Hey music fam, ever had one of those tracks hit you right in the feels while the bass is shaking your soul? That's exactly what Solomon France delivers with his latest single "Only The Good Die Young" featuring Joshua Luke. Released under Lost In Dreams Records, this Mainline Drum & Bass cut (with a touch of Light Drum & Bass vibes) is the kind of emotional rollercoaster that reminds us why we fell in love with DNB in the first place.
If you're into melodic drum and bass that blends high-energy drops with heartfelt moments, this one needs to be on repeat right now. Solomon France, the rising Australian producer and singer-songwriter from Newcastle, has been carving out his space in the scene since dropping tracks on Monstercat (under his previous alias SØL) and building momentum with boundary-pushing sounds. At just 23, he's already a pioneer mixing genres and emotions in ways that stand out in the crowded drum and bass world.
"Only The Good Die Young" leans into that reflective, emotionally charged territory Solomon does so well. The production builds on a steady, melodic foundation typical of mainline DNB—think rolling basslines that hit hard but leave room for atmosphere, crisp drums driving the rhythm, and subtle light drum and bass elements adding a smoother, more accessible edge. Joshua Luke's vocals bring real warmth and depth, turning the track into something more than just a dancefloor weapon. It's got that perfect balance: energetic enough to get the crowd moving at a festival or club night, but introspective enough to connect on a personal level when you're listening alone with headphones.
Lost In Dreams Records is the ideal home for this release. The label has been killing it with future bass, melodic dubstep, and vocal-driven dance music that blurs lines between imagination and reality. They've been pushing quality emotional electronic sounds, and this collab fits right in alongside their growing roster of standout tracks. In a year where melodic drum and bass continues to evolve and cross over into bigger audiences, Solomon France is riding that wave beautifully—mixing his Australian roots with polished production that feels both fresh and familiar.
What I love most about this kind of release is how it shows the maturing side of DNB. Mainline Drum & Bass is having a serious moment, with artists blending liquid smoothness, powerful builds, and lyrical storytelling. Solomon France brings his own singer-songwriter background into the mix, making "Only The Good Die Young" feel like a proper song rather than just a beat. It's the sort of track that could easily soundtrack late-night drives, intense workouts, or those big festival mainstage moments.
If you're discovering Solomon France here, do yourself a favor and check out his previous work too—he's got that versatile energy that keeps you coming back. And if you're already a fan of artists pushing emotional drum and bass, this is essential listening for 2026.
