In a dark, driving big-room techno cut built for expansive dancefloors, Linska returns with “World & Back,” out January 16, teaming up with Grime legend Riko Dan for a raw, high-impact release that leans fully into her heavier club instincts.
Anchored by pulsating low-end pressure, rolling percussion, and cavernous synth work, “World & Back” locks into a relentless groove engineered for warehouse systems and late-night festival moments. Riko Dan’s unmistakable, moody delivery cuts through the mix with uncompromising authority, injecting the track with grime’s commanding spirit while amplifying its tension and urgency. Gritty and unfiltered, the collaboration bridges techno’s physical drive with the razor-edged presence of UK grime.
For Linska, the release marks another decisive step forward in a rapidly ascending career. One of electronic music’s most exciting emerging forces, she first captured global attention with her breakout single “Bad Boy,” which has now surpassed 15 million streams, topped Beatport’s Melodic House & Techno chart, and reached #2 overall. Since then, she’s continued to refine a signature sound rooted in tech house and techno, earning support from Rebūke, Emmit Fenn, Solomun, and Gorgon City. That momentum has translated seamlessly to the world’s biggest stages, with standout performances at Coachella, EDC Las Vegas, Ushuaïa Ibiza, HARD Summer, and an ongoing LIV Las Vegas residency.
Best known as a founding member of Roll Deep and a cornerstone of grime’s formative years, Riko Dan’s legacy spans collaborations with Rudimental, Ms Dynamite, and Chase & Status, alongside multiple UK Singles Chart appearances. On “World & Back,” his voice functions as both a rhythmic weapon and an emotional anchor, elevating the track’s intensity and grounding its aggression.
“World & Back” sets the tone for what promises to be a defining year ahead for Linska. Inspired by her roots in gaming culture, the UK underground, and the global festival circuit, her catalog fuses immersive sound design, commanding vocal elements, and relentless energy. With this latest release, she goes bigger, darker, and harder—signaling a continued evolution as a producer unafraid to push boundaries and dominate the dancefloor.
