Los Angeles-based DJ and producer The Duchess teams up with multiplatinum songwriter and vocalist DYSON for the highly anticipated release of “Drunk on U,” a hypnotic drum & bass single out March 20 on Monstercat. The hypnotic drum & bass track, originally conceived in 2019, carries a powerful story of resilience, fate, and artistic passion that unfolded over several years and across continents.
The origins of “Drunk on U” date back to a fateful introduction between The Duchess (Kendra Videckis) and DYSON (Lauren Dyson) through a mutual friend. What began as a remote collaboration between the pair evolved into a deeply personal anthem shaped by fate and perseverance. Initially recorded under the name “Feelings”, the track was nearly lost when Kendra’s home was destroyed in the Palisades fires – yet, miraculously, the demo survived. As The Duchess rebuilt her life and honed her craft, she revisited the track, refining its haunting melodies and hypnotic flow.
Now, finding the perfect home on Monstercat, “Drunk on U” captures the dizzying intensity of all-consuming love, blending ethereal drum & bass rhythms with DYSON’s evocative vocal delivery. Crafted entirely online, Kendra and Lauren only met in person for the first time as the final version was completed -a full-circle moment that mirrors the serendipitous journey of the song itself.As The Duchess continues to carve her path in the electronic music space, “Drunk on U” marks just the beginning of what promises to be a milestone year for the rising artist. With an unshakable vision, she is proving that resilience and artistry go hand in hand. As she steps into her next chapter, The Duchess shows no signs of slowing down – only rising higher.
