When the Bass Drops, the Room Answers
Some records ask for your attention. How Ya Like It by Cizzzla simply takes it. The new Bass House single from the London-based producer and vocalist lands on Palmlands Records as one of the most focused, most energised club cuts the label has released in 2026 — and with over 1 Million streams already on Spotify, the crowd has already given its verdict. This is Bass House that works from the very first four-count: direct, high-impact, and built with dancefloor purpose at its core.
Palmlands Records continues to build its catalogue of club-ready Bass House and Tech House music, and How Ya Like It fits the label’s ethos perfectly. Punchy kicks, crispy percussion, strong low-end and a vocal hook that lodges itself deep in the mix — this is the Palmlands sound operating at full momentum.
Low-End Architecture: What Makes How Ya Like It Work on a Sound System
Cizzzla‘s production approach has always centred on the relationship between bass and rhythm, and How Ya Like It demonstrates exactly why that focus pays off at volume. The track is built around a driving low-end that doesn’t overstate itself — it moves, it breathes, it locks the groove into place without ever sitting too heavy. The percussive elements are tight and deliberate, creating that sense of forward momentum that separates a good club track from a great one.
What gives the record its real identity is Cizzzla‘s own vocal, woven into the production rather than layered on top of it. His signature choppy delivery — honed across years performing live — adds texture, attitude and a distinctly human energy to the arrangement. It’s a stylistic choice that elevates the track beyond a standard Bass House construction and into something that feels genuinely alive. When the drop lands, it doesn’t just hit the kick — it hits the crowd.
From Pirate Radio to Beatport: The Cizzzla Story
Very few producers active in Bass House today can point to a background as deeply rooted in UK underground culture as Cizzzla. Growing up surrounded by Acid music, Jungle MCs and Rave anthems, he was writing his own lyrics by the age of 13 and became a regular on local pirate radio stations shortly after. As a teenager he joined London’s iconic 103 Delight FM and Rinse FM — two of the most respected stations in the UK’s underground scene — performing under the alias MC EKO.
From there, his reputation grew quickly. He performed internationally at venues including the Gas Club and Black & White in Ayia Napa, and played major UK events such as Garage Nation and Sidewindah, sharing stages with Dizzee Rascal, EZ, Major Ace, So Solid Crew and The Heartless Crew. By any measure, he earned his standing as one of the UK’s most respected underground UKG MCs before pivoting his energy into production.
The transition into Tech House and Bass House production brought a new dimension to his artistry. Influenced by the approaches of James Hype, Skrillex and Chris Lake, his style is defined by high-energy percussion, choppy vocals and a bass-focused production philosophy that carries the directness and urgency of his MC roots directly into the club context. He has since performed at Ministry of Sound and the New Work Festival, received BBC Radio 1 Pick of the Week recognition, and earned ongoing airplay support from BBC Introducing and Radio 1 — with DJ support from the likes of Chris Lorenzo and Tini Gessler. His releases have reached multiple Beatport Top 100 positions, and How Ya Like It continues that upward trajectory.
Load It Up: How Ya Like It in Your DJ Set
For DJs working Bass House or Tech House sets in 2026, How Ya Like It fills a specific and valuable slot.

Whether you are transitioning out of something heavier or building into the final act of a set, this record has the flexibility and the energy to deliver.
The vocal element also makes it a standout in a DJ mix.
