Topic, Shizma & A7S

Topic is a famous DJ and producer known for his dance music that boasts billions of streams and multiple gold, platinum, and diamond certifications. He became well-known with his 2019 hit “Breaking Me” featuring A7S, which has over 6 billion streams. In July 2024, he released “I Adore You,” which topped the Afro House charts and was a leading global dance track. Topic also started his label and party series, WILD KID, promoting artistic freedom in electronic music. 

Shimza is recognized for Kunye, which promotes African electronic music globally. He is celebrated for his Afro-tech sound and collaborations with artists like Rachel Chinouriri. Shimza has launched a residency at Pacha Ibiza, returning for six Thursdays with special guests. His track “Fire Fire” continues to gain popularity, amassing over 75 million streams. 

A7S, a Swedish producer, is known for consistent hits, having transitioned to creating music independently. With more than 2 billion streams, his successful tracks include “Breaking Me” and “Your Love (9PM),” cementing his status in electronic music.

Few would have predicted Topic and Shimza in the same studio – and that’s exactly why “Missing You” lands as one of 2026’s most unexpected dance crossovers. Released on March 13 as a joint release between Helix Records and Universal Germany, the single marks Topic‘s first release of 2026 and brings the signature touch of a multi-platinum, radio-shaping hitmaker whose emotionally driven dance productions have become a benchmark for modern mainstream dance into conversation with Shimza‘s pioneering Afro-tech perspective. Long celebrated not only for shaping the genre’s forward edge but also for championing and amplifying Afro culture through his Kunye universe, Shimza continues a hot stream of Helix-linked releases – and takes it up a level with one of his most notable link-ups to date, ahead of bringing his Shimza&Co concept to Miami during Miami Music Week. Completing the triangle is A7S, the unmistakable voice behind global hits like “Breaking Me” and “Your Love (9PM)”, delivering the emotional centre to a record that bridges peak-time impact and late-night tension. With all three artists operating at the forefront of their lanes, “Missing You” is not a one-off moment – Topic and Shimza are already deep into further projects set to surface later in 2026.

Frankyeffe – Out Of This World EP

Tim Stark

Frankyeffe’s calling it an “EP”, though others might argue it’s closer to a full album. Either way, ‘Out Of This World’ makes one thing abundantly clear: when it comes to midnight studio oil and full-throated clubland firepower, Italy’s Francesco Fava’s not a man to do things by halves. Fresh from his ‘One More Night’ outing […]

Push – Known Universe

Tim Stark

This summer, Push returns to the album format with ‘Known Universe’ – the eighth longplayer in his eminent career. That ‘known universe’ specifically is the hardware-driven studio world that shaped his earliest work.

Waking Up In A Northern Town by Christian Burns
