been a huge fan of this record for a while, so when a friend sent me the amazing cannons 'stuck on you' vocal, I knew exactly where to look... and teenage crime has always made me feel a way still, so this is the result.

there's an afrohouse/bond pun somewhere in here, but I'm gonna just leave it at that

I'll be honest, just means you're lazy

✌️back to reality, studio time aplenty this week let’s finish these originals for next yt ya diggggg ⛷️🎄

if you're on social media (esp tiktok) you cannot escape this song by and for good reason..it s an insanely relaxed track that still makes you want to groove throughout... so I went through my library of AH songs and found one of the first records I ever downloaded by and ... they fit super well together and the instrumental doesnt really have hills or valleys it just keeps vibing throughout much like.....confidence, so boom here we have it.

(link in bio) have always wanted to do an edit with bad bunny & 'monaco' felt absolutely right...afro house being huge in places like monaco really got me thinking how I could combine the latino & ah elements to make a track that was adhesive and inclusive of both cultures + unique to my sound...all while still hailing the caribbean..this is the result.

heartwarming vibes of the CLASSIC record ’It Feels So Good' fused with the AH enchantment of 'Speed Up' by , , and …this edit is a piece of my soul – it'll make you dance, feel, and feel di grooves you zimi1⁠

(link in bio) having the emotional vocals from Elle King & the solemn but amazing message of the original + having this emotional Afro House instrumental under it makes you 'happily sad’ if I were to try to describe it, SO....⁠
⁠
As we come out of summer and the vibes start to change from just partying to more introspective, more producers and writers start to head into their little production and writing ‘caves’ to produce the hits that we all love in the spring and summer, I wanted to put out an edit that Feels a little more emotional ,but still makes you FEEL…⁠

(link in bio) an afrohouse chune with a classic of the caribbean. When I heard both of these records together, it gave me chills becuase of how perfectly they fit together instantly, and then working on it more, taking some parts in and out to match the atmosphere of the instrumental by Tayllor, Auguste & Kasango made it feel like a complete edit that can be played at venues in myk, nyc, sxm & stp but also in your bedroom/house party. Hope you all enjoy, big up!⁠

(link in bio) is out now! I promised a storytime in my last post so here it is:

We cut the vocals with Elephant Man for this 5 years ago in 2018, when I was living in Miami..the record actually started as a moombahton track, but after going back and forth with + + the sound changing, we spent about 6 months this past year going back and forth trying to find a unique combination of all of our styles. I think this was like version 46, but we finally dialed it in enough and everyone was happy with what came out. I have a bit more NSFW details about how I had to get this vocal but we will save that for the show interview...love you all and I hope you enjoy this as much as we enjoyed making it...

being an artist is a patient journey through doubt and inspiration, pretty much embracing uncertainty with open arms, every single day in the hope that we find not only our art, but ourselves at the same time

confirmed today after my that Red Bull does NOT, in fact, give you wings … didn’t help that it’s 105 degrees rn either 🥵 brb gonna go 💤 for 20 hours, BUT new music otw next week on 🎶🤝🏾📿🕺

23/08/2023

After having the opportunity to tour alongside my brother on the US tour and seeing/feeling the vibes of the festival, I am so inspired! I decided to make this edit because it represents two cultures that are very dear to me: afrobeats, because of my Jamaican roots (which ultimately are African) and country, because I live part-time in Nashville. I hope you all enjoy this genre blending edit…expect many more from the merchant camp…

one love,

iNi Kamoze is already a legendary name that the roots reggae scene knows & the hip-hop remix of the #1990 track topped charts worldwide... tbh this song has been playing in my house for as long as I can remember. Timanti & Nomvula SA had an already incredible track with 'Warrior', and the energies of both that had love, trystic vibes and an aura of happiness that brought me to this being an edit that I love (+I have played this maybe 100 times in my studio all day) so I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do.

One Love,
