London-based independent artist and producer VOS has released “My Ride or Die,” an Afro House track about friendship and chosen family.
The song is built around a steady groove, layered percussion and a recurring chorus, with lyrics centred on loyalty and the relationships that endure over time.
A music video accompanies the release, set against a rainy London night and featuring warm indoor scenes, reflective streets and a blue performance car. VOS appears in the video alongside a real-life friend.
VOS works across Afro House, Sahara House and Melodic House, handling writing, production, mixing, mastering and visual direction on his releases.
Arin Rebo has released “Oarfish Ascending,” a minimalist piano piece inspired by the Japanese folklore surrounding the oarfish, a deep-sea fish traditionally associated with omens of earthquakes.
The track approaches the legend from a quieter perspective, using piano to explore the idea of a messenger that is unaware of the meaning humans attach to its presence. The oarfish itself is indifferent to the earthquake, becoming a symbol of events unfolding beyond its understanding.
“Oarfish Ascending” follows Rebo’s previous single “The Shark and the Seagull,” continuing the artist’s use of ocean mythology as a source for musical ideas.
The artwork for the release was created by artist Kasia Fudakowski.
South African EDM producer Undertone has released a new single, “Feel Good.”
Released on August 28, the track runs at 125 BPM and is built around a short vocal sample, upbeat electronic production and prominent synth stabs. Undertone also increased the snare volume to give the drums more impact and reinforce the track’s dancefloor-oriented sound.
The producer says the track developed after finding a short sample with simple lyrics, which he used as the basis for a new production. He had also been working on an aggressive synth-stab idea and decided to incorporate it into the track.
“Feel Good” reflects Undertone’s approach to electronic music, combining contemporary EDM production with elements drawn from retro sounds.
Abrantie Simms and Ess Thee Legend have released “Finding My Rhythm EP 1,” a four-track project that draws from Highlife while incorporating contemporary Afrobeats, Soul, Afropop, Dancehall and Hip-Hop influences.
The EP opens with “Adwuma Wura,” a song centred on ambition and purpose, before moving into the more personal “Kanea,” which touches on friendship, love and relationships. “Way You Move,” featuring $pacely, brings a more contemporary feel, while “Testing Me (So Electric)” closes the project with a blend of soulful and genre-crossing elements.
The project brings together Abrantie’s Ghanaian musical perspective and Ess Thee Legend’s soulful vocal style across the four tracks. Rie Osei and Marince Omario also appear on the EP, alongside $pacely.
Rather than recreating an older Highlife sound, “Finding My Rhythm EP 1” places elements associated with the genre—including melody, storytelling and collaborative musicianship—within a contemporary setting.

Omar Jatta explores cultural identity, pride and freedom of expression on his new Afro House single “Alingandong.” The track calls on listeners to embrace where they come from while bringing together elements of Jatta’s Gambian and Senegalese roots with his experiences growing up in Germany and France.
Driven by an Afro House rhythm, “Alingandong” combines singing and rapping with a recurring “Alingandong! Let’s dance” refrain. The song reflects Jatta’s wider approach to music, which connects different roots, languages and lived experiences.
Jatta was born in Versailles and is part of the African diaspora, with his background spanning Gambia, Senegal, Germany and France. Since 2024, he has performed with his live band Where I’m From, a group of friends and artists whose work explores culture, home and different perspectives on belonging.
His recent career includes being named TuneCore’s Artist of the Year in 2023 and performing at Summerjam’s Greenstage in 2024 and 2025. In 2026, he received funding from Initiative Musik. He has also performed at Cosmo Festival and the Over-the-Border Festival in Bonn, alongside releases across two EPs.
On “Alingandong,” Jatta says: “My roots are also reflected in the sounds and languages I use once again. I am not a freedom fighter, but I am someone who has something to say. Our people should learn again to be proud of where they come from.”
“Alingandong” is the latest release ahead of Jatta’s forthcoming album, due October 2, 2026.
