    French DJ Replay Shares Afro House Single “Ray of Solar”

    French DJ and producer Replay returns with “Ray of Solar- A luminous electro build-up.

    The track introduces a subtle, almost hypnotic tension. Its textures unfold progressively, carried by a controlled groove that allows the energy to build naturally.

    This approach gives the piece a quality that feels both immediate and atmospheric.

    Blending Electro, House, and touches of Afro House, Ray of Solar draws a clear line: a sound that is accessible yet never simplistic.

    The Ken Okada Group ft. YOYOKA Releases Third Album ‘CROSSING OVER’ 

    The Ken Okada Group ft. YOYOKA proudly announces the release of their third studio album, CROSSING OVER, a bold and dynamic work that captures the band’s evolving sound at the intersection of jazz, funk, rock and global influences.

    Following a series of acclaimed live performances across the United States and Europe, including sold-out shows at SFJAZZ and appearances at major international festivals, CROSSING OVER represents both a musical milestone and a forward-looking statement from the band.

    The album features:

    Ken Okada – electric bass

    YOYOKA – drums

    Ben Torres – tenor sax

    Hristo Vitchev – guitar

    Murray Low – piano & keyboards

    Shido Soma – guitar (featured on “Oops My Bad”)

     The music is driven by Okada’s compositional vision, blending rhythmic sophistication with melodic storytelling. The presence of YOYOKA—whose global recognition as a young drumming phenomenon continues to grow—adds explosive energy and precision throughout the record.

    “CROSSING OVER is about pushing past predictability,” says Okada. “In jazz, that’s one of the biggest challenges. You have to break out of familiar patterns and go somewhere new. This album reflects that process—and how the band itself continues to shape where the music goes next.”
