Casey Club Gives Us the Lowdown on the ‘Borehole’ EP and His First North American Tour

1 week ago 16

Currently on the Cheeky Bugger Tour, Casey Club gives us insight into his productions, his friendships with peers, and what’s next for the project.

Hailing from the UK, bass beatmaker Casey Club has seen his career flourish within two years’ time. Since the release of his first single, the project has grown exponentially, gaining support from Spotify‘s Dubstep Don playlist and numerous influential artists. Along with high-profile releases on UKF and two Beatport #1s, his growing list of accomplishments has solidified the producer’s rise from the UK underground straight into the spotlight.

This year has already been a whirlwind for Casey Club with the release of his latest EP, Borehole, and a new single with Manga Saint Hilare entitled “Bigger Amount.” Now fully immersed in the project, the dynamic bass producer has found his stride and become one of the most promising producers in the scene.

Named one of EDM Identity’s Artists to Watch for 2026, we sat down with the delightful dubstep architect to discuss the Borehole EP, takeaways from touring the US for the first time, and what exciting news is coming down the pipeline as we delve further into the year.

The Casey Club project has been pumping out heavy-hitting beats for over two years now. What key lessons have you learned along the way, and how have they shaped your growth as an artist?

To be honest, I think the main thing has been to show up every day and try to write something or progress another aspect of the project in some way. There are times when I’ve had less motivation or a creative block, but being able to push through that has been what’s enabled me to reach the level I’m at currently.

Borehole is your latest body of work, with the five-track EP delving into a darker side of the project. What was the intention behind leaning toward experimental sounds, and what did you want your listeners to take away from it?

For me, it kind of encapsulates the sound of what winter is like in the UK. It feels grim and unrelenting, like the rain and cold of the UK.

I wanted to represent a more underground sound on this EP. I write a lot more experimental stuff behind the scenes, and I’m a big sound design guy. I love to create really unique-sounding tracks over something that might be a bit better on streaming platforms or could be considered fan service.

More than anything else, I try to make sure that I like the tunes. I figure if I like them, then my audience probably will too, but it’s still a bit of a gamble sometimes!

While Borehole embraces a darker sound, you’ve still managed to capture the energy of your earlier releases. How do you push into new territory while staying true to the core of the Casey Club sound?

I go through lots of cycles of writing tracks, and I create projects of this size probably once every couple of months that have a really clear and uniform sound and message like this EP. I feel that it’s really important to take inspiration from other genres and moods, and I was listening to a lot of minimal DnB when I wrote this EP.

I think as long as it’s me who writes it, it probably sounds like my work to a certain extent, so I try not to worry too much about what the “Casey Club sound” actually is. Broadly, I think the way I write keeps the uniformity between the releases. Normally, this is how I put together basslines or how I use tension and release in phrases with FX.

Your US debut recently took place in Washington, DC, where you supported Taiki Nulight on his Cheeky Bugger Tour. How important was it to finally break into the US music scene as an artist, and do you see this milestone as a turning point in your career?

Ahh, it was so good! Taiki is a really close friend of mine, and we’ve been working together since the very start of Casey Club.

We were in a Discord chat together two years ago, and I was writing some dubstep that, in turn, inspired him to have a go at it as well. I wrote my debut single, “Papi Riddim,” and he made the “Counting” remix — originally a bootleg!

Ever since, we’ve been super close and have been plotting about me getting my visa and making it to the States. So it’s about as full circle as you could get that I’m starting my journey with him both musically and with touring.

But yeah, this is definitely a big milestone and something I’ll look back on in years to come as being really important. I’m feeling very grateful for all the love and support I’ve had on the shows I’ve already done!

Have you noticed any differences between the US crowds versus those back home in the UK?

I think the main thing for me is that I tiptoe in and out of drum and bass culture in the UK during my sets. This can get a bit lost on an American audience; they’ll still enjoy the track, but might not be singing along like a UK crowd might be.

But in the States, they’re a lot more open-minded to trying new music, so it’s a bit of give and take. I love throwing a curveball during a set, and that always goes down really well on this tour through North America.

You’re already booked to play some massive shows throughout the year, including a set at Lightning in a Bottle. Are there any stops you’re especially excited for, and why?

Yeah, I think LiB is going to be super crazy. Sooo many other artists I know and love are on it, so it’s gonna be a massive link-up that will be really fun.

It’s probably a bit of an obvious one, but I’m really looking forward to doing a Red Rocks show as well. Not sure if I can say more about that, but keep your eyes peeled for it to drop!

At the moment with shows, I’m sort of dancing the line between the Tape B, Levity style wook-pilled dubstep and the more headsy Taiki, Hamdi, Cesco 140-flavors, so I’m really looking forward to experiencing playing both types of crowd this year.

As for new music, you’ve got an ID floating around with Hamdi. What’s on the horizon for you as we head deeper into 2026, and can fans expect a release for the massive tune sometime soon?

Yes! It’s scheduled for release, actually! I’m really looking forward to getting this one out. Hamdi and I have actually been chatting online for years. Before Casey Club, even, when I was doing my old project Kiddah, back when everything was done on Facebook!

Gotta give him his dues, he’s been killing it, and was definitely a massive inspiration seeing him go bang. It really made it feel doable for me seeing him succeed first. But yeah, keep an eye out — it’s coming!
