Drum’n’bass from Indonesia shines on Muztang & Yacko's latest collab

Muztang and Yacko, key figures in Indonesia's pioneering drum’n’bass scene, have just released their latest single, ‘Baddie’, through Javabass Recordings.

The track kicks off with Yacko's urgent and electrifying raps paired with Muztang's bare-bones production, before diving headfirst into a gritty, high-energy banger.

While it doesn't break new ground in the genre, it delivers exactly what fans crave: a bass-heavy, adrenaline-pumping track perfect for the dancefloor.

Muztang and Yacko are no strangers to success in their work. Muztang's previous release, ‘Run’ holds the record as the most streamed d’n’b track in Indonesia.

Yacko, a highly respected rapper, always adds her signature style to the duo's many collaborations, making ‘Baddie’ a much-anticipated and invigorating addition to the local scene.

Their performance together at last year’s Wonderfruit further cements their status as top-tier artists.
