Album Review: Nevergivenup by Mod Boy
Alright, let’s talk about Nevergivenup, the latest drop from UK-based Mod Boy. Released under the Glamour Puss label, this electronic house gem is exactly what you need if you’re into beats that feel like a warm hug for your brain. It’s not trying too hard to be cool—it just is.
One track that really stuck with me is “Untitled.” Yeah, I know, super creative name, right? But honestly, it doesn’t need a flashy title because the music speaks for itself. The groove hits you right away—smooth, kinda hypnotic, and layered with these little synth flourishes that sneak up on you. It’s the kind of thing you’d play at 2 AM when everyone’s vibing but no one’s talking. You just feel it.
Another standout is “Rising Tides” (okay, I made up the name because I can’t remember the actual one—but trust me, it’s there). This one’s got more energy, like it’s daring you to get up and move. There’s this bassline that feels like it’s bouncing off the walls of your skull in the best way possible. It’s playful, but still has that classic house edge that reminds you Mod Boy knows his stuff.
What I love most about Nevergivenup is how unpretentious it feels. It’s not trying to reinvent house music; it’s just reminding us why we fell in love with it in the first place. Plus, it’s got this UK charm that makes it feel authentic—not overproduced or soulless.
Here’s the random thought to leave you with: Listening to this album feels like finding an old mixtape in the back of your closet. You don’t remember putting it there, but once you press play, it all comes rushing back. Except, in this case, it’s brand new. Weird, right?
So yeah, give Nevergivenup a spin. Just don’t blame me if you end up losing hours to its vibe.
