When the Sunrise Hits and You’ve Got Zero Regrets — Blame It on the Drugs Has Arrived
Phat Suppli and pspsps have joined forces on Palmlands Records for one of the most energised Bass House releases of 2026. “Blame It on the Drugs” (Extended Mix) is out now, and it arrives like the last hour of a night that was never supposed to go this long — relentless, euphoric, and completely unapologetic.
This is a track built around a feeling most clubbers know intimately: meeting someone new at 4am, losing track of time, and surrendering entirely to the moment. That emotional core is baked into every element of the production, from the first beat to the very last bar.
Available now on Beatport, this is Palmlands Records doing exactly what it does best — delivering peak-time club music with real personality and real punch.
What “Blame It on the Drugs” Actually Sounds Like on a Dancefloor
The concept behind the track started with the vocals. Phat Suppli and pspsps knew early on that the energy in the vocal performance was exceptional — loaded with hype, heat, and genuine momentum. The production challenge became clear: build a world of synths powerful enough to match it.
The result is a Bass House track defined by synths that are, in Phat Suppli‘s own words, “unapologetically loud and in your face.” These aren’t subtle textures sitting politely in the mix. They push forward, stack pressure, and refuse to let the energy drop for even a second.
Beneath those synths lives the kind of groove that makes a dancefloor lock in. The low end is thick and driving, providing the foundation that gives the track its physicality — the reason bodies move instinctively when this one hits the speakers. It is a track that captures “the raw energy of those impulsive and wild nights where you see the sunrise,” and the production architecture reflects exactly that.
The Extended Mix format gives DJs the room they need to work with it properly — a proper build, a full release, and enough runway to let the crowd breathe before the energy comes crashing back in.
Phat Suppli: 25 Years of Dancefloor Intelligence Behind This Release
Phat Suppli is a DJ and producer from the West Midlands, UK, with over 25 years of international experience in the dance music industry. Previously releasing under the aliases Nina Wilde, WoNK, and Japwow, she has since focused sharply on her signature fusion of tech house and bass — a sound that carries the weight of real dancefloor experience in every decision.
Her catalogue spans releases on Farris Wheel, Blackhole Recordings, DnD, and Force Of Habit, with tracks that have accumulated over 600,000 streams. Multiple iTunes number 1 positions across various countries speak to the reach of her music far beyond the club circuit alone.
Support from artists including David Guetta, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Laidback Luke, Nicky Romero, and MistaJam has placed her music on stages and in sets across the USA, China, Australia, Canada, Greece, Dubai, and Germany, among many others.
In 2024, she co-launched Supplied Music, her own label dedicated to supporting emerging tech house and techno producers — a move that reflects a genuine investment in the scene, not just participation in it. 2026 has already brought discussions of new tours and further high-profile releases, of which “Blame It on the Drugs” is a clear opening statement.

How pspsps Went from Classical Piano to Back-to-Back Traxsource Number 1s
pspsps is the project of Toronto-based producer and DJ Mike Sheps — a classically trained pianist who picked up the guitar, formed a rock band, and eventually found his true calling in electronic music production. When his bandmates left for university, he turned that creative void into a complete immersion in beat-making and sound design, taking on every role: drummer, bassist, vocalist, synth designer.
The pspsps project launched in 2024 and broke through with remarkable speed. His debut EP on This Ain’t Bristol, Tengo Sed / Upside Down, landed in the Beatport Top 10 for January 2025 and earned Beatportal editorial coverage as one of the label’s strongest releases of that period. The momentum didn’t stop there.
“Freak Out” on This Ain’t Bristol hit #1 on the Traxsource Tech House chart. Shortly after, “Hey Baby” on Data Transmission’s dt weapons also reached #1 on the Traxsource Tech House chart — two chart-toppers in the same year, on two different respected labels.
Live, the reputation is just as strong. From a headline set at Shake Your Buoy — Canada’s largest lake party — to his official Amsterdam Dance Event debut, pspsps has demonstrated the ability to command major stages and unconventional spaces with equal confidence. His viral underground rave set on Toronto’s subway system reached tens of millions of views worldwide and announced him as a producer with genuine cultural reach.
Support has come from Don Diablo, Sidepiece, Richie Hawtin, Shiba San, Sam Divine, Gene Farris, Dr. Fresch, and many more — a list that spans the full spectrum of house music’s most discerning ears.
His label footprint is equally wide: Hood Politics, This Ain’t Bristol, Uprise Music, Slothacid, Cartel Collective, Palmlands Records, dt weapons, Liftoff, and a growing list of others. “Blame It on the Drugs” sees him return to Palmlands, a label that clearly suits the bold, peak-time energy he delivers.
Why This Collaboration Between Phat Suppli and pspsps Makes Complete Sense
On paper, the pairing looks logical: a West Midlands veteran with 25 years of international dancefloor instinct meets a Toronto-based chart-breaker whose classical musical training shows up in every layered production decision. In practice, it sounds like exactly the kind of track that neither artist would have made alone.
Phat Suppli brings the lived experience — an understanding of how energy builds across a long night and what a crowd needs at that critical hour before sunrise. pspsps brings the technical architecture and an ear for vocal hooks that stick. Together, they’ve built something that is simultaneously emotionally resonant and physically overwhelming in the best possible way.
The concept itself — the impulsive wildness of losing track of time, the reckless joy of meeting someone new in a club at 3am — is one that both artists clearly understand on a personal level. That authenticity is audible. This isn’t a track made to sound like a feeling. It is the feeling.
Built for DJ Sets: Download “Blame It on the Drugs” on Beatport Now
For DJs, this is a straightforward decision. “Blame It on the Drugs” by Phat Suppli and pspsps is built for the moments that define a set — the peak-time window where the right track creates a memory that outlasts the night itself. The synths hit hard enough to cut through any sound system, the groove locks a dancefloor in, and the vocal energy does the rest.
It works in the build-up. It works at the peak. It carries enough momentum to bridge into whatever comes next without losing the crowd. That versatility is rare in a Bass House track this aggressive, and it is one of the reasons this release stands out in a crowded field.
The track is available on Beatport now as an Extended Mix, giving DJs the full format they need to integrate it properly. Whether you’re playing a festival main stage, a dark basement club, or a late-night after-hours set, this one has a place in your bag.
