Rapidly emerging as a defining force in the global Afro House scene, DJ HYDRA continues his upward trajectory with the second release on his newly formed imprint, Suru Records.

A producer with a clear vision and emotive sound, Hydra’s profile is expanding fast, with breakout releases on respected labels that include OVAVA Music, and a newly signed track with DJ Spen’s legendary Quantize Recordings.

His latest single, "5am in Soho" captures a unique emotional space, a melodic, late-night anthem that evokes a universal feeling.

It’s the kind of track you put on when the party is over and its time to go home, but your friends drag you for one more song, It’s that euphoric time when everything blurs but you feel intensely happy, a full sense of liberation, with a child like urge to jump on the nearest car and keep dancing… true freedom in all its essence.

Hydra Comments: “This one is deeply personal to me. I’m the kind of friend who disappears at 5am for side quests, and then you find me back on the dance floor grooving till the lights come on. This is my theme song, it represents the start of the end of the night.”

Blending deep African rhythms with contemporary electronic grooves, HYDRA has crafted a signature sound that resonates on both underground dancefloors and international stages. His music has already earned support from key tastemakers like Themba, Paco Osuna, Arthur Baker, Ruben Mandolini, and Maxi Meraki, and he’s been featured in an expanse of revered publications, with an evergrowing fanbase.

This release, follows on from his impactful debut on Suru Records with "Bamidele" which hit #5 on the Traxsource Afro House chart and broke into the Top 10 overall. Reflecting back, his first track, "Like House," accrued 10K+ streams in under two months, catching the attention of UK label OVAVA Music, who signed and re-issued the song. Hydra later remixed label head Ollie Mundy, with it receiving multiple plays on Burning Man sets that year.

Now signed to both OVAVA Music and Quantize Recordings with more releases on the way, HYDRA is gaining global recognition for his versatile, emotionally driven Afro House sound. Influenced by pioneers like Black Coffee and Keinemusik, he’s spent years refining a style that uniquely bridges the intimacy of club culture with the energy of major festivals.

Preceding a visit to the UK and Europe, he has a hot remix for UK duo Sunana now in the pipeline of one of their label's biggest hits, a universal anthem with guest mixes scheduled for multiple London stations. With major DJ support across the board, HYDRA is receiving plaudits from across the industry, from Defected’s party in Croatia with DJ Spen roadtesting his tracks, to limited-edition edits and new signings, it’s clear that DJ HYDRA is not just climbing, he’s building something that lasts.

Journey Around The World - II

London Girl / London Queen
Meeting a London girl online and flying to the UK for the first time, only to discover she’s even more beautiful in real life than you imagined. This is the soundtrack to those real life love stories ; the thrill of stepping into London’s streets for the first time, falling for the city, and most especially, falling for her.
Smooth urban pop/R&B vibes, soulful hooks, and the golden glow of London at sunset and that once in a lifetime energy.

The Party (EP) Coming Soon

[Lyrics]

Why am I so insecure about (about)
Myself (myself)
My eyes (my eyes)
and everything (everything)
Everything else (everything else!)

Woah (SoHo Cover)

The Party (EP) coming soon

[Lyrics]

WAKE UP!
SAVE IT!
REALIZE!
YA FUCKED UP!

When I walk alone, it's by choice
When I chose this road, it was my choice

I don't know 
What you want from me
There's just a party
outside my window

WAKE UP!
SHUT UP!

You have a right to point out my lies
But I can't trust the truth, not from you

I don't know
What's left for you 
But I can't let this die
No not this time

[Spoken Word]

WAKE UP!
SHUT UP!
STOP THIS!
MUSIC!

It's been way to long
But I can't move on

I don't know
What's left for me
There's just a party
Outside my window

WAKE UP!

The Party (EP) Coming Soon

[Lyrics]

I've spent the last 9 days
Thinking what could have been
Now I'm on my own again
Trying to make sense of it

As I start to think
My brain starts to bleed

Every time I fall It's worse than death
But how can I pass the blame when its all in my head
You made me so happy 
take a look what you did to me

As I start to think
My brain starts to bleed

Why can't I accept it
(is there something wrong with me)
Am I just that sick 
(or is there sense to what I speak)

Oh please please
Let me leave 
Or you'll be the death of me!

5 Months have gone by so quickly now
I'll stay strong as long as I have to
I didn't even make you think
You wont even notice my take of leave


YouWillBeTheDeathOfMe!

Preppy Gxd Steven - Soho Blessed Lyrics:

(Ayy, yeah, yeah)
(Verse 1)
Sky rise high, but just around town (Soho)
Shopping for weeks in Soho, homey vibes around
Nobody taught me how to take things easy, shit was tough
Life preppy like my name, I’m blessed, so blessed
In my prime so vault my frame
We’re makin Orokin level checks
Too sexy, my lineage is well dressed
Spent 15K on a puppy for my niece 
I guess the fur was precious? (whoo)
My last name no clips any guest list
The love of my life is Nancy 
Private school lovers and our families exceed wealthy
I can fuck other women, but there are rules (whoo)
No starstruck babes in the main house, 
don't fall in love, and never be uncertain about who you'll choose (good)
She said yes and I do too (good) 
A wedding in ten years with boo
Until then its yacht parties, babes, crew, winning, snooze 
No tomato sauce packets (Whoo)
my days are creamy pasta, let it stew
I'm thankful for my parents, they stuck to the paper
Strong bonds, they arranged them, 
A castle for our family and major mansions
Soho blessed, shopping all over the map at any point and angle
Blessed and always thankful
Close down the stores so my girl and I can get proper lit

(Chorus)
(Soho yeah)
Soho shopping sprees, not much chance of a hater bopping looks
Spend long days out coping looks
Avatar mirror gazing, trying outfits on (whoo)
They like to chat about my shoes when I'm out in Milan 
Life so earthy and sweet like pecans
I'm Soho blessed, normies are fond, I dress to Impress like James Bond (whoo)
Whispers about me days before I arrive, I’m the biggest fish in every pond

(Verse 2)
(Nah, nah)
Not for everyone because my humor is childish
Only 22 still eating my cabbage
Impossible to blow all my racks bitch
The game is busted, my accounts are stacked
Tech aura on me, bitch I’m a Mac (Ahhh)
Burning millions on crypto memes as an allowance
These shops are my arcade and I’m smiling
My guys and girls are out here playing and skating
I’ll take the biggest prize in store, my bags are reloading (Ba!)
I drop a ticket often but each one is a single bean of coffee
Wrap it up muffin, icing on my cake, just boss shit (whoo)
I'm eating, I'm well fed, a different type of cred
We watch each other model clothes and are both best
I rate babe 5 stars and haven't lied to wifie yet
Luxury stores get me hard lets roll in bed (whoo)
I'm in my shopping bag, in the booth I'm rapping it up (whoo)
Phone in my hand, spotting several online shoes I love (whoo)
Soho shopping is my hobby, never just one stop, never just two
I'm all over the globe, at the change of my mood
Love to shop, my preppy squad does too
(Soho blessed)
(Yeah babe)

(Chorus)
Soho shopping sprees, not much chance of a hater bopping looks
Spend long days out coping looks
Avatar mirror gazing, trying outfits on (Ba)
they like to chat about my shoes when I'm out in Milan 
Life so earthy and sweet like pecans (whoo)
I'm Soho blessed, normies are fond, I dress to Impress like James Bond (whoo)
Whispers about me days before I arrive, I’m the biggest fish in every pond
Whispers about me days before I arrive, I’m the biggest fish in every pond
(Soho shopping Sprees)

Soho Blessing Spree

“This City Is Ours” is a love letter to London’s queer nightlife — from the smoke of the Astoria to the lights of Heaven. A cinematic, euphoric house anthem that celebrates resilience, freedom, and the soul of the city that never stopped dancing. Glitter, sweat, and pride pulse through every beat as echoes of the past collide with the fire of now. London still shines — louder, prouder, and forever alive. 🌈

This City Is Ours

A self produced track for this Sunday. Deep city vibey beats. Heavy hitting drums and huge bass. Enjoy.

Originally from Los Angeles and now based in Chicago, DJ Anokha has been a driving force in the music, nightlife, and entertainment scene for nearly two decades. His journey began in college at just 18, armed with nothing more than a CD collection of chart-topping hits and a passion for music. Along with a few close friends, he launched an event production and management company with one clear mission: to celebrate and promote South Asian culture by blending it seamlessly with mainstream American sounds.

Long before modern DJ software became the norm, DJ Anokha was pushing boundaries. In the late ’90s and early 2000s, he pioneered digital DJing—experimenting with laptops, multiple sound cards, VST plugins, and innovative BPM/key controls—well before platforms like Serato existed. His early vision revolutionized the art of mixing and set him apart as a true innovator.

Over the years, DJ Anokha has lit up stages across the U.S. in cities like Los Angeles, New York, Miami, Dallas, and Denver, while also performing internationally in destinations such as New Delhi, Mumbai, Dubai, Tulum, San Juan, and San José.

Music has always been part of his DNA. Showing rhythm at just 9 months old and learning to play the Tabla at age 6, he developed a lifelong passion for percussion, precision, and sound. With influences drawn from living in diverse countries and cultures, his productions go beyond entertainment—they create an immersive journey across genres and borders.

After a brief hiatus, DJ Anokha has reintroduced himself to the scene, bringing fresh energy and vision to every performance. His mission remains the same: to connect people through music, culture, and unforgettable experiences.
