95ANTNY SET TO RELEASE HIS NEW EP ‘LIMINAL SPACES’ on Wednesday 27th November

Published

As 2024 draws to a close, 95ANTNY is set to release his first project: “LIMINAL SPACES”. A Liminal Space is described as “an in-between place or threshold we pass through from one area to another”; in other words, a type of limbo.

When speaking about the making of the project, 95ANTNY said: 
I knew I was going to work on something around this theme because it resonated with me a lot. It just happened that one day while going through a bunch of songs I’d made over time and grouping them according to vibe and mood, I realised I already had the songs for this theme. It’s been there all this while and this is why I believe sometimes an understanding of self happens when you’re revisiting things you’ve accumulated over a period of time.”

Throughout the year, 95 has teased the theme of this project with releases “CURIOUS CAESAR” AND “iDENTIFY”; with the former allowing him to explore the desire for personal growth and commenting on the latter: “…[the beat for iDENTIFY] helped as a guide to what direction I could explore more for Liminal Spaces, sonically.

“LIMINAL SPACES” is the soundtrack to 95ANTNY’s own journey to confront the limbo he once found himself in. It sees collaborations with Kwabena Dennis, Selassie and production from Dan Akins, YOKOTHEMOON, Nebyou Alias and ATN Soul. 

95 is finally sharing a fuller version of himself with 4 additional recordings which complete the project; including new single “UNDER THE SUN” seeing a collaboration with ATN Soul.

The project’s release will be accompanied by a pre-release listening party at Vibrate Studios in Accra and a roll out of visuals over a 2 week period. The project is set to be announced on Sunday 24th November.

2025 will also see more music from 95ANTNY as he continues to evolve in his artistry. 

A Note from 95ANTNY: 
I’m grateful for the opportunity to be able to express myself through this music. 
This project, since I started putting it together, has been a soundtrack to a crucial part of my journey as a person and growth over the past two years. 
It started out as a project to explore a theme but over time, has opened me up and like a fresh wound has taught me crucial and valuable lessons: that no matter the phases and periods of confusion and in times when your only wish is to give up and leave your body, there is that little voice that says it gets better.
Learning that in the in-between spaces remember not to panic, trust the process and surrender to the currents as it will lead you to new beginnings. 
I’ve learnt that it’s fine to scream it out of your system to find ease in your body; knowing that the process is a period of learning, improvement, creation, collaboration and having an understanding of what matters. 
I’ve learnt not to be scared to look inward, to be honest with myself and accept my wrongs and the consequences however hard they come. 
Learning that my mistakes don’t define me and that I should extend grace to myself and do so for others. 
Learning to not be so hard on myself, that when I feel the rush of negative emotions, I should understand that there’s so much life in here that I can make into great things. 
I’ve learnt that the doubts and fears are not real, and to allow myself to accept love and not take it for granted, because love has the power to change you. 
This project is a reminder for myself and to that person out there experiencing eerie times that we all go through periods like this and that it does get better.

Long Island’s Next Big Thing: The Chads Are Ready to Unleash

Published

on

There’s a particular kind of hunger that defines a band on the verge — that combustible mix of raw talent, hard-won momentum, and the unmistakable sense that everything they’ve been building is about to break wide open. The Chads, the pop-punk-ska fireballers out of Sayville, New York, have that hunger in abundance. And in 2026, they are ready to feed it.



The foundation is already in place. The four-piece — Joy, Mike, Mark, and Santino — spent the past year stacking wins that most bands spend a decade chasing. They took home the WEHM Battle of the Bands, earned a coveted spot on the Jumbalaya Stage at the Great South Bay Music Festival, and walked into a WPIX Morning Show segment that put their faces and their music in front of a New York City-wide audience. For a band still in the early stages of their career, it is a résumé that commands attention.



Their debut single “The Neighbors” — a razor-sharp, high-energy pop-punk-ska hybrid pulled straight from a true story of Long Island life — announced their arrival with a wink and a riff. Tongue-in-cheek in tone but tight as a drum in execution, the song showcases exactly what makes The Chads stand out in a crowded regional scene: they can make you laugh and make you move at the same time, which is a far rarer skill than it sounds. The track is available on Spotify and has been making steady inroads on radio, building the kind of organic buzz that no marketing budget can manufacture.


Now comes the next chapter. The Chads are heading into Dream Studios with producer Jason Mekler to record their new EP — a project that represents the most significant creative investment of their career to date. Mekler’s production experience combined with the band’s live-honed instincts makes for a pairing with serious promise. If “The Neighbors” was the introduction, the EP is the statement — the recorded proof that what audiences have been experiencing in clubs and on festival stages across Long Island translates just as powerfully through speakers.

The tri-state area has been the proving ground. The world is next.

Pop-punk has always thrived on authenticity — on bands that sound like they mean it, that write songs about real places and real people and real absurdities of everyday life.

The Chads check every one of those boxes. They are a Long Island band in the truest sense: specific enough to feel genuine, relatable enough to travel far beyond the island that made them.

Watch for the EP. Watch for the tour dates. Watch for the name.
The Chads are coming — and they are bringing Sayville with them.
