Riya feat Fox, GQ and Total Science

The London-based vocalist is about to step up with her debut album on Spearhead Records

If you're a drum 'n' bass head in the slightest, you're likely to have heard the super slick tones and melodies of London-based vocalist Riya.

She's worked with some of the best in the game, from Marcus Intalex ('Regrets') and Lenzman ('How Did I Let You Go?') to dBridge ('Seems Like') and S.P.Y ('Loneliness').

After years of featuring, 2015's the year she flips the question and asks the producers to feature on her debut album 'Sublimation'. Hybrid Minds, LSB, Enei, Break and Villem & McLeod are among some of those providing beats, as well as Total Science who she's hooked up with plenty of times before.

They got in the studio for 'Don't You Know', with Manchester's Fox and one of the best d'n'b MCs around, GQ, also involved. The result? A tough, skittering riddim, filled with rewinds and rumbles, with Riya doing the business with her love-laced lyrics.

'Sublimation' is out via Spearhead Records on August 21 on CD and is expected on September 10 on vinyl
