Expands The Make Your Era Sound On ‘Summer Mixtape 2026’
Make Your Era returns on 26th June 2026 with the arrival of its ‘Summer Mixtape 2026’, a ten-track Drum & Bass compilation capturing the brighter, more melodic and emotionally driven side of the label’s evolving sound. Bringing together a mix of exclusive new material alongside standout catalogue favourites, the project reflects the label’s continued focus on artist development, songwriting and forward-facing dance music built equally for dancefloor moments and repeat listening.

Where previous Make Your Era compilations leaned heavily into darker Jump Up energy and high-impact low-end pressure, ‘Summer Mixtape 2026’ widens the scope considerably. Across the project, liquid influences, vocal-led songwriting, cinematic intros and crossover electronic textures sit alongside heavyweight club production and rolling Drum & Bass foundations. The result feels intentionally varied while still remaining cohesive from start to finish.
Leading the release are three brand-new exclusives from key emerging names within the label’s growing roster. Medicine opens the mixtape with ‘Say My Name’, followed by Hypoxic’s ‘Never Be Enough’, before label head Vibe Chemistry returns with ‘What Can I Do’, adding another fresh cut to the steadily evolving MYE catalogue.
Alongside the new material, the compilation also brings together several standout records that have helped define the label’s identity over recent months. Feed The Fire & OHKAY, Maurizzle, Medicine, Iskia, Danger and GU:STUFF all contribute to a project that balances vocal-led accessibility, underground club energy and modern Drum & Bass versatility without ever losing momentum. Rather than feeling like a disconnected playlist of singles, the mixtape flows as a snapshot of where Make Your Era currently sits creatively, spotlighting a new generation of artists pushing melodic and crossover Drum & Bass into exciting territory.
The mixtape continues Make Your Era’s wider vision of creating a platform for the next generation of Drum & Bass artists while avoiding rigid genre boundaries. Rather than focusing solely on one corner of the scene, the label continues embracing records that prioritise identity, emotion and replay value alongside club impact.
Curated by Vibe Chemistry, Make Your Era has quickly established itself as one of the UK’s most exciting developing electronic imprints pushing bass-led dance genres, consistently spotlighting rising talent and helping shape a more melodic and song-driven future for the genre. The ‘Summer Mixtape 2026’ feels like another defining snapshot of that direction, capturing a label and artist roster continuing to evolve in real time.
