London-based DJ and producer AC (dot robot) opens the new EP London 2026 with "No Regret," released on October 16, 2026. The four-track EP documents a period of change, independence and self-discovery across four seasons, and "No Regret" is where that story begins.
A Track Born on a Flight
AC moved to London from China at 18. "No Regret" was conceived during a flight from China back to London, five years after that first arrival. The track looks back on the discrimination, harassment, heartbreak and self-doubt of those years, but its focus is freedom and the decision to keep pursuing the life AC chose. In an interview with Fame Magazine, AC frames the EP like this: "No Regret is where the transition begins, and Summertime Daydream is where it ends."
The track is tagged as peak and driving techno, with deep trance and hyperpop listed as extra influences. The EP shows a more reflective side of an artist known for high-intensity techno, trance and hardcore.
Four Seasons, Four Tracks
After "No Regret," winter brings "The Worst of Me," about possessiveness, guilt and the damage caused within a relationship. Spring arrives with "Rocky," which folds the sound of the traditional Chinese pipa into melodic electronics. "Summertime Daydream" closes the record by looking back at childhood summers, before that warmth gives way to homesickness. AC calls the whole thing a "mini audio diary."
