Miami’s own Ape Drums is back and he’s not here to play. Just one week after teaming up with Luch on FFM (already racking up over 27,000 Spotify streams), the Major Lazer powerhouse is sliding into our weekend with his second drop this month — “111” — alongside Berlin’s rising Afro-house queen, JAMIIE.
Out now on Rampa’s VOD label, “111” doesn’t just start — it seduces. The beat eases in, low and deliberate, wrapping you in deep bass, tight percussion, and a haze that feels equal parts rooftop sunset and 3 a.m. after-hours. It’s a dark romance of a track — slow-burn desire, anticipation, and surrender all rolled into one. The kind of song that takes its time getting to the good stuff, but you’re too busy enjoying the anticipation to notice. Dark, impulsive, and dangerously addictive, this one’s pure repeat-button territory.
When Miami Meets Berlin
JAMIIE brings her signature melodic pulse and Afro-house groove, while Ape Drums layers in that global precision he’s been perfecting. Together, they’ve built something that’s sexy without trying too hard, raw without losing polish — the perfect soundtrack for a sunrise set, a sweaty club floor, or that moment when the whole crowd just gets it.
Already in Heavy Rotation
The track’s barely out and it’s already getting love from the big kids’ table — think Black Coffee, Steve Angello, Rampa, Damian Lazarus. Translation: expect to hear “111” slipping into both underground club rooms and festival main stages before you’ve even had time to update your weekend playlist.
