Spoiler alert: Things are about to get very UKF10 on this channel. We'll upload one track from the album daily until Friday, with more to come over the next few weeks...

With that said, we're proud to kickstart this week with Flite's phenomenal Tragedy, Humanity: a deep and personal contribution to our album, it showcases where Flite is at this exact moment in time. We took a moment last week to sit down with him to talk about this track, the RL Grime bootleg and much more... keep an eye out for the feature on our social channels in the coming days.

Often I think to myself, "How did we get here? Right now. And where are we meant to go?". Sometimes I wonder if we realize our trajectory, the beauty which we pass by so comfortably and regard as permanent, dissolving slowly in front of us. Our caution-less use of time, as if it were unlimited. Our part of this earth and universe, and our collective curse on it. Is Tragedy innate to being human? Are we the Tragedy upon mother Earth? The past serves as a reminder to the future, should we pay attention, and a revelation towards our progress as a people. Sometimes we need to remind ourselves exactly where we came from.

Much love everyone, especially UKF, who I discovered Drum & Bass through exactly ten years ago when I was 15. It's such a fantastic pleasure to feel part of the movement that once inspired me to start producing music. What a great way to end the decade. Love you all <3

Flite definitely deserves more recognition. He's one of the first liquid dnb artists I listened to years ago and he's so talented for being so young. I got to see him in Nashville and he was literally just chilling in the crowd before his set. I recognized him and told him how much his music meant to me!

[LanLingPeng]

It’s not just a song, ITS A WHOLE THEORY OF TRAGEDY

[edster]

The level of orchestration put into this is just outstanding, flite just delivers on another level

[sandelser]

intro and buildup had some Hans Zimmer - Stay (Delta Heavy Bootleg) vibes, and oh my lord, the flip!! fhuaaaark massive tune, this is really something else 🔥

[Pandahydra]

Eargasm confirmed, Flite prove again that he's an absolute genius of the DnB scene whit this one.

Keep it up buddy, proud of you.

[Benben_Bbx]

One of the most talented producer in the game right now !

[LynDash]

The first and second drops look like a "Camo & Krooked" drop, which is really great. So much good vibes. Long life to Flite.

[CompanionCube]

this is only 2 years old? it feels like this has been part of my life since forever

[jamesbk]

This is now officially my favourite tune

[thevanillaaa]

You know a song is good when the most replayed part is at the beginning and not right before the drop

[RexMarchOfEmpires]

after 2 months of stressing, finally got good news today. And listening to this song now with a blunt, woah. All the stress flowing away out of the body. Amazing song !
