West African-born afro-house pioneer AMÉMÉ teams with GRAMMY-nominated artist Barney Bones for their brooding, yet epic new collaboration “Sweat,” out now via Insomniac Records. The track showcases both artists’ distinct styles through a moody afro-house foundation anchored by Bones’ nonchalant vocal musings and AMÉMÉ’s signature tribal percussion and sweltering atmospherics.
UK’s Darren Styles and Australia’s Toneshifterz joined forces on the first-ever hard dance cover of one of Zedd’s biggest hits – “Clarity.” Both have been playing various edits of the song in their sets for years already, but finally, after a lengthy process, the remake has been cleared for an official release.
VALÉ’s new track, “lightspeed,” builds on the experimental world of her last release, “vueltas,” but shifts into higher gear – a stuttery, upbeat, and charged song that’s true to its name.
It was produced by artist and producer Adrian Cota, who has collaborated with artists like Caloncho and Camila, among other successful Latin acts. The release is accompanied by an official video shot by Ron Dadon (Grace VanderWaal, EMELINE)
Christian Hip-hop artist Miles Minnick teamed up with Bay Area rap legend Keak Da Sneak for his latest track, “Bout Time”. This comes as Minnick announces he’s about to hit the road with fellow artist Lecrae for a nationwide tour. As Christian hip-hop gains more popularity, household names like Minnick are beginning to spark familiarity across genres. Not long ago, he joined forces with another Bay Area legend, E-40, to collaborate on a track.
Dutch emerging artist Ginton has a brand new release with African GRAMMY icons Richard Bona and Salif Keita for 2025’s reimagined version of their single “Kalabancoro”. It was originally released in 2003 during a time of war and unrest, and the title is a reference to the suburb of Bamako in Mali, where it was recorded. Ginton breathed fresh life into the song by injecting his unmistakable guitar work and Afro-Latin-house flair while honoring its narrative soul.
Ginton is a DJ, producer, and guitarist, and has co-produced for the likes of Drake, Ape Drums (Major Lazer), Rico Nasty, Gordo, and more.
