    American Producer Lusinate Shares First Bass Single “Truth Hz”, Inspired by a Real Life Toxic Relationship 

    American Producer Lusinate steps into darker territory with the release of a new single “Truth Hz”

    A contemporary dubstep track, “Truth Hz” (pronounced Truth Hurts) marks the first bass-focused release in Lusinate’s catalog. 

    The record was inspired by a personal experience—capturing the difficult process of breaking free from a toxic relationship and reclaiming your peace.

    “This record came from a very real place in my life,” says Lusinate. “It’s about severing a deep soul tie you have with someone because they are hurting you. Sometimes when you’re in love you stay for reasons that go beyond any sort of logic. However, if you love yourself then there comes a point when you know what must be done no matter how painful it is. That was the inspiration behind the title.”

    “Truth Hz” was mixed and mastered by Luca Pretolesi, the four-time Grammy-nominated engineer behind countless global dance records, at Studio DMI inside Wynn Las Vegas. 

    “Truth Hz” by Lusinate is out now on all streaming platforms.

  • Ghanaian- German Artist Giddens Shares New Single “We No Dey Play” off his Forthcoming Concept Album ‘FTM’

    Ghanaian- German Artist Giddens Shares New Single “We No Dey Play” off his Forthcoming Concept Album ‘FTM’

    Berlin-based artist Giddens returns with his new single “We No Play,” the first entry point into his upcoming concept album FTM.

    “We No Play” is positioned as a defining statement rather than a standalone release. 

    The track captures cycles of pressure, resilience, and forward motion, introducing the central idea behind the album: that constant adaptation can sustain you, but also gradually dissolve a stable sense of self.

    Rooted in experiences between Berlin and Accra, the single reflects themes of identity under pressure, emotional endurance, and the tension between self-preservation and belonging.

    FTM builds on this foundation as a concept-driven project exploring fragmentation, diaspora, and emotional survival. Instead of a linear narrative, the album unfolds through layered fragments—like memory being continuously rewritten—mirroring the instability and repetition that shape modern identity.

    “We No Dey Play” by Giddens is out now on all streaming platforms.
