NOTION explores the realms of breaks, drum & bass and jungle on powerful new album “Forwards”

Known for his bass-heavy roots, the Bristol-based artist NOTION now broadens his musical palette, venturing into garage, house, breaks, and jungle with a refreshing creative vision. His powerful, driving new project Forwards is not just a collection of tracks but a personal journey that reflects NOTION’s desire to push boundaries while staying true to his artistic integrity.

Throughout the mixtape, NOTION seamlessly blends club-ready anthems with introspective moments, creating a dynamic listening experience. Tracks like “Temporary Friends” with rising star Charlotte Plank and “Backbone” featuring Olivia Rose highlight his collaborative spirit, while unreleased gems such as “Styling” and “Secrets” emphasize his knack for innovation.

What sets Forwards apart is its refusal to conform to fleeting trends. NOTION deliberately crafts each track with longevity in mind, rebelling against the disposable culture of modern music. The result is a mixtape that feels equally at home on a packed dance floor or during a late-night drive. The artist explains that he "Hates the way all art seems to get reduced down to 15 second clips now and the songs on this project, all the music videos and everything else are kind of a fuck you to all that disposable culture and I hope something that still sound (and look) as good in five years as they do now.” – NOTION

With Forwards, NOTION delivers his most authentic work to date, solidifying his status as a versatile and forward-thinking force
