Afro House Anthem “GYAL,” is a cross-continental collaboration between London artist and curator Manu, Bermuda native DJ/producer Korie Minors, and Caribbean-born, now UK based artist Merchant.
The song has already earned early support from fellow artists like Francis Mercier, Kitty Amor, Alex Wann, Fiona Kraft, and others.
“This record is something that is truly unique and special to all of us as artists and to the genre of Afro House,” says Jamaican born Merchant.
“GYAL” represents the sonic evolution of a genre that’s exploded across the globe, by being forward but also rooted in the core of all of our cultures. Having the vocal be in patois is particularly special to me, not only because I am Jamaican, but because it also highlights Jamaica’s wide ranging cultural impact.”
The the track pairs layered percussion and deep, rolling basslines with an infectious Jamaican vocal hook—capturing the energy of a peak-hour Ibiza dancefloor with undeniable global appeal.
Manu shares that “this is a production that crosses genres, cultures, and styles.
With “GYAL” we created something original and we hope that it provides an experience people want to feel over and over.”
Manu is the founder of tastemaker label Klub Record and a champion of Afro House across Europe.
He’s built a following of over 200k fans, playing a pivotal role in bringing together dedicated fans and newcomers to Afro House, sharing a niche sound in a dependable and palatable way which everyone can identify with via the label and his Deep Sounds podcast.
Korie Minors has built an impressive career – not only curating events such as AfroJam, but also working and performing with brands and organizations such as Soho House, St. Regis, Bermudian Government and more.
Departing from his signature high-energy style, Remo dives into the world of emotional afro-house, offering a track that is as warm and hopeful as a midsummer sunset.
“Will Be OK” is a story of love that survives storms, doubts, and distance. Masha Tiss delivers a touching vocal performance, turning the message “We will be okay” into both a mantra and a promise.
Her lyrics speak to the universal human need for connection and reassurance.
With a slower tempo and laid-back groove, Remo’s production creates a space where feelings can breathe.
“This song is something new for me. I slowed things down, gave more space for emotion, and Masha brought in a raw honesty that took it to another level,” says DJ Remo.
“Will Be OK” stands as a powerful artistic bridge between Poland and Ukraine – a musical reminder that even in uncertain times, there is strength in unity, love, and shared sound.

The hip-swaying uplifting melodic techno track is part of his forthcoming double LP, a concept album steeped in the lore of the graphic novel series THE PANHARMONION CHRONICLES, also created and written by Henry Chebaane, the artist behind the LX8 (Life x Infinity) project.
The song “Ghosts of Sound” is the title of vol.2 in the graphic novel series, due to be published during Winter 2025 by Supanova Media. This second book and related songs follow on from the first novel TIMES OF LONDON, published in 2023.
THE PANHARMONION CHRONICLES narrate the story of Alex Campbell, a multi-cultural female music composer who struggles with a conflicted identity, a traumatic past and repressed supernatural abilities while fighting a violent supremacist cult through Time.
In the novel Ghosts of Sound, Alex – a DJ and EDM producer, travels back to the 19th century and uses electronic dance music to boost the courage of a community of immigrants fighting off a tyrannical imperialist power.
The novel is a blend of science-fiction, horror, and alternative history that invites questions about contemporary social issues; spiced by hints of humour, pop culture and references that will appeal to dance music lovers of all genres.
LX8 is the musical alias for French-British songwriter, artist, author and designer Henry Chebaane. Inspired by the example of film director John Carpenter who also produces music and comics, LX8 has started his own musical journey, and “Ghosts of Sound” was his debut single in 2023.
Since then, he has released several more tracks of dance music with a wide variety of melodic techno vibes.
A recent arrival on the EDM scene, LX8 music style defies easy description but can be summarised as a “sonic quest into the human consciousness and the nature of reality.” A fan of house and trance music of the last four decades, LX8 wants to keep these sounds alive and inclusive for a new generation of global listeners from all cultures.
As an award-winning multimedia storyteller, Henry Chebaane also produces and directs his own videos, often set in locations that he has designed himself.
His first graphic novel “The Panharmonion Chronicles: Times of London” was published in 2023 by Supanova Media and has become a cult thriller with electronic music fans. His next novel in the same series is “Ghosts of Sound”, which is also the title of a forthcoming double album.
The concept double LP is a sonic exploration of The Panharmonion Chronicles story and its speculative universe, blending euphoric music and melodic techno with dark cinema.
Meaning “sunshine” in Swahili, “Jua” perfectly encapsulates the essence of the track. Andrew Famous masterfully blends intricate melodies with pulsating Afro House rhythms, creating an immersive sonic experience that is both uplifting and deeply soulful.
“I wanted to create something that truly embodies the feeling of sunshine – that warmth, that energy, that undeniable sense of happiness,” says Andrew Famous. “‘Jua’ is my invitation to everyone to embrace the light, dance, and feel good this summer.”
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.

“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.
