For this exclusive Point Blank masterclass, we teamed up with the mighty UK band, Rudimental, to unveil the magic behind their hit track, ‘Feel The Love’.
Having signed to Asylum Records, Atlantic Records and Black Butter Records, releasing numerous UK chart-topping hits, playing global sell-out shows and been nominated for a Mercury Prize, as well as winning several awards such as the Brit Award and the MOBO Award for Best Album, Rudimental are undoubtedly one of the most successful acts to come out of the UK in the last decade.
The band’s John Newman-featuring track, ‘Feel The Love’, was an instant hit, debuting at number-one on the UK Singles Chart. Since its release back in 2012 as the second single from their debut album, Home, ‘Feel The Love’ sits comfortably at a cool 96 million views on YouTube alone. The track was destined to be a hit, fusing soulful vocals and melodies with tear-out drum and bass beats and blistering basslines. See how it was made below.

Finally, the artists talk about how this one track changed their lives and paved the way for them to become household names within both the underground electronic music scenes and the mainstream.
