Shimza and Elderbrook reunite on ‘Falling’ out now on Helix Records – a new single that captures the meeting point between emotional weight and forward-moving rhythm.
Released via Helix Records, the single marks the duo’s latest collaboration following the success of 2024’s “Places”, the acclaimed closing track on Elderbrook’s Another Touch album.
Built around Shimza’s unmistakable Afro-tech propulsion, “Falling” unfolds patiently, allowing tension and space to guide the listener before releasing into something quietly powerful.
Elderbrook’s vocal delivery cuts through the groove with intent — expressive yet restrained — creating a dialogue between rhythm and feeling rather than a simple topline moment. The result is a record that balances movement and meaning, designed for late-night dancefloors as much as solitary listens.
The release arrives during a defining period for Shimza. Widely recognized as the visionary force behind Kunye, the label and event series that has become a vital platform for African electronic music on the global stage, Shimza has helped reshape how Afro-centric club culture is experienced worldwide.
From landmark events in Johannesburg to London, including a now-legendary B2B with Black Coffee, to upcoming showcases across his home country around Pretoria and Durban, Kunye continues to push boundaries while staying rooted in community and culture.
As an artist, Shimza has amassed a devoted global following through his refined Afro-tech sound and high-profile collaborations with artists including Rachel Chinouriri, Aloe Blacc and Louie Vega.
His career has also been marked by a series of viral, era-defining performances for platforms such as Boiler Room and Cercle, cementing his reputation as one of South Africa’s most influential electronic exports.
Elderbrook, meanwhile, remains one of electronic music’s most compelling voices – a producer and songwriter known for weaving introspection into club-ready frameworks. With a catalogue spanning chart-topping singles, celebrated albums, and collaborations that consistently bridge emotion and energy, his presence on “Falling” feels instinctive rather than incidental.
Together, Shimza and Elderbrook deliver a track that doesn’t rush its impact. “Falling” is deliberate, immersive, and quietly arresting – a record that lingers long after the final beat.
