Lucas & Steve Talk Unreleased Festival Productions, Dance Classic Reworks, Music Output & More!
Internationally acclaimed DJ/producer duo Lucas & Steve has revamped one of the biggest songs from the 90’s, transforming Blackstreet’s ‘No Diggity’ into a hot blooded piece of dance music. Featuring the vocals in a fresh, re-recorded version, the track blends its timeless R&B sound with sturdy house rhythms and warm piano chords. It’s a classic taken to new heights, teaming up two different acts, as well as the sound from two different decades, turning into something quite unique – available now on all streaming platforms.
We had the pleasure of sitting down and speaking with Lucas & Steve to talk about their new release and more. Check it out below!
Let’s kick it off with your new single, ‘No Diggity’. How happy are you with the finished product?
“You can imagine we’re extremely excited to work with the legends from blackstreet. We worked on that track for a long time so it feels great that it’s finally out!”
This release sees you team up with the legendary Blackstreet to reimagine their classic. How was it to work alongside an iconic act that isn’t connected fully to the dance music scene?
“Super interesting! We re-recorded No Diggity’s vocal with them. It’s really cool to see how they work with their old-skool hiphop vibe. The combination between that and house-music really feels like something special.”
‘No Diggity’ and your 2017 release ‘Up Till Dawn’ showcases your ability to bring old tracks into a modern age. How is it to be reimagining these singles for new fans that may not have been aware of the original?
“Some tracks are just timeless. They contain elements that just keep on working well and can really be revived by adding and producing a new track around it.”
If you guys were to touch another classic and put it into a 2021 spin, which one would you choose?
“We’ve got plenty of ideas for that, but we’ll keep those secret for now;-)”
In the reverse of that, which classic tracks do you enjoy on a personal level that you feel like you might not want to touch?
“I don’t think there is a really strong limit that you shouldn’t touch. If you have a good idea for a classic track, why not work it out? I think that if tracks get revived with a new version, it’s a compliment to the classic.”
We last spoke just under 1 year ago about the release of ‘Letters’. Since then you guys have dropped your very first album. How long had you guys been working behind the scenes to put the whole album together?
“Most work was done working towards the albums for about 1.5 years. But we planned it a long time before that.”
Even with a massive album you have continued to drop new singles. How do you manage to keep such a high output in the studio?
“The trick is, we both produce and we ALWAYS produce. We just love doing this and we can work simultaneously in our two studio situated next to each other.”
1 year on from the cancellation of shows across the world and with a vaccine rollout in process, what are you looking forward to the most when shows return?
“The whole feeling of connecting with our fans on stage. We’ve missed them so much! We just wanna share our music, our passion with them as soon as possible. A couple of weeks ago we played at a heavily controlled COVID-testevent (everybody was tested before, during and after the show and many precautions were taken. This resulted in 0 infections) for about 1400 people for the first time again. This really gave us goosebumps and made us realize even more how much we miss this.”
Although you have released an album and numerous singles in the past year, are you sitting on some special music that deserves a crowd for the first play?
“Definitely. We’re creating so many club/festival-tracks at the moment! We can’t wait to play those live!!”
With the return of shows and touring, is there anything you’ll miss from lockdown and life from the past year?
“Yes, it’s been so good to be closer to our friends and family for a while. Also the great amount of studiotime is something we got used to easily.”
Thanks to both of you for taking the time to answer these questions!
“Thanks for having us! Hope to see you soon.”
Afro House
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. This is not just a remix; it’s a masterclass in energy control, tension, and release.
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.
