Hey everyone, ever had one of those moments where a memory from years ago hits you like it happened yesterday? That's exactly the vibe Jaime Deraz and Bad Boyfriend are serving up with their fresh collab, "Supercut"—a slick blend of electro pop and UK garage that feels both nostalgic and right-now urgent.
Picture this: you're scrolling through old photos or hearing a song that instantly transports you back to 2016, and suddenly the emotions are flooding in all over again. Jaime Deraz drops this gem as a way to process those decade-old reflections that still sting like they're fresh. Released in early 2026, "Supercut" captures that relentless loop of memories—flashing highlights of a relationship that ended but never really let go. It's like your brain's highlight reel on shuffle, colliding regret with pulsing beats that make you want to move even as you're feeling the ache.
Musically, the track nails that electro pop sheen with catchy, shimmering synths and hooks that stick, while the UK garage influence brings in those signature shuffled rhythms, bouncy basslines, and that irresistible swing. The production pulses with energy—think tight percussion, subtle vocal chops, and a groove that's built for late-night drives or club floors where you can lose yourself in the rhythm. It's the perfect fusion: emotional depth wrapped in danceable, forward-moving vibes that keep things uplifting even when the lyrics dive into heartache.
Jaime Deraz is the real deal when it comes to turning real-life pain into powerful music. This Long Island singer/songwriter has been pouring raw emotion into her tracks since kicking off her career in 2019. She's dropped over 150 songs, racked up more than 17 million streams across her originals and collabs, and landed spots on major Spotify playlists like Dance Rising, New Music Friday in Germany and Switzerland, plus others worldwide. Tracks like her recent "In & Out" held down Spotify’s Pop Brandneu for four straight weeks. She's released on big labels including Sony Brasil, Universal Netherlands, BMG Italy, Armada, Soave, and Loudkult. In 2021, she even co-founded her own label, faded BLUE, where she serves as executive director.
What sets Jaime apart is her self-coined style: "Heartbreak House"—house music centered on lyrics for the heartbroken. Her songwriting draws from deep personal experiences, including the heavy emotional toll of caring for her mom through years of an undiagnosable motor neuron disease. That sorrowful cadence and picturesque language shine through, creating this beautiful ambivalence—blissful yet melancholic—that makes her stand out in the dance world.
Teaming up with Bad Boyfriend adds that extra layer of collaborative magic to "Supercut." The duo's chemistry brings a fresh edge to the sound, blending Jaime's heartfelt storytelling with production that feels current and club-ready.
And speaking of current—UK garage is having a serious moment right now. In 2026, we're seeing a full-on revival with new waves of NUKG (new UK garage), speed garage, 2-step, and bassline sounds dominating playlists and mixes everywhere. Artists are pushing the genre forward with vocal-driven tracks, deep bass, and that classic swing, making it one of the hottest trends in electronic music. Tracks like this fit right into the resurgence, proving that UK garage energy paired with electro pop emotion is exactly what listeners are craving.
If you're into nostalgic dance anthems that hit the feels while keeping the energy high, "Supercut" is a must-add to your rotation. It's a reminder that some connections don't fade—they just get remixed in our heads over time.
