There’s something magnetic about Maya Randle — an artist who fuses emotional intelligence with unflinching sonic precision. The Birmingham-born producer, vocalist, and creative visionary returns this week with “let you in”, a track that cements her as one of the UK’s most forward-thinking voices in the new wave of drum & bass.
Following the momentum of her Redemption pt.1 EP and the punchy single “the system,” Randle’s new release unfolds as a masterclass in mood and texture. Driven by percussive basslines and agile, skittering hi-hats, “let you in” pulses with tension — its atmospheric, pitch-shifted vocals cutting through like a confession whispered in a crowded room. The result is both hypnotic and human, blending the emotional vulnerability of alt-electronica with the fearless energy of contemporary DnB.
At just 24 years old, Randle’s trajectory has been nothing short of electric. With over 70,000 monthly Spotify listeners and breakout singles like “one more time” and “attraction” approaching a million combined streams, she’s quickly proving that her artistry extends far beyond the underground. Her standout remix of Birdy’s “Wings” — now surpassing 10 million streams — has become a benchmark moment for the young producer, bridging generations of listeners with her sleek and soul-stirring approach to electronic production.
Her growing footprint across platforms speaks volumes: a 29K-strong TikTok following, and high-profile support from peers and tastemakers including ROMY, Mall Grab, Charlotte Plank, Denham Audio, BVNQUET, lau.ra, Lu.Re, and Mila Falls. Randle’s name now sits comfortably alongside a new class of artists reshaping the contours of UK dance music — introspective, genre-fluid, and emotionally resonant.
Streaming platforms have taken note too. Her releases have landed across major playlists including Spotify’s New Music Friday UK (#1 Dance placement), RADAR: UK & Ireland, Glow, Planet Rave, and Apple Music’s New Daily Music, not to mention strong editorial presence on Amazon’s Fresh EDM.
Radio and press have been equally enamored — BBC Introducing West Midlands named her Artist of the Month, with co-signs from Sarah Story, Jaguar, Charlie Tee, and Theo Johnson on BBC Radio 1, plus a guest mix on KEXP’s Midnight in a Perfect World. Publications like DJ Mag have lauded her as an artist “pushing other senses into overdrive with her deeply emotive take on dancefloor drum & bass.”
With “let you in”, Maya Randle isn’t just releasing another single — she’s extending an invitation into her world: one where rhythm meets reflection, and where the future of UK electronic music hums with both precision and pulse.
