Following the success of his latest “Dua Lipa Approved” single with Guy Burns and James Poole, UKG riser Smokey Bubblin’ B returns with his next collaborative feat alongside producer, songwriter and vocalist Lu.Re
Smokey Bubblin’ B caps off another landmark year with his newest single ‘Want It To Be’ alongside producer, songwriter and vocalist Lu.Re on 9th December. This latest collaboration is a high-energy speed garage weapon that unites Smokey’s trademark skippy swing with the forward-thinking sound of one of UKG’s most exciting new-school voices, Lu.Re. Landing just in time for end-of-year dancefloors, the track sees two razor sharp producers channel classic garage energy through an electric, modern lens.
Built for fast footwork ‘Want It To Be’ fires out with tight keys and skipping 2-step drums. The production is punchy and precision-cut, rooted in speed garage but lifted with the duo’s unmistakable modern swing. Lu.Re’s vocals glide through the track with ease, adding a rhythmic and infectious edge. Together they deliver a high-voltage UKG bouncer built for bright, propulsive club energy.
Fresh off a standout year of charting releases, heavyweight DJ support and a growing presence across global dancefloors, Smokey Bubblin’ B continues to shape the new era of UKG with his genre-fluid blend of garage, house and cutting-edge club energy. His tracks, released on TSZR, Higher Ground, ATW and Disorder, have earned support from the scene’s heaviest hitters including Peggy Gou, Jamie Jones, Michael Bibi, Chris Stussy, Patrick Topping and more, helping cement him as one of the scene’s most inspiring rising producers. His sets have soundtracked major institutions such as Boomtown, Drumsheds and Hideout , as well as a busy run of European and Australasian tour dates. Smokey’s influence continues to expand globally, with his hits ‘Poison’ and ‘Young World’ having amassed over 39 million streams combined, and viral moments which have seen his tracks featured everywhere from Fred again..’s Boiler Room to Lando Norris’ social posts.
Joining him on ‘Want It To Be’ is Lu.Re, a rising force in UKG’s resurgence whose hybrid skill set as a producer, DJ, singer and songwriter has positioned her at the forefront of the genre’s evolution. Drawing from garage, jungle, breaks and bass, her vibrant, sub-heavy sound and emotive vocal presence embody the forward-thinking movement redefining UK dance music today.
‘Want It To Be’ rounds off a stellar 2025 for the duo, closing the year on a definitive high and marking an emphatic finish before they level up again in 2026.
