Opening 2026 with a statement release, YUSSI and MÆDM join forces for their first collaboration of the year on “LIKE THAT,” a late-night drum & bass cut released via Monstercat that leans as heavily into emotion as it does momentum.
Built on a restless low-end and tightly wound percussion, “LIKE THAT” thrives in the space between restraint and release. The track doesn’t rush to make its point; instead, it simmers. Sub-bass rolls beneath clipped vocal phrases, creating a hypnotic pull that feels designed for dimly lit dancefloors and post-midnight sets where time starts to blur. When the drop finally lands, it doesn’t explode — it locks in, favoring groove and propulsion over excess.
There’s a deliberate sensuality woven into the track’s DNA. According to YUSSI, “LIKE THAT pulls you into a state of late night euphoria, moving away from inhibitions and towards desires… guided towards the person who makes you feel high when they’re around.” That sentiment translates clearly in the production choices: the bassline feels intimate rather than aggressive, while atmospheric layers add a sense of closeness, as if the track is less about commanding a room and more about connecting within it.
MÆDM’s influence shows in the track’s polish and pacing. Each section breathes, allowing tension to build naturally rather than relying on dramatic switch-ups. This approach gives “LIKE THAT” replay value the kind of track that reveals its nuances after multiple listens, whether on a proper sound system or through headphones.
