DJ and producer Wilza continues his mission to revive the spirit of New Jack Swing with his latest single, “The Right Way,” dropping Friday 13th June on SwingBeat Records. This fresh cut is a nu-disco reimagining of Johnny Gill’s iconic 1990 anthem “Rub You the Right Way,” infused with a sleek, modern electronic twist designed to energise dancefloors worldwide.

“The Right Way” follows on from Wilza’s February release “I Like,” which paid homage to Guy’s classic of the same name. Both singles are part of Wilza’s New Jack House project — a passion-driven series aiming to fuse the timeless grooves of New Jack Swing with contemporary house and disco.

“‘The Right Way’ is a celebration of the era that shaped me,” says Wilza. “It’s my way of blending nostalgia with today’s club energy. I wanted to take the essence of Johnny Gill’s original and rework it into something that feels right for 2025 — something that hits hard but still swings.”

As with all of Wilza’s New Jack House tracks, this latest release balances respect for the genre’s roots with bold production choices that place it firmly in the now.

Expect more music from Wilza’s New Jack House project throughout the year, as he continues pushing the boundaries of genre revival and modern club culture.

About Wilza
Wilza is a London-based DJ and producer known for blending classic New Jack Swing with high-energy house and nu-disco. Through his label SwingBeat Records, he’s building a catalogue that connects generations on the dancefloor.

WILL B TEAMS UP WITH NES MBURU FOR ELECTRIFYING NEW SINGLE ‘USIKU’ — OUT JUNE 20th ON SPIRIT ANIMAL RECORDS

Two-Track Collaboration Kicks Off with a Peak-Time Club Anthem Blending Dark Energy and Romantic Storytelling

Dynamic producer Will B and the incredibly talented vocalist and songwriter Nes Mburu join forces for a pulsating new single, ‘Usiku’, dropping Friday, June 20th via Spirit Animal Records. The track will enjoy a two-week exclusive release on Beatport, giving DJs and electronic music lovers early access to what promises to be a summer-defining anthem.

‘Usiku’—Swahili for “Night”—marks the first part of a two-track collaboration between Will B and Nes Mburu. Conceived as a dark, high-energy club anthem designed for the peak hours of the night, the track bursts with rhythmic intensity and hypnotic production that commands the dance floor. However, the magic doesn’t stop at the beat.

With his exceptional songwriting prowess, Nes Mburu transforms the instrumental into a compelling love story, capturing the moment a man becomes captivated by a woman at a party and longs to spend the night dancing by her side. By aligning his lyrical narrative with the night-driven energy of the production, Mburu ensures the title ‘Usiku’ resonates on both a musical and emotional level.

This single is only the beginning. ‘Usiku’ sets the tone for the duo’s evolving narrative, with part two to follow later this year—promising to expand the story and sound even further.

“From the very start, I knew this beat was meant for the dead of night,” says Will B. “When Nes came in with that concept, he took it somewhere deeper. It became more than just a party track—it became a moment.”

‘Usiku’ will be available on all major streaming platforms following its Beatport exclusive window. DJs, tastemakers, and fans of emotionally charged club music—this one’s for you.

Growing up in East London, Wilza learned to play the piano classically reaching grade 6 as a teenager, but then shifted his sights to DJ'ing and started locally as part of a 'sound' at age 16. He juggled this with his other love, Basketball where he played for London Towers (the best team in the country at the time) till the age of 19 and then moved to semi professional football in the years to follow. 
Now, with a wealth of experience both behind the decks, and managing record labels (he used to manage eclectic record label, Casual Records; and House label Need2Soul) Wilza is now ready to release some of his own House music production work to the world through his own label, SwingBeat Records. His sound focuses on bringing back elements and influences from late 80's and early 90's New Jack Swing/RnB/Hip Hop/Soul and using those influences to create modern days bangers
