The DJ released his second studio album, Loner, on July 11, 2025. The DJ talked about the album in an exclusive interview with Rolling Stone UK, talking about his writing process:
"As much as I love touring what I love more than anything is just writing music. Whenever I got the chance to get back into the studio, I just was so up for it that things just clicked quite quickly. I never really had the time to get into a rut of writing, because every time I had the chance to write, I was just buzzing to be doing it. It probably helped."
The DJ later talked about the title track of the album:
"How you title your songs is a really great way to be able to signpost to people what they’re about. It’s very intentional and it’s very important. The process of making the album took a lot of self-reflection and introspection. Whenever that happens, obviously you do think about the big things."
The DJ is the professional name of Joshua Spence Mainnie. The DJ released his debut album, When Will We Land?, on October 20, 2023. The album was nominated for the Mercury Prize.
