A blend of reggae and electronic music, the track was released under Circus Records – one of the world’s most influential dubstep labels, founded by Flux Pavilion and Doctor P.
It blends Layne Tadesse’s soulful reggae vocals with HVRCRFT’s signature festival-ready bass, delivering a fresh, genre-blurring sound.

South African Afro House DJ Dubby G releases his latest single “She Walks Into the Night,” an atmospheric AfroTech House journey blending deep tribal rhythms with moody melodic synths and soul-stirring vocals.
Inspired by the mystery and resilience of women who find strength in solitude, “She Walks Into the Night” narrates a cinematic soundscape – where the darkness becomes a dancefloor and silence speaks through basslines.
“This track is about transformation,” says DJ Dubby G. “It celebrates those moments when you walk alone but feel more alive than ever – like the night is your stage, and the beat is your voice.”
Building on the momentum of previous successful releases like “Ngithanda Wena” and “Runaway Train,” DJ Dubby G continues to push AfroHouse boundaries with a futuristic tech twist.

Known for her for her soft, radiant presence and pop-soul ballads, French singer Maëva Fischer returns where no one expected: “Hold On”, a sensual, raw, and magnetic fusion of Afrobeats and Amapiano.
The pianist’s and songwriter’s release features four original songs and a fresh take on a Jim Croce classic.
Horton is releasing one song a month from the EP, starting in April, with the last song being released in August.
Leading the EP is Set “Me Free”, a song born from personal transformation and letting go. “I’m grateful for my divorce,” Horton says. “Without it, I’d never have written “Set Me Free”, which is about loving someone enough to let them go.”
Next comes the upbeat, pop-country anthem “String Around My Finger”, the tale of a songwriter choosing love over Nashville. Horton nods to his musical heroes in the lyrics: “I’m playin’ covers at ol’ Joe’s every Wednesday night / Elton John, Johnny Cash, and a little John Prine.”
The EP also includes “Operator”, a reimagined version of Jim Croce’s 1972 classic. “As a songwriter, I never thought I’d cover someone else,” Horton says, “but I wanted to bring something new to this song.”
“Never Know Why” is a passionate duet with Vesper Stockwell, Horton’s musical collaborator and partner. The EP closes with a reworked version of Space and Time, Horton’s 2023 single about someone asking for space as a way of ending a relationship.
Imperfections follows The Tokyo Sessions, a four-song EP of Japanese music written by Horton, who is bilingual, while living in Tokyo. That project will be promoted in Japan starting in mid-2025.
