Discussing Matters with NOTION
UK dance music artist NOTION is currently making waves in the industry, becoming one of the leading names in the new-generation of UK dance music artists. Based in Bristol, a city with a profound impact on major dance music genres, NOTION's unique perspective and creative approach are both futuristic and impactful, building on his penchant for delivering turbo-charged music that exudes a variety of emotions.
In 2023, NOTION launched a sold-out, eight-date UK tour, featuring a boat party and a radio show, based on the success of his DANCE DUBS project. This project, a collection of exclusive, unreleased tracks, has garnered over three million plays on SoundCloud, playing a crucial role in helping NOTION cultivate a loyal fanbase.
The DANCE DUBS tour marked a significant milestone in NOTION's career, but it's not the only exciting development. His latest offering, the 'FORWARDS' Mixtape, was recently unveiled, starting with the uplifting track 'FEEL LIKE ME'. The mixtape, out on August 30, will be an exhibition of NOTION's ever-evolving sound, traversing from bass and bassline cuts into a more versatile blend of electronica, garage, breaks, and jungle.
NOTION's 'FORWARDS' Mixtape has received massive support from scene heavyweights like Sammy Virji, Joy Orbison, Ben UFO, Floating Points Conducta, salute, Disclosure, Joy Orbison, and Ewan McVicar. This mixtape represents a natural progression of his artistic journey and a testament to his relentless pursuit of innovation and passion for discovering the endless potential within his craft.
As for his North American tour, it has been a major highlight of his year. NOTION's energetic dancefloor cuts were also showcased at the highly anticipated Glastonbury debut, where he dished out his unique blend of bass music, house, breaks, and jungle at the UK's most prestigious musical gathering.
NOTION believes in leaning into being himself and not trying to fit into the dance music landscape too much. This authenticity is reflected in his work, as he consistently pushes the envelope by reinvigorating bass music in his own enterprising ways. He is featured as a "UK bassline heavyweight" on CHAOS’s roster, a label that is gaining momentum in the UK dance scene with a focus on community and club culture.
As part of CHAOS, NOTION is involved in live events, including a notable night on August 30, 2025, promising "talented artists, immaculate vibes, and non-stop hand waves," indicating ongoing performances and party promotions into the remainder of 2025. He also curates or features in regular music playlists and mixes, such as the "NOTION NOW" series, which showcases fresh tracks and supports building community around new music.
With his sold-out UK tour, successful DANCE DUBS project, and the upcoming release of the 'FORWARDS' Mixtape, NOTION is poised to embark on another thrilling chapter, promising to bring fresh and groundbreaking elements to his future releases. His next move promises to be both innovative and captivating, a move that will once again challenge the status quo and deliver something truly remarkable.
