“WAITING” pairs Bristol’s bass maverick Notion with rising star Willow Kayne for a club heater that feels both nostalgic and next-gen.
NOTION delivers a killer beat that pulls straight from the UK’s rave history, but the jersey club twist keeps it locked in 2025.
Notion, known for his UK-bass and drum & bass fusion, and Willow Kayne, the Ivor Novello-winning Bristol singer with a punk-rave edge, make perfect sense together.
The drum and bass foundation rattles hard, and somehow the competing rhythms don’t trip over each other, they push the track forward.
Willow Kayne’s vocals are the secret weapon here. Her cadence brings a soul that this kind of production doesn’t always get, turning a club track into something you’ll actually remember the next morning.
Her voice cuts through the chaos without fighting it, riding the beat like she’s been doing this combination her whole life.
The bridge section where everything tightens up feels claustrophobic in the best way possible. When it drops back in, that release hits with intensity.
The track manages to be atmospheric and absolutely relentless at the same time, a combination that shouldn’t work but does.
What makes this work is the balance. NOTION could have drowned the track in nostalgia.
Willow could have played it safe with a standard topline. Instead, they made something that works in the club and your headphones. The production feels busy on paper but clean in execution.
Worth multiple spins.
