Given Peace in 2025: Ten Releases and Two Guest Mixes
Published August 6, 2026 · A verified look back at the year Given Peace moved between melodic house, UK garage, 140 bass and drum & bass.
2025 was a wide-angle year for Given Peace. Across ten commercial releases, the project moved from the melodic house foundation of all I need is you into emotional and textured UK garage, collaborative 140 bass, experimental drum & bass and club-focused records. The year also included long-form guest mixes for Beat Lab Radio and Swerve.
This timeline is built from the official Given Peace catalog, public release destinations and sourced mix archives.
Ten releases in five months
The release run began May 30 with Breakthrough — NEONMYST Remix, a new version of the Given Peace and Lauren Sargent collaboration. From late June through early September, nine more records followed:
- Breakthrough — NEONMYST Remix — May 30
- I'm Looking For You — Radio Edit — June 27
- all I wanna — June 28
- u — July 11
- itallgoesaway — July 18
- fdat — July 25
- all I need is you — August 1
- Quema — August 8
- '97 Stratus — August 29
- get down — September 5
The middle of that run documents three distinct sides of the project. I'm Looking For You, u and itallgoesaway share a melodic, melancholy 4x4 UKG language. '97 Stratus pushes the garage side toward more texture and detailed sound design. all I wanna takes a headier drum & bass route, built around a rumbling low end and a more experimental feel.
At the center is all I need is you, the melodic-house collaboration with Fulminate. That original eventually became the source for the 176 BPM all I need is you (VIP), produced as a house-to-drum-&-bass DJ transition and scheduled for release August 7, 2026.
Collaboration drove the catalog
Four of the ten releases make the collaborative network especially visible:
- Breakthrough — NEONMYST Remix revisits the Given Peace and Lauren Sargent record through NEONMYST's remix.
- fdat, made with RatchaelBeats, places UK rap over 140s bass and trap production.
- all I need is you, made with Fulminate, anchors the melodic-house side of the catalog.
- Quema, made with VELVET, sits in Given Peace's 140 bass/trap lane.
That range matters more than forcing the year under one genre tag. The records still connect through bass movement, club utility and melodic tension.
Two long-form guest mixes
On March 19, Beat Lab Radio published the 66-minute Given Peace exclusive guest mix. It gave the project a long-form radio setting outside the release schedule.
On November 16, Swerve published Given Peace — Swerve Mix Series #43. The 37-track set moves from 132 BPM club selections through grime, UK garage and 140 bass before closing at 176 BPM drum & bass. The complete BPM-and-key Swerve tracklist is published on the Mixes page, including seven Given Peace productions, collaborations and edits.
Independent coverage
On November 25, thatDROP published its Given Peace interview, covering the Portland artist project, production approach and Pacific Northwest perspective. It remains part of the sourced Given Peace Press & EPK archive.
What 2025 set up
The 2025 run made the current Given Peace catalog easier to understand: melodic house can become a drum & bass VIP; emotional 4x4 UKG can sit next to 140 bass; and club records can lead naturally into long-form mixes. That genre-fluid approach carried into 2026 releases including Dame Más, anything4u and the all I need is you (VIP).
