Following the momentum of their recent floor-shattering single “Muleta”, Anglo-Russian duo Magnetude waste no time in delivering the next chapter in their arsenal with their deeply conceptual and emotionally charged single - “The Star”.
Known for their cinematic storytelling and technical precision, Magnetude continue to gain recognition for expansive, story-driven productions that blur the lines between music, myth, and raw emotion.
“The Star” draws inspiration from the reversed interpretation of the Star tarot card, which symbolises lost hope, self-doubt, despair, and disconnection. The track explores these themes with purpose—both musically and conceptually—while still leaving a flicker of light at the end of the tunnel. Anchored by a haunting vocal, the opening sets the tone with an eerie sense of vulnerability and unease, yet subtly alludes at the possibility of redemption, staying true to the dual nature of the card.
The first drop strikes with Magnetude’s signature call-and-response lead work, intricately layered with soaring synths and dynamic phrasing. As the arrangement unfolds, a dramatic classical switch reshapes the atmosphere, momentarily suspending the intensity before diving back into the track’s central motif. The breakdown pulls the energy into a moment of calm, luring the listener into a false sense of security before unleashing a second drop that is both forceful and emotionally resonant—highlighting just how far Magnetude stretch the emotional range of their sound while maintaining dancefloor power at its core.
Musically rich and thematically layered, “The Star” presents Magnetude at their most refined. It not only reflects their unmistakable artistic identity but also strengthens their growing legacy within the five-year-strong Evolution Chamber imprint—serving as a clear reminder of why they remain one of the most creatively ambitious duos in Drum & Bass today.
