Jemma Bolt and Loop Dee Loop have signed to David Penn’s Urbana Recordings, releasing their debut collaborative single ‘Love Drug’ on 25th September 2026. The track marks the first public output from a studio partnership rooted in the Discoliscious collective, and it arrives having already earned one of house music’s most credible early endorsements — Carl Cox has been spinning it regularly in his house sets from a test pressing, before the record has even reached streaming platforms.
That kind of pre-release momentum carries real weight. A DJ of Cox’s standing playing an unannounced track, watching the room react, and returning to it — that is how house records build their reputations before anyone knows what they are called. ‘Love Drug’ already has that story attached to it, and the formal release simply catches up with what the dancefloor has already decided.
The record itself earns that attention without overreaching. Swinging drums provide the foundation, loose enough to breathe and move without losing grip. Soulful riffs and bright synth touches add colour across the arrangement, while a sultry vocal gives the track its personality and emotional centre. The DNA is unmistakably classic house and disco, but the production doesn’t lean on nostalgia as a crutch — it sounds contemporary and DJ-ready, built to land in a set rather than to reference one. That balance sits comfortably within the Urbana Recordings catalogue, a label that has consistently operated in the space where soulful, polished house music remains functional above all else.
The partnership between Bolt and Loop Dee Loop began in Ibiza, through a moment that was more accident than design. Bolt opened The Bunker at UNVRS Ibiza using one of Loop Dee Loop’s remixes, the two connected, and they subsequently moved into the studio together. They have already completed three tracks from those sessions, with ‘Love Drug’ serving as the opening statement of what that collaboration sounds like. Both artists are members of the Discoliscious collective, and the shared creative context shows — the record carries the energy of that dancefloor without needing to explain itself.
Bolt brings considerable live experience to the project. She currently holds a weekly residency at UNVRS as part of David Guetta’s Galactic Circus, performing alongside the Discoliscious collective across 2025 and into summer 2026. Her career has taken her through Hï Ibiza, Fabric’s Room 1, Café Mambo, Glastonbury, Creamfields, and the Isle of Wight Festival, and her previous studio work includes collaborations with Jordan Peak, K Klass and Electric Emma.
Loop Dee Loop arrives with her own momentum. Over the past two years she has performed at Arcadia during Glastonbury, Fatboy Slim’s All Back to Minehead, Studio 338, and UNVRS as part of the Discoliscious residency. Her productions have drawn support from Carl Cox, Jaguar, Arielle Free and BBC Introducing, and her current studio schedule includes work with Roland Clark and Audio Bullys — a range that speaks to an artist operating across multiple corners of the house and electronic space simultaneously.
Together, the two bring complementary profiles to a record that doesn’t ask for much beyond a decent sound system and a willing room. ‘Love Drug’ is not attempting to reframe house music or push it somewhere unfamiliar. It is trying to do something more specific and arguably more difficult — to make a track that feels inevitable once it is playing, that holds its ground in a serious DJ set, and that sounds as good in six months as it does on release day. Cox’s early adoption suggests it is already doing exactly that.
