David Ramano Continues His Exploration Of Afro & Melodic House With New ‘Time Loop EP’
David Ramano releases the Time Loop EP via his Omkara imprint, a three-track Afro and Melodic House journey rooted in rhythm, emotion, and reflection.
David Ramano, the London-born and now Dubai-based electronic artist and producer, continues his run of new music this year, with the release of the ‘Time Loop EP’ via his Omkara imprint. The three-track EP showcases a deeper and more conceptual step in his exploration of Afro and Melodic House, citing a new chapter in his personal evolution as an artist.
The ‘Time Loop’ EP is a reflection on the patterns that we move through and the moments we repeat, while pointing toward the awareness that allows us to move beyond them. Across each of the tracks, the EP unfolds as a journey that moves from rhythm and repetition into introspection and resolution.
The opening track, ‘Time Loop’, is a deep and hypnotic instrumental built for the dancefloor, driven by rolling Afro House percussion and evolving textures, focusing on presence over progression. The EP then shifts towards ‘Lost In The Waves’, a vocal-led piece that introduces a more emotive dimension, exploring surrender, trust, and the experience of letting go into the unknown. Closing the EP, ‘Never Look Back’ brings a feeling of clarity and forward motion, with a vocal that conveys quiet strength and release, capturing the decision to move on without attachment to the past.
The ‘Time Loop EP’ notes one of David’s most prolific runs of studio output to date, with a catalogue of music released on and forthcoming across labels including Enormous Tunes, Where The Heart Is, Vamos Music, Vamos Music Talents, Ostowana, Xpressed Records, Open Bar Music, and his own imprint, Omkara. This stream of releases reflects his ever-growing presence across the global Afro and Melodic House scene and his commitment to rhythm-driven electronic music rooted in emotion and cultural influence. His music continues to reach audiences worldwide, with new tour dates forthcoming, including a performance in Miami.
Raised in London’s diverse musical landscape, David’s sound is shaped by soulful harmonies, emotional storytelling, and the influence of underground dance culture. From the 1990s pirate radio scene to performances across the UK, Spain, Sweden, and Canada, his journey has been defined by authenticity and movement. As one half of the Deepologists, he developed an immersive approach to music that connects the physical and emotional sides of the dancefloor.
David’s work continues to receive strong support from international tastemakers, including Damian Lazarus, Themba, CamelPhat, Shimza, Artbat, Cosmic Gate, and Don Diablo. His track ‘Fall’ remains one of his most-streamed releases, combining Afro percussive energy with emotive melodies and surpassing 380,000 streams while featuring on key Spotify Afro House playlists. Across platforms, his catalogue has now exceeded 850,000 streams, with music reaching clubs, festivals, and radio shows worldwide.
Founded as a creative platform for forward-thinking Afro and Melodic House, Omkara serves as the home for David Ramano’s own releases. The label’s vision is centred on innovation, emotional depth, and rhythm-driven soundscapes that bridge tradition and modernity, drawing influence from African, Latin, and Eastern musical heritage.
With the ‘Time Loop EP’, David Ramano moves deeper into his artistic vision, delivering a body of work rooted in rhythm and emotion while already gaining early support from respected names including Damian Lazarus and Themba, signalling its impact across the global Afro and Melodic House community.

With Nirvana, both artists bring a direct trance entry into New EDM Friday Oct 9.
WÓTIE – Never Let You Go
WÓTIE turns a deeply personal story into Never Let You Go, a melodic dance and progressive house single. The song reflects his years-long separation from his daughter and the hope he held onto through that period. He wrote it in 2019 during a difficult time in Brazil, with lyrics drawn from loss, distance, and love. Musically, the track pairs warm male vocals, emotional piano, organic elements, and a euphoric drop. With Never Let You Go, WÓTIE brings one of the week’s most personal tracks into New EDM Friday Oct 9.
SKILAH – GOMF BUT LOUDER
SKILAH returns with GOMF BUT LOUDER, a tech house rework of her September single GOMF.

At 23, the Minnesota-born, Los Angeles-based artist has also passed 3 million followers across TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat.

Chase & Status – Generic Everything (album)
Chase & Status release Generic Everything, a 10-track album through 2RUFF Records and Warner Music UK.

It features J Hus, Little Simz, Skrillex, Giggs, D Double E, Blanco, IRAH, Col3trane, and more. One of its biggest moments is Essa Ta Quente, a Brazilian funk-leaning track with Skrillex. With Generic Everything, Chase & Status bring a full album into New EDM Friday Oct 9.
Dillon Francis, Oaks – Fall
Dillon Francis and Oaks release Fall, a melodic single out via Monstercat and Broke Records. The track centers on an expressive vocal topline, soaring melodies, and the feeling of finally letting go. Dillon Francis said the song was written for their significant others and came from a studio session where everyone was writing from the same place. It follows a major 2026 for Dillon Francis, including Stagecoach, the Impact Award at the EDM Awards, and the Dillstradamus co-headline tour with Flosstradamus. With Fall, Dillon Francis and Oaks add a more emotional dance release to New EDM Friday Oct 9.
Effin – Heartbeats (Album)
Effin presents Heartbeats, a 12-track album centered on love, memory, nostalgia, and detailed sampling. Across the project, the Nashville producer uses 1950s film dialogue, forgotten live recordings, jazz flutes, vocal manipulation, and vintage-inspired textures. The album follows his earlier singles What’s In Your Heart, Forever & Always, and Plus One, each giving a different part of the project’s emotional world. It also follows his biggest touring year so far, with appearances at Bonnaroo, Electric Forest, Lost Lands, Breakaway, VELD, and more.

Scottish producer BETH returns on The Cross Records with new single Wait, following a breakout 2026 of festival slots, Ibiza dates and Radio 1 support.
In the space of a year, BETH has gone from respected up and comer to a genuine festival act. Her debut on The Cross Records, “Keep It Movin’,” is closing in on 1 million streams, and she’s kept up a steady run of releases on labels like TSHA’s Jackfruit, Eats Everything’s Edible, and Melon Bomb Records, along with a well received remix of Karen Harding’s “Island.” That output has earned her support on BBC Radio 1, with plays from Sarah Story and Arielle Free.
Her live schedule has kept pace too. This year she’s played TRNSMT Festival, Sub Club, Cabaret Voltaire, and SWG3 in Scotland, Mas Que Nada in London, and Lakota in Bristol, plus Ibiza dates at Hï, Cova Santa, and Pikes.
“Wait” marks a step forward in her production. Where “Keep It Movin'” leaned into sultry, harmonic melodies, “Wait” goes bigger and brighter, built around euphoric piano chords, a driving 90s inspired break, and deep reese bass. It’s a feel good summer record from an artist whose rise shows no signs of slowing down.

The ever-evolving Deadlynoiz is back with another new single ‘Rock The House’ adding to his stacked 2026 repertoire.
Stepping into the world of bass house for this track, Deadlynoiz has produced a hugely impactful hit brimmed with his hallmark strengths. ‘Rock The House’ is a fantastic showcase of his ability to design and blend together a myriad of creative synths to deliver powerful soundscapes. The track keeps pumping from start to finish but is dynamic in its energy shifting from the more melodic verses to the aggressive, bass face inducing choruses. Deadlynoiz is consistently looking to evolve his productions and has leaned into more experimental territories here with emphatic results.
His development as an artist is evident from both his productions and his accolades as he’s attracted the attention of LVLD Music. He’s dropped a slew of hits with them and is continuing to develop their relationship with the release of ‘Rock The House’ on their label. Since it’s release the track has already raked in thousands of streams and he’s pushed onto releasing even more music in ‘Magic’ and ‘Block.’ Now bringing in over 20,000 streams a month on Spotify it’s clear that Deadlynoiz’s hard work is paying off as his fanbase continues to grow.
‘Rock The House’ is another step forward in Deadlynoiz’s evolution in sound and development as an artist. With every release he’s proving his abilities in the studio and with the rate he’s working at, there’s plenty more to come.
