Bristol-based producer and Deadbeats veteran Axel Boy is teaming up with Grammy nominated American rapper and DJ Princess Superstar on their collaboration “On Time” set to release on Friday, March 20 on Deadbeats.
Here’s what Axel Boy had to say about the collaboration with Princess Superstar:
“When Deadbeats linked me up with Princess Superstar, I was over the moon. I have been a huge fan of hers for years. Together we had a really fun creative process making this track, bouncing back ideas online and then getting in the studio in Bath, UK – our creativity flowed naturally.
I think our sounds combine perfectly and it is a real honor to work with such a legendary artist.”
After combining this power duo, “On Time” has an undeniable chemistry. The track hits fast and does not let up with its fusion of UK garage swings, bright basslines, and high-octane vocals. With Princess Superstar’s unmistakable vocals cutting straight through the bass-driven production, this electrifying collaboration is a staple weapon in DJ’s arsenal that will leave fans eager to experience this live.
Speaking about the collab, Princess Superstar added:
“I loved working with Axel Boy, his tracks are so soulful and beautiful and I knew we would create magic together. We recorded this in the countryside in Bristol, literally there were sheep outside the recording studio and it was so special.
It’s a song about relating to time and how everything happens for a reason and even if it feels like everything is falling apart, maybe everything is right on time. I am really excited to bring this to the world!”
Axel Boy has steadily built a reputation for delivering cinematic, high-impact productions that blur the lines between UK Garage, Dubstep, and Drum & Bass. Gaining recognition from labels like Deadbeats, UKF, Bite This!, Dim Mak, Crucast, Warner, and Universal, he’s earned support from elite names like Skrillex, Zeds Dead, NGHTMRE, The Chainsmokers, and Tiesto. His sets are known for their explosive pacing while his records capture that same adrenaline.
Princess Superstar is no stranger to shaping dance floors worldwide. With releases on Armada Music and Studio !K7, and her era-defining and viral club hit “Perfect (Exceeder)” alongside Mason, she carved out a permanent place in house music. Her collaborations with legends like Armand Van Helden and Todd Terry further cement her as a dance music mainstay who knows exactly how to command a crowd.
“On Time” feels like a full-circle moment for two artists who thrive on pushing boundaries while staying true to their roots. It’s bold, it’s heartfelt, and it’s built for those hands-in-the-air, lights-down, bass-up moments that define why we fall in love with dance music in the first place.
When Axel Boy’s cinematic intensity collides with Princess Superstar’s iconic presence, the result isn’t just a collaboration — it’s a statement. And come release day March 20th on Deadbeats, fans everywhere will realize this one didn’t just land at the right moment… it arrived exactly on time.
