Spacesuit (feat. Gabriella Bongo)

Degs

Degs teams up with rising star Gabriella Bongo on Spacesuit, a soulful, immersive liquid drum & bass journey from his forthcoming album If We Left This Earth. Out now on Hospital Records.

Released 10 March 2025

Degs has built a reputation for seamlessly blending soulful melodies with razor-sharp lyricism, and Spacesuit is another testament to his ability to craft emotive, weighty drum & bass. Featuring the rapidly rising Gabriella Bongo, this track is a shining example of how Hospital Records continues to push the boundaries of liquid D&B while championing fresh talent.

Gabriella Bongo’s presence on Spacesuit is something special. At just 20 years old, the South London-based songwriter, producer, and DJ has already turned heads with her deeply emotive and introspective take on the genre. Fresh from her debut EP, Unsettled Rhythms, which featured the unmistakable tones of Liam Bailey, she brings an air of vulnerability and warmth to this collaboration. Her delicate vocal work and immersive storytelling elevate Spacesuit beyond a standard liquid roller, turning it into a heartfelt exploration of space, distance, and connection.

Musically, Spacesuit glides effortlessly on a bed of warm pads, crisp breaks, and deep, rolling basslines. Degs’ signature flow interweaves with Gabriella’s soulful delivery, creating a dynamic yet delicate balance that highlights both artists’ strengths. The production is lush and expansive, carrying a weightless quality that perfectly matches the track’s title—like drifting in orbit, untethered yet at peace.

 

As part of Degs’ upcoming album If We Left This Earth, Spacesuit is a clear standout, signalling the direction of his latest project—one that is as rich in emotion as it is in technical finesse. With Gabriella Bongo making waves in the scene, this collaboration is more than just a feature; it’s a bold statement of intent from both artists. Expect to hear this one in heavy rotation across liquid sets and beyond.
