KYBBA ANNOUNCES DEBUT ALBUM “HOW YOU BAD SUH” AND WORLD TOUR

DROPS EXPLOSIVE “BA BA BAD” REMIX WITH

RYAN CASTRO, SEAN PAUL & BUSY SIGNAL

KYBBA announces debut album “How You Bad Suh”, releases new remix of viral hit “Ba Ba Bad” with Ryan Castro, Sean Paul & Busy Signal, and unveils massive tour across Europe and North America.

 

KYBBA is coming in strong with a triple-threat takeover: the announcement of his highly anticipated debut album “How You Bad Suh”, the release of a star-studded remix to his viral hit “Ba Ba Bad”, and the launch of his biggest international tour to date.

 

Officially landing after summer 2025, “How You Bad Suh” marks a pivotal moment in KYBBA’s career – his first full-length project after years of building one of the most globally recognizable sounds in dancehall, Latin and urban electronic music. Known for pushing boundaries and bringing together artists from across cultures and continents, KYBBA’s debut album is set to be a genre-blending statement that captures the raw energy, rhythm and spirit of the global dancefloor.

As anticipation builds around the album, KYBBA unleashes the next evolution of his viral 2024 anthem “Ba Ba Bad” with an explosive remix featuring Colombian star Ryan Castro alongside dancehall legends and original collaborators Sean Paul and Busy Signal. Out now via Basshall Records, “Ba Ba Bad (Remix)” is already making waves as a major global crossover moment.

 

The remix was sparked by viral footage from KYBBA’s recent tour stop in Medellín, Colombia, where a clip of him performing the original “Ba Ba Bad” in La Comuna lit up social media, racking up over 25k hits in just three days. The electrifying crowd reaction caught the attention of Ryan Castro, who reached out immediately to collaborate. Within days, the remix was recorded between Medellín and Paris, capturing lightning in a bottle and uniting three cultures on one irresistible rhythm.

 

To celebrate the upcoming album and remix release, KYBBA has also announced his “How You Bad Suh” Album Tour, as he prepares to bring his electrifying stage presence to some of the  most iconic cities across North America and Europe. Kicking off in Montreal on September 17, the tour will include further headline dates in Toronto, New York, London, Frankfurt, Oslo, Copenhagen, Berlin, Vienna, Hamburg, Brussels, Cologne, Stuttgart, Munich, Zurich, Amsterdam, Barcelona and Madrid.

 

Having already performed at major festivals such as Tomorrowland, Parookaville, Rototom Sunsplash, Sziget, Mysteryland and more, KYBBA is now entering a new chapter – one defined by bold collaborations, global energy and a sound that continues to unite audiences across borders.

 

With over 100 million streams to his name and a dedicated international fanbase, KYBBA has carved out a unique space in the global music scene - and “How You Bad Suh” promises to be his most definitive statement yet.

KDYN UNVEILS REFLECTIVE NEW EP ‘FINDING PROMISE IN NEW FRONTIERS AND WONDERS’ VIA EMI!

South London’s genre-blurring producer, DJ, and multi-instrumentalist KDYN releases his most ambitious project to date, the emotionally rich and sonically expansive EP ‘Finding Promise In New Frontiers & Wonders’ via EMI.

Built over several years, the six-track EP is a time capsule of personal and creative growth. Fusing lush live instrumentation with gospel-infused synthwork, soul grooves, UKG energy, and chopped vocal samples, KDYN delivers a deeply textural and future-facing sound. The EP was entirely self-written, recorded, produced, mixed, and mastered in his fully built-out home studio.

“This EP sits somewhere between the electronic world and live musicianship - it’s textured, soulful, and built on real instruments, but with the energy and precision of electronic production,” KDYN explains. “It’s my first real attempt at fusing pop with funk, soul, gospel - all while keeping the creative direction sharp and artist-led. Most of these tracks were made two, even three years ago - but I knew they needed the right moment to be heard. This feels like just the beginning.”

His latest single “Feel This Way”, blends gospel chords with funk-driven bass and cinematic house production, capturing KDYN’s emotive storytelling and genre-spanning artistry. Previous single “Feel The Same” also made waves, landing no.3 on Spotify’s Fresh Finds Dance and receiving playlist support from Capital Dance, BBC Radio 1’s Rave-Up with Arielle Free, and BBC Introducing. The EP’s focus track, “I Just Want U,” is a bold, groove-led anthem rooted in soulful vocal samples and raw emotion, showcasing KDYN’s ability to straddle the intimate and the anthemic.

A true DIY force, KDYN runs his own label, Origins Inconclusive, while also earning early accolades from industry powerhouses. This year has seen him featured by DJ AG x Defected LIVE, championed by BBC Radio 1’s Jaguar, Sian Eleri, Jess Iszatt, and Abbie McCarthy, and named Rebecca Judd’s Ascending Artist on Apple Music 1.

Rooted in a musical upbringing steeped in UK garage, gospel, and soul, KDYN’s sound draws influence from Kaytranada, Cleo Sol, SAULT, Little Simz, James Blake, Jai Paul, and early Mura Masa. Fans of Fred again.., Tom Misch, Barry Can’t Swim, and House Gospel Choir will also find a natural resonance.

With Finding Promise In New Frontiers & Wonders, KDYN closes a formative chapter shaped by breakthroughs, experimentation, and self-belief. Now he steps boldly into a new era. It’s not just a reflection of where he’s been, but a confident signal of where he’s headed next.

Internationally acclaimed DJ, producer, and Marginalia label founder ELIF returns with ‘Praise The Sky’ a striking new EP co-produced with Berlin-based and fellow Turkish talent Predex on Frau Blau.

Born and raised in Istanbul and now based in Barcelona, ELIF has built an unstoppable global presence with her hypnotic, storytelling sets and meticulously crafted productions following her rise with live streamed sets on Twitch via BLOND:ISH’s Abracadabra, catapulting her to over 100 shows across 5 continents. From an early love of music and a background in architecture to managing indie bands in Turkey, ELIF’s journey into electronic music has been defined by relentless passion, creative integrity, and fearless self-reinvention. Her rise has earned her support from BBC Radio 1’s Pete Tong, KISS FM, Mixmag Asia, GROOVE, LA Weekly, and more, as well as a packed tour schedule at top clubs and festivals around the world.

Fuelled by a desire to uplift others, ELIF also took the next step in her career by launching her own label Marginalia back in 2023, providing a home for emerging artists around the world. “A lot of people were sending me amazing demos,” she says, “but didn’t have big profiles. I wanted to create a space where talent—not status—comes first.”

Meanwhile, collaborator Predex, formerly known as Ata Urküt, began his music career as a progressive metal and rock producer before gradually transitioning into electronic music. After several years performing in the UK across multiple genres, he returned to Turkey as the resident DJ and music director at NEU in Bursa. Now based in Berlin, Predex focuses on Melodic Techno, becoming a direction that’s already earned him international tour dates and growing support across the scene. His collaboration with ELIF marks a natural intersection of two artists with shared roots and forward-looking visions.

Adding further dimension to the release on remix duties, Rodriguez Jr. contributes a warm, analog-tinged reinterpretation with deep grooves and understated elegance. Ae:ther transforms the track into a lush, celestial journey, with each version standing on its own as a testament to the track’s emotional depth and sonic versatility.

As ELIF prepares to host her own OFF WEEK 2025 showcase in Barcelona as well as further collaborations with Predex on the horizon, “Praise The Sky” arrives as a clear signal of her ever-expanding influence. Not just as a performer and producer, but as a curator, mentor, and champion of new talent on the global stage
