Albums | Luwidakid Sets the Stage Ablaze with “True Colors” — A Fusion of Afrobeats & Hip-Hop

Posted by VMan on March 27, 2025

Pittsburgh-based artist Luwidakid is back with a bang, dropping his latest single, “True Colors” — a vibrant blend of Afrobeats and Hip-Hop that promises to set dance floors on fire. Known for his signature genre fusion, which he dubs “afro-jig,” Luwidakid continues to push musical boundaries with infectious rhythms, sharp lyricism, and undeniable charisma.

Born in Cameroon and raised in Northern Virginia, Luwidakid’s sound is a melting pot of influences. Drawing inspiration from icons like Bob Marley, P-Square, Kid Cudi, and Kendrick Lamar, he’s crafted a style that feels both globally inspired and deeply personal. After moving to Pittsburgh to attend the University of Pittsburgh, Luwidakid immersed himself in the city’s music scene, building a loyal following with his dynamic live performances and genre-bending tracks.

“True Colors” is the ultimate party anthem — bursting with lively percussion, catchy melodies, and an undeniable groove. The track was born last summer when Luwidakid’s friend Curley tagged him in an Instagram post featuring the beat. Instantly inspired, he penned the lyrics, determined to showcase not only his ability to craft feel-good bangers but also his sharp lyrical prowess.

“Once Curley sent me the beat, the flow just started playing in my head. I wanted to show my rap ability, so I made sure my verses were lyrically tight. When I recorded it at Nightfall Studio, everyone who heard it was blown away — the song just feels so good,” Luwidakid shares.

Posted by VMan on February 26, 2025

Enigmatic artist collective, Mistier, returns with a captivating new single, “The Time is Now’” A striking blend of Melodic House & Techno, Progressive House, and Deep House, this vocal-
driven release delivers a euphoric yet reflective energy, perfect for fans of RÜFÜS DU SOL, Lane 8,
WhoMadeWho, Booka Shade and more.

Anchored by a groove-laden bassline and soaring synthwork, “The Time is Now” weaves emotive
melodies with deep rhythmic textures. The track’s defining moment arrives in its signature breakdown,
shifting from a rolling 4-on-the-floor pulse into a classic breakbeat, before building into an explosive
climax. A brief silence follows, as the spoken-word vocal cuts through the intensity to ask: “Can you
feel it?” – a moment of tension and release that encapsulates the song’s core message of living fully in
the present. Speaking about the track, Mistier’s Andre Mistier explains: “The only time that exists for our experience is the present. Seize the present, connect to the present. It is the only time that we can experience both our feelings and our bodies.” This ethos pulses through every beat of ‘The Time is Now,’ delivering a powerful mix of club energy and introspective emotion.

Mistier’s expansive sound has earned support from Armin Van Buuren, Will Clarke, OFFAIAH, Roger
Sanchez, and many more, with support from SiriusXM. Their catalogue also features stunning remix
collaborations with Soul Button, OFFAIAH, Zoo Brazil, and Enoo Napa, further cementing their
reputation as forward-thinking producers in the melodic electronic space. Alongside the release, Mistier will unveil the latest edition of their Melodic Frequencies mix series, featuring an immersive visualiser journey available via their official YouTube channel and SoundCloud. “The Time is Now” will also take pride of place in their ever-growing Melodic Frequencies Spotify Playlist, a fast-rising hub for the finest Melodic House sounds.
