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

Dysmusia Keeps “In your eyes” Honest, Warm And Straight To The Point
It is easy to see why a songwriter might be drawn to a story like this. Relationships rarely finish as neatly as people would like, and the space between “it is over” and “maybe we should try again” can produce plenty of material. For Dysmusia, that space becomes the setting for latest single “In your eyes”, out now through Now Listen.
The Irish singer-songwriter has a knack for keeping his writing close to everyday life, and this track benefits from that approach. He looks at an old relationship that has already gone through several attempts at making things work, then focuses on what happens when those feelings start creeping back in.
What makes the song appealing is the balance between sincerity and a lighter touch. Dysmusia is clearly invested in the situation, but he does not turn every moment into a grand declaration. There is room for a bit of humour and hesitation along the way, which keeps the song feeling natural.
The arrangement gives the song a pleasing lift. Acoustic guitar sits at the heart of it, with the dropped tuning adding some richness and a second guitar bringing extra colour. The result has folk at its core but carries enough indie-rock influence to give it a little extra punch.
Dysmusia’s Irish background is another part of the picture. Based between Antrim and Dublin and coming from a musical family, he has developed a style that puts storytelling alongside contemporary guitar sounds.
“In your eyes” brings those influences together without making a fuss about them. It is a personable, melodic track about feelings that refuse to follow a neat timetable, delivered with enough warmth to make the story easy to get behind.
