MASSUMA HONORS MALIAN HERITAGE IN HIS NEW SINGLE SIKASSO ON MOBLACK RECORDS

London-based DJ and producer Massuma releases his highly anticipated new single Sikasso, featuring legendary Malian singer Nahawa Doumbia, via MoBlack Records. Blending traditional Malian vocals with hypnotic percussion and warm Afro house rhythms, the track stands as both a tribute and a bridge between generations of African music.

Named after Nahawa Doumbia’s hometown in southern Mali, Sikasso pays homage to her roots while reflecting Massuma’s evolving sound where ancestral rhythm meets modern electronic energy. The collaboration brings together two worlds: Nahawa Doumbia’s powerful voice, steeped in cultural and emotional resonance, and Massuma’s signature groove-forward production that continues to shape his identity within the Afro house scene.

“Working on this track was deeply inspiring,” says Massuma. “Nahawa’s voice carries the spirit of Mali, and I wanted the production to let that shine through. Sikasso is a celebration of heritage, connection, and rhythm.”

Building on the momentum of his breakout debut Contesto, which surpassed 2 million streams, topped Afro House charts, and earned support from Carlita, Keinemusik, Amémé, and Shimza, Sikasso signals the next evolution of Massuma’s sound. Out now on MoBlack Records, a label renowned for embracing global Afro house, the release reinforces Massuma’s place as a rising voice driving the genre with authenticity and soul.

Massuma is a London-based DJ and producer making waves in the Afro House scene. Formerly known as Sam Savage, he first built his name as a hip hop DJ, performing alongside artists like A$AP Rocky, Future, and Travis Scott. Now returning with a new musical direction under the Massuma moniker, he blends hypnotic percussion, warm vocal textures, and groove-heavy rhythms into a signature Afro House sound.

His debut single Contesto, a collaboration with DOSAMIS, was released in July 2025 via VOD and quickly gained traction. The track reached over 1 million streams in less than two weeks, hit #2 on the Beatport Afro House chart, and peaked at #6 on the Beatport main chart. It also became the #1 trending audio on Instagram Reels and received early support from Rampa, &ME, Adam Port, Amémé, Carlita, and Shimza.

With a strong start and more music on the way, Massuma is establishing himself as one to watch in global dance music.

HEYZ AND WODD UNITE IN CLASSIC RETRO BASS PARTY TUNE ‘SEXY BACK” ON KANNIBALEN RECORDS

Viral bass innovator HEYZ has joined forces with retro-inspired producer WODD for a bold reimagining of Justin Timberlake’s classic “Sexy Back” delivering a bass-fueled anthem set to drop October 22nd on Kannibalen Records. The track injects the original’s swagger with a modern edge, packed with punchy stabs, a wonky minimal drop, and a rumbling low-end built to shake festival grounds worldwide.

“ Wodd is honestly one of my favorite producers right now so it was really fun to work on this sexy whomper stomper of a track with him. It hits so so hard live, and I know people have been after it for a while, so we're stoked to finally release it!”

-      HEYZ

Fusing HEYZ’s explosive bass energy with WODD’s genre-bending creativity, “Sexy Back” collides riddim grit and dubstep power with a futuristic edge. The result is a slick, high-impact rework that perfectly captures the duo’s shared vision of pushing bass music into bold new territory.

“"I’ve always wanted to twist this track into something wild and wobbly, and teaming up with Heyz on this one was perfect. We went all out, made it totally our own, but still gave mad respect to the original. Honestly, this remix feels fresh, weird, and exactly what it needs to be.”

-      WODD

The release comes on the heels of one of HEYZ’s most ambitious milestones yet: his headlining debut at Denver’s legendary Ogden Theatre on March 14th, 2025. That night will mark the launch of LASER CAGE, a one-of-a-kind spectacle featuring one of the most elaborate laser productions the venue has ever seen. Determined to deliver a truly unforgettable experience, HEYZ is investing his own life savings into creating a night rooted in community, dubstep, and his lifelong passion for lasers. The lineup promises just as much excitement, with support from Black Carl!, a surprise back-to-back set with Wiley, and a special opening performance to set the tone.

Musically, HEYZ continues to break new ground. His latest project, the HEYZ’d and Confused EP, has already surpassed 750,000 streams across platforms, capturing the playful chaos and forward-thinking sound design that define his live performances. With standout appearances at major festivals such as Lost Lands and a steadily expanding discography, HEYZ has quickly established himself as one of the most compelling and fast-rising talents in bass music.

The timing couldn’t be better. Alongside the “Sexy Back” release, HEYZ will hit the road this August for a massive 30+ date North American headline tour, with marquee stops at North Coast, Dancefestopia, and Lost Lands. Dubbed the “HEYZ’d and Confused” Tour, the run promises a fully immersive experience that blends his hard-hitting basslines with fresh visuals, unexpected twists, and the unfiltered energy fans have come to love.

THEO NASA JOINS KNTXT WITH RAW, DEEP ‘LIFELINE’ FOUR-TRACKER

South London-based DJ, producer, vocalist Theo Nasa debuts on Charlotte de Witte’s prestigious RPM by KNTXTlabel with his four-track ‘four flavours’ off-world techno EP ‘Lifeline’, out October 23rd. 
 
Says Charlotte, ‘After having invited Theo for some KNTXT events in London [Drumsheds, Printworks] and Amsterdam [ADE], we kept in touch. His style ventures into a type of raw, deep techno that I adore. Proper loopy club stuff. I'm very excited to present his first EP on KNTXT and who knows what else is on the horizon…’
 
As well as KNTXT events, Theo Nasa’s graced other iconic electronic strongholds, inc. Creamfields, fabric, HÖR, Boiler Room…, while his own label Alien Sound Trax showcases his meticulously crafted productions. His sound was founded on the Jungle and D&B of his 90s London youth and early 00s Grime.

Says Theo, ‘For this EP, I wanted to create something that hasn’t been done on the KNTXT label yet. Four tracks with totally different flavours of electronic music taking inspiration from all walks of my personal lifestyle. There is something for everyone on every track I have made here, plus the attention to detail on all tracks is something that you will instantly gravitate to.’
 
‘Acid Will Never Die’: a relentless, teeth-fizzing acid-drenched riff/phrase drills through fast, rattling percussion, punctuated by random doppler hoover swoops. Compulsively brain-invading. ‘Attention’: a futuristic vibe - racing beats with hi-hats galore in the backbeats, a spoken robotic title and sinister fuzzy vocal stabs creating a dystopian sci-fi soundscape. ‘XTASE’: elasticated pattering percussion with an offset ‘car horn’ FX note pattern throughout, later answered by high stabs like robot gull cries. Mysterious and otherworldly.  ‘Lifeline (Dying In The 21st Century): a swift tapping beat carries an ‘acid piano’ tune fragment, while an engaging spoken vocal warns ‘all of us are going to die in the 21st century’ which will be a ‘trainwreck’ unless action is taken. Food for thought while raving. 
 
Track List: 

1. Acid Will Never Die

2. Attention

3. XTASE

4. Lifeline (Dying In The 21st Century)
