Mista X - Calling

UK-based lyricist MISTA X, known for his gritty, streetwise bars and raw delivery, takes a surprising yet refreshing turn with his latest track — a soulful liquid drum and bass tune produced by none other than DJ Komatose. Titled as an unofficial "summer slammer," this track blends uplifting melodies with introspective lyricism, offering listeners a dream-like escape soundtracked by smooth rolling beats and emotional depth.

While MISTA X is celebrated across the drum and bass scene for his high-energy, no-holds-barred performances, this release sees him tapping into his softer, more reflective side. The ethereal production from Komatose sets the stage with shimmering synths, fluid basslines, and crisp percussion, creating the perfect backdrop for MISTA X to express his inner thoughts and personal reflections. It’s a fusion of heartfelt storytelling and classic liquid DnB vibes — a track made for both sunlit summer BBQs and early-morning rave sessions alike.

With performances spanning legendary events like Innovation in the Sun, Random Concept, and Breakin’ Science, MISTA X has earned his place in the UK DnB circuit. His musical journey began with a deep love for hip-hop, gradually evolving into a style that merges the cadence of grime with the pace of drum and bass. His versatility as an MC allows him to adapt seamlessly to any subgenre, whether it’s jump-up, minimal, or liquid.

In his own words, “My biggest UK inspiration was MC Skibadee — his flow was unmatched. Eksman brought grime clash-style energy to drum and bass, which influenced me massively. Artists like Skepta, JME, Devilman, and Ghetts also shaped my sound.”

This new release with DJ Komatose showcases MISTA X in a new light — still raw, still real, but emotionally resonant. Available now on all platforms, it’s a must-listen for fans of melodic, heartfelt UK drum and bass music.
