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.
