Following the Afro-dance vibrancy of his single Worami, Belgium-based producer Lynvy returns with a dynamic new take on French artist Ocin J’s emotive track Alive, originally released on March 1, 2024, by French label Orange Machine.
Now reimagined through the lens of liquid Drum and Bass, Alive (Lynvy Remix) marks Lynvy’s first official remix—and a milestone moment in his journey as a music producer.
”I wanted to explore something completely new,” says Lynvy. “I’d been drawn to the emotional intensity of liquid DnB for a while, and Alive had that perfect core energy I felt I could evolve into something hopeful yet driving.”
The remix stays true to Ocin J’s evocative original while adding Lynvy’s signature touch: a Reese bassline, distorted lead, and classic break-driven drums that bring both movement and melodic warmth. Clocking in at 2 minutes and 45 seconds, the remix finds the sweet spot between radio-ready accessibility and underground energy.
”It’s exciting to see Alive take on a new life in the DnB space,” adds Ocin J. “Lynvy’s remix adds a completely different energy while staying emotionally true. That’s what a great remix does—it transforms without betraying.”
The remix came to life through Music We Trust, the artist collective co-founded by Lynvy and home to both emerging and established names in the electronic scene. “Music We Trust isn’t just a name—it’s a belief in the power of community,” explains Lynvy. “The connection with Ocin J happened through the collective, and it really embodies the spirit of creative collaboration we’re trying to foster.”
With over 200,000 total plays across platforms like Boomplay and Audiomack, Lynvy is quickly making his mark in the electronic music scene. This new remix fits seamlessly into genres such as liquid Drum and Bass, melodic electronic, and emotional DnB, appealing to listeners who enjoy immersive and genre-crossing productions.
“I spent weeks experimenting with different bass textures and atmospheric layers,” says Lynvy. “The hardest part was modernizing the sound without losing the soul of the original. The Reese bassline brought urgency, but I made sure to balance that with warmth and space.”

Afrobeats artist Adebayo Adiamo, popularly known as 3A’s, has released a new album titled “Honey Baby.”
This album features four tracks that showcase Adebayo’s diverse musical talents and cultural influences.
The first one, “My African Queen,” like 2 Baba’s 2004 hit of the same name, celebrates the beauty and richness of African culture, paying tribute to the inspirational women who embody its essence.
The second track, “Honey Baby,” highlights Adebayo’s ability to sing fluently in three languages: English, Spanish, and his native tongue.
This linguistic versatility stems from his ten years of experience living and studying in Spain, where he earned two master’s degrees in Business Innovation and Technology Management, as well as Tourism Management from the esteemed University of Girona.
During his time in Spain, Adebayo seamlessly blended his academic pursuits with his passion for music.
In 2010, he was accepted into a PhD program in Law and Tourism Management, during which he collaborated with the Research Group at European Manufacturing Spain and published a scholarly article. This academic journey and professional experience have profoundly shaped his artistry and approach to music.
The title track, “Koboko,” is the third track, serves as a poignant anthem that addresses the alarming trend of ignorance permeating various communities. It highlights the disturbing belief that taking the life of another human being is a pathway to financial gain. With powerful lyrics and a captivating melody, “Koboko” aims to spark conversations about morality, empathy, and the dire consequences of such misguided beliefs.
The fourth track on the album provides an intimate glimpse into Adebayo’s life experiences.
Titled [Destiny], it narrates the personal struggle between familial expectations and the pursuit of passion. Adebayo reflects on his mother’s dream for them to complete a PhD program, ultimately choosing to devote his life to music instead. This choice, perceived as a waste of time by some, reveals the artist’s dedication to his music and the importance of following one’s own path.
“I wanted to create an album that not only reflects my personal journey but also connects with listeners on multiple levels,” said Adebayo Adiamo. “Each song tells a story, and I aimed to incorporate different cultural elements and languages to reach a broader audience.”
Listen to “Honey Baby”
With “Honey Baby,” Adebayo Adiamo invites fans to explore his musical landscape, filled with vibrant melodies and heartfelt lyrics. The album is now available on all major digital platforms, allowing music lovers everywhere to enjoy the unique fusion of sounds and stories.
South Korean electronic artist Senior Dunce has released a brand new single titled “City Centre”, marking the official start of his artistic journey under this moniker.
Unlike his earlier melancholic works, this track is a vibrant, energetic dance number layered with nostalgia, rhythm, and identity.
The inspiration behind the title “City Centre” comes from his time living in Liverpool, UK. As a foreigner unfamiliar with the correct pronunciation, Senior Dunce mistakenly pronounced it “cent- ray” instead of the British “centre.” Rather than mocking him, his local Scouser friends embraced the mispronunciation and even adopted it themselves in solidarity — pointing out how even native Brits struggle to understand the thick Scouse dialect.
“Those were the days I felt completely lost yet deeply cared for,” says Senior Dunce. “I couldn’t sleep many nights, overwhelmed by my outsider identity. But my friends helped me feel seen — and that feeling is immortalized in this track.”
The music video for “City Centre” was produced by Muturn, a Korean dancer and video creator who has long collaborated with Senior Dunce. Though unaware of the song’s full lyrical meaning, Muturn resonated with the emotional energy of the track. Inspired by his own party-performance projects, he developed a unique visual interpretation that blends movement and atmosphere in ways that complement the music’s heartbeat.
