By Presta, 28 April 2025
Kenyan-British drum and bass virtuoso Degs is set to unleash his highly anticipated second album, If We Left This Earth, on May 8th via Hospital Records.
The 15-track project promises a seismic blend of global DnB energy and heartfelt Swahili-themed tributes to his Kenyan roots, including standout tracks like “Ngoma” (Drum) and “Rafiki” (Friend).
Degs’ album bridges continents, featuring collaborations with legendary icons and rising stars across the DnB scene. The lead single, “Hive Mind” (with Dux N Bass & NCT), dropped last month , offering a taste of the album’s genre-pushing sound. Vinyl collectors rejoice—the full project will also get a limited physical release.
Tracks like “Ngoma” and “Rafiki” weave Swahili lyrics into Degs’ signature basslines, a nod to his Nairobi heritage. “This record is for the culture—both my Kenyan family and global DnB fam,” he shares. The album’s themes explore identity, connection, and resilience, with Degs calling it his “most personal work yet.”
From London studios to Kenyan airwaves, Degs’ sound has dominated playlists. Now, with If We Left This Earth he’s doubling down on his mission: “I want my people to feel seen. This is our sound on the world stage.”
