Nia Archives launches Up Ya Archives Records with "Get Loose" featuring Cheetah
New-gen junglist Nia Archives has launched her new record label Up Ya Archives and shared the debut release, "Get Loose", with Bristol based newcomer Cheetah.
First stumbling upon Cheetah’s music on bandcamp, she included "Spin Sugar" from his 2022 EP Sike! in her debut BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix. Continuing to support him, they soon linked up officially in her London studio to make some edits for her upcoming tour and their friendship and collaborative relationship flourished.
“Get Loose is about getting loose with the gang. It’s us being care free and not caring too much about what everyone else is up to, we just wanna have some fun,” Nia Archives says.
"The track came together pretty naturally. It’s essentially an ode to soundsystem and party culture. It’s about that feeling of being completely one on one with the music, head buried into the rig and feeling the bass rattle your ribs. It’s all pretty simple but super energetic, the lyrics are literally an instruction. We took huge inspiration from soca letting the super energetic vocals take control of the track," Cheetah adds.
"Get Loose" is out now via Up Ya Archives.
