Every great track has a moment—a point where the artist’s vision, the label’s direction, and the dancefloor’s energy align perfectly. With his new single “Predictable,” Purple Palms, co-founder of Palmlands Records, has delivered exactly that kind of moment.
This release isn’t just another track for DJs to add to their playlists. It’s a statement. A bold sign of where Purple Palms is headed musically, and a signal of the evolution of the Palmlands sound. The track has already made a huge impact, breaking into the Top 20 of the Beatport Bass House Charts, a rare achievement for a label that thrives on underground energy rather than mainstream formulas.
With Predictable, Purple Palms proves that underground doesn’t mean unnoticed—it can dominate, resonate, and move crowds worldwide.
A Track That Bridges Genres
Purple Palms has always been known for crafting genre-fluid tracks that balance groove, power, and detail. Predictableis no exception. While rooted in Bass House, the single confidently pulls elements from Tech House and even raw, driving Techno, creating a dynamic, versatile sound.
What makes this track stand out is its restraint. It’s not about chasing fleeting trends or over-the-top drops. Instead, Predictable focuses on refining the Palmlands approach:
- Club-focused music that works when it counts, late at night, when the dancefloor is ready for something deeper, darker, and more powerful.
From the first kick, the track sets a hypnotic mood. The bassline rolls forward like a steady engine, the percussion stays tight and minimal, and subtle melodic details weave in and out, adding texture without overwhelming the groove. As the track builds, the energy rises naturally—perfect for that moment in a set when the crowd is locked in and the DJ is ready to push the vibe to the next level.
This careful balance is what makes Predictable so DJ-friendly. It’s not a one-trick pony; it’s a tool that skilled selectors can use to control the flow of their sets.
Why “Predictable” Hit the Beatport Charts
Landing in the Top 20 Bass House Charts on Beatport is no small feat, especially for an underground label like Palmlands Records. So why did Predictable connect so strongly with DJs and listeners?
Here are three key reasons:
1. A Unique Blend of Styles

2. Timing and Atmosphere
Purple Palms designed the track for that exact moment in a DJ set when energy needs to rise—but not explode out of nowhere. It’s a transition weapon, perfect for building anticipation without losing control. DJs have responded to this precision, and their support has fueled the track’s chart success.
3. A Label Co-Founder’s Statement
Whenever one of Palmlands’ founders releases music, it sends a message. Predictable reflects where the label is heading: energetic, driving music with real depth and craft. For fans and DJs, this context adds extra meaning to the track’s success.

Since its start, Palmlands has been committed to expanding sounds and discovering talent.

Designed for the Dancefloor
At its core, Predictable is about functionality and feeling. It’s designed for DJs who understand pacing, tension, and flow.
When dropped at the right moment, the track locks the crowd into a groove, gradually turning the energy dial upward. It’s not chaotic; it’s controlled.
