Neonlight

Neonlight is the project of Leipzig childhood friends Jakob Thomser and Tobias Jakubczyk, who began making music together in 2007 after DJing and receiving encouragement to develop original material. Before adopting the name Neonlight, they produced as Pitch’n’Sulphur and Nize5ive; they established the project in 2009 and entered the drum-and-bass scene that year. Early releases included the 2007 track “Tuning / Creative Wax” and the single “Wave” on Ammunition Recordings. Their sound combines neurofunk’s forceful bass and detailed production with melody and harmonic movement.

In 2011, Neonlight released the EP The Frozen Tape on Trust in Music, followed by the single “Contraire / Ultraviolet” on Bad Taste. The single “Spirit / Joker”, made with BLOKHE4D and Hedj, also appeared on Bad Taste Recordings that year. Their music has also come out through Viper, Lifted, Blackout and Cause4Concern, as well as their own diascope imprint.

The album My Galactic Tale and the tracks “Computer Music” and “Hammerhead” are among Neonlight’s releases. Their EPs include Byte Bites Bit, Power Hour, Sidus and Edge. They have collaborated with Mefjus, Aeph, Inside Info and Hedj, as well as Black Sun Empire, State of Mind and Badlokk. “Consume The Power” brought Black Sun Empire, State of Mind, Neonlight and Lowqui together on a release for Blackout Music NL. In 2022, the duo released Vanity Fair on that label and spoke with UKF about its development.

In 2025, Neonlight released “Prism” with Vici on Blackout Music NL. Their 2026 releases include “Purple Radiance” on Evolution Chamber, “Propaganda (Neonlight Remix)” with Prdk and Qo on Hoofbeats Music, “Leaving Wonderland” on Eatbrain and “In My Bones” on Hanzom Music. The duo played at Void Hall on 9 October 2026.
