Jauz Teams Up With Singer-Songwriter HALIENE On New Monstercat Single ‘Oceans & Galaxies’!
Nearly five years after his last release on Monstercat, DJ, producer and Bite This! label boss, Jauz returns with a stunning new single alongside another Monstercat favourite singer-songwriter, HALIENE. Out today, their collaborative track “Oceans & Galaxies” is an ode to the unspoken connection that exists between us and the ones we love. HALIENE’s ethereal vocals promise that no matter the distance, we’re all looking at the same stars, with the solace of nature bringing us together.
Jauz shares, “I’ve been a fan of HALIENE’s for so long, and had wanted to write a song with her forever. We had never actually met until this year, and in true 2020 fashion, it was because we were both streaming weekly on Twitch. We wrote the song together on one of my streams and the way it came together was so effortless. “Oceans and Galaxies” is something that still feels like a JAUZ song, but that fans are looking forward to hearing during a live show not because they want to headbang but because they want to sing along to the chorus.”
HALIENE adds, “Oceans & Galaxies” was written at the start of the pandemic, when so many people were feeling so distant from the ones they cared about. I wrote these lyrics to remind us all that love knows no distance, and even 10,000 miles will never be too far. Working with JAUZ has been an absolute joy and honor, and he’s one of the nicest and most real producers out there. We’ve put our heart and souls into this one for all of you, and we can’t wait for you to experience it.”
In celebration of Earth Day on April 22, Jauz and HALIENE will take to Monstercat’s Twitch channel to host a charity livestream benefiting the non-profit organization, Beneath The Waves. Dedicated to promoting ocean health and using science to catalyze ocean policy, Beneath The Waves is uniquely focused on shark conservation and marine protected areas. During the event, Jauz and HALIENE will premiere an acoustic performance of “Oceans & Galaxies,” followed by a live art stream by Monstercat artist Amanda Cha, educational interviews on ocean conservation with Dr. Austin Gallagher (Chief Executive & Lead Scientist at Beneath The Waves), and more.
Austin shares, “We are thrilled for the opportunity to work with Jauz and HALIENE on this release. Collaboration is a core value for our team, as well as embracing innovative ways to inspire the general public around oceans, and music inspires us in all aspects of our work. We very much see our science and storytelling as an art form as well, and we hope that through this collaboration, we can show people that anyone can make a positive impact for our planet, our sharks, and our ocean. True conservation requires all of us working together, and what better way to connect deeply with an audience than through music.”
Jauz and HALIENE have also launched limited-edition “Oceans & Galaxies” merch, with a portion of proceeds going to Beneath The Waves. Shop the collection here until 11:59pm PST on Earth Day. From April 19-23, Monstercat will additionally support Beneath The Waves through various donation efforts and educational activations across its daily Twitch programming on Monstercat TV (mctv). Direct donations can also be made here.
Jauz has remained busy in 2021, most recently launching $BTX Coin, his own personal cryptocurrency via Rally, which will help emerging artists and their fans gain valuable exposure, release music, and even collaborate with him. He’ll hit the road soon with a lineup of upcoming appearances including HARD Summer and HARD Fest London, all while running his weekly talk show, In The Tank. HALIENE has also been consistent on the live circuit, performing at events like Dreamworld and Dreamstate, as well as special sets on her Twitch channel. Having grown up in Southern Utah surrounded by National Parks, she’s a huge supporter of caring for our planet and happy to be spreading more education and awareness.

Afro House and Afrobeats Unite as Lohrasp Kansara and DJ Power Breathe New Life Into Afro B’s Hit ‘Joanna’
Lohrasp Kansara “Joanna” Afro House remake lands on TH3RD BRAIN alongside Afro B and DJ Power.
There are records that simply update a song. Then there are records that fully reimagine one. Lohrasp Kansara’s new single “Joanna,” released May 29th on TH3RD BRAIN Records, belongs firmly in the second category. Built from the ground up alongside DJ Power and co-released with the original artist Afro B himself, this is not a remix of the 2018 Afrobeats global hit. Instead, it is a brand new production with a completely new identity. It is built for where Afro House and the dance floor are in 2026. For fans intrigued by the collaboration of Lohrasp Kansara, Joanna, and the surrounding contributors, this release is a must-hear.
The production centres on deep, groove-forward percussion, uplifting chord work, and a refined melodic structure.This structure takes Afro B’s beloved topline and repositions it at the crossroads of Afro House credibility and mainstream dancefloor appeal.
Breaking Down the Artist Behind the Record
To understand why this collaboration carries real weight, you need to understand where Lohrasp Kansara sits in 2026. The Swiss-born, New York-based DJ and producer has logged over 6,000 shows across 60+ countries. He has played five clubs currently ranked on the DJ Mag Top 100 and opened the year with his first headline at Marquee New York to a packed room. In addition, Pete Tong personally signed two of his singles to his imprint Places & Spaces, including “Sandstorm,” which Tong played from the Creamfields main stage. Black Coffee has ID’d eleven of his tracks across his official Spotify playlist.
“Sandstorm” peaked at number 3 and held a spot there for 209 days. His catalog has reached 175+ chart placements and 13M+ playlist reach. Moreover, it has received support from the likes of Calvin Harris, Martin Garrix, Tiësto, Dom Dolla, Adriatique, and Keinemusik, among many others. This broad global reach positions the Lohrasp Kansara and Joanna collaboration as a key moment for both artists. For fans following the rise of Lohrasp Kansara and Joanna, this collaboration marks an important milestone.
Beyond the touring and catalog, Lohrasp runs LOCO CARNAVAL, his weekly Sunday experiential party at Somewhere Nowhere NYC. He has hosted the likes of Shimza, Moojo, Awen, and Kintar there. This event is a platform that speaks to his curatorial vision as much as his artistry. It is a self-built room in one of the world’s most competitive music cities. Having a hand in unique experiences like LOCO CARNAVAL shows how Lohrasp Kansara’s creativity runs through everything he does. From Joanna to his collaborations with global artists like Afro B, his innovation is clear.
The Release and the Buzz So Far
Since its May 29th release, “Joanna” has already made early moves on Beatport. It landed on the Weekend Picks Melodic 2026: Week 22 at number 47, while currently sitting at number 67 on the overall Afro House chart. Additionally, it is at number 20 on Latest Releases: Afro House, with momentum still building. It has also picked up support from the respected editorial platform Madorasindahouse. This buzz surrounding Joanna and the rise of Lohrasp Kansara Joanna in the scene showcases a momentum that is only growing.
The live energy around the record has matched its momentum. Lohrasp ran the record across two nights at Somewhere Nowhere NYC. This included a Saturday night release party with Afro B performing live to a packed room. Furthermore, it was followed by a Sunday Cenote Project daytime rooftop session that carried the same energy across the weekend. Moreover, the excitement surrounding these events reflects Lohrasp Kansara and Joanna’s influence on fans and the Afro House community.
Why “Joanna” Matters Right Now
Lohrasp Kansara’s “Joanna” arrives at a moment when the line between Afrobeats and Afro House continues to blur. This trend is evident among both mainstream and underground audiences. What makes this release different is the full involvement of the original artist. That participation gives the track a level of cultural authenticity that a standard remix process could never achieve. It takes a song already embedded in the cultural memory of millions and gives it a new home on the dance floor. At the same time, it preserves the qualities that made the original resonate. For anyone tracking the continued rise of Afro House as a global genre, this release deserves close attention. Notably, the collaboration between Lohrasp Kansara and Joanna reinforces their influence on the direction of Afro House.

B Jones remixes You Get What You Give by Van Snyder, Serena Bleu and Alexander Popov into a high-voltage peak-time summer anthem built for festival stages.”
Some tracks land softly into the dance music landscape, others arrive like a tidal wave. ‘You Get What You Give (B Jones Remix)’ by Van Snyder, Serena Bleu, and Alexander Popov is firmly the latter, surging into summer with unstoppable momentum and all the markings of a future number one.
At the heart of this explosive release is B Jones, whose remix doesn’t just rework the original—it completely redefines it. Known for her electrifying presence behind the decks and her instinctive understanding of what moves a crowd, B Jones delivers a version that feels tailor-made for the biggest stages in the world.

B Jones has spent years carving out her place in the global dance scene, and it shows in every second of this track. Her production style is sharp, confident, and unmistakably her own—blending driving basslines with euphoric builds that explode into peak-time perfection. There’s a fearlessness in her approach, a willingness to push boundaries while still delivering something instantly accessible. That balance is rare, and it’s exactly what makes her such a commanding force.
With “You Get What You Give,” she taps into something bigger than just a club hit. The remix amplifies the emotional core of Serena Bleu’s vocals while injecting a high-voltage pulse that keeps listeners locked from the first beat to the final drop. The result is a track that feels alive—dynamic, uplifting, and impossible to stand still to.
Van Snyder and Alexander Popov provide a strong foundation while B Jones’ vision propels this version into anthem territory. Every transition is intentional, every build meticulously crafted, and every drop hits with maximum impact. It’s the kind of production that doesn’t just fill a dancefloor—it ignites it.
As the summer unfolds, expect “You Get What You Give (B Jones Remix)” to dominate playlists, festival sets, and airwaves alike. And at the center of that rise is B Jones—an artist operating at full throttle, proving once again that she isn’t just part of the scene.
