Heard It Here First

The bridge between UK and U.S. dubstep just got a lot shorter. Casey Club is currently leading the charge, and his latest EP, Borehole, is the loudest evidence yet. Released via Zeds Dead’s powerhouse label Deadbeats, the project isn’t just a collection of tracks, but it’s a statement of intent. It arrives just as Casey Club prepares to join Taiki Nulight’s “Cheeky Bugger 360°” tour. Tour dates span all corners of the U.S., from Denver in February 2026 to Orlando in April 2026.

2025 was a pivotal year for Casey Club. At Boomtown 2025, their set carried the weight of a turning point. It marked the last time John and Chelsea would perform alongside each other as Casey Club, closing the chapter on the duo era. With Chelsea now stepping away, Casey Club moves forward as a one-man project, keeping the same DNA that built the name while tightening the vision into something sharper.

After hitting North American festivals like Shambhala and Bass Canyon in 2025, his momentum continues into 2026. Casey Club has already locked in 2026 dates for ILLfest and Lightning in a Bottle. More recently, Casey collaborated with U.S. dubstep powerhouse Mary Droppinz on the track “Sofa Soup,” released via Crucast. Between that and other massive tunes like “Brostep Flow,” “Voicenote Violence,” “Level 1” and dozens more under his belt, it’s crazy we are being blessed with even more bangers from Casey Club to start off 2026.

Borehole is a five-track EP released via Deadbeats that moves like an underground dubstep club set. It’s punchy, short, and built to keep the crowd bouncing, with a seasoning of Casey Club’s gritty UK roots.

The EP kicks off with the title track, “Borehole.” Once angelic vocals are cut and chopped up, they’re looped into a thick, revolving bassline. That momentum carries straight into “Bear Trap,” a track built on pure movement. An alarm-like synth drives the first punchy groove. Just before the low-end takes over, Casey punctuates the intro with a classic UK MC ad-lib, nodding to his UK grime roots.

“Clicker” opens on an eerie stretch of tension, letting synths creep in as a warning before it snaps into an abrasive drop. The lead tone comes through almost like a robot speaking through static before the second drop smooths things out with a hypnotic, strobing feel. The sound design stays simple and intentional, a clean contrast to the kind of overloaded dubstep that can feel stuffed to the brim with noise.

“Sol” ramps the energy back up into full-throttle dubstep. Marching kicks and ping-ponging synths are designed to keep the room bouncing. Vocal snippets, pulsing synths, distinct textures, and upfront hats tie the whole jam together. Finally, “Iron Sights” closes the journey by layering galloping hats over a massive, thick bassline. It’s a track that refuses to sit still, constantly shifting its textures and throwing in synths to keep the listener guessing. Casey Club threads in samples pulled from reggaetón and dancehall rhythms, giving the record a deeper pulse and a sense of lineage.

This new Borehole EP cements Casey Club’s signature style. It’s got that unmistakable UK flair, but the production is clearly built for the massive sound systems at festivals worldwide. It’s gritty, it’s vibrant, and it’s exactly what the scene needs right now.
