Beatport-Exclusive DJ Pack Drops May 22 | Produced by Grammy-Winning Luis “TheDro1dz” Salazar | Swahili Chant Anchors a Five-Year Story of Becoming

Independent Miami-based pop artist AZSH (pronounced “Ash” / Ashley C. Arkels) releases Endless Summer, the closing track and emotional culmination of her self-titled debut album, as a single on June 5, 2026 — an afro house-inspired dance pop record produced by Grammy-winning, multi-platinum producer Luis “The Dro1dz” Salazar.

Written by AZSH to mark five years of independent becoming, Endless Summer is a celebration of unity and growth, anchored by a Swahili chant — “Nia moja” (one purpose) — that powers the chorus. The track lands as both a standalone single and the thesis statement of the album it closes: every season of the AZSH catalog has been building toward this moment.

“Endless Summer is a song for celebration and movement. I’m personally celebrating a season of becoming which I’ve told through my songs on the AZSH album. I believe we’re always in a season of becoming and that requires a lot of persistence and dedication,” says AZSH.

A Beatport-Exclusive DJ Rollout

A complete Endless Summer DJ pack — including the radio edit and extended mix — drops exclusively on Beatport on May 22, 2026, two weeks ahead of the official single release. The pack expands to all other DJ platforms on June 5 alongside the single’s public DSP release. The extended mix (3:50), which appears as the closing track on the AZSH album, is the version optimized for dancefloors and afro house sets.

Grammy-Winning Production

Endless Summer is produced and mixed by Luis “The Dro1dz” Salazar — the Miami-based, Grammy-winning multi-platinum producer/songwriter (member of production teams The Dro1dz and The Swaggernautz) whose credits include Sebastian Yatra, Maluma, Anitta, CNCO, Farruko, Chayanne, and Wisin, with a Latin Billboard #1 (“Ya Quiero” — Domino Saints) to his name. Endless Summer marks the afro house arrival point of AZSH’s “Miami Pop” sound — a body-moving blend of dance pop with afro house, soulful house, big room, and tropical house textures.

Music Video

The official Endless Summer music video is in post-production for a late June 2026 premiere.

The Single in the Context of the Album

Endless Summer closes AZSH’s 12-track self-titled debut album, released the same day. The album reframes eleven singles released between 2021 and 2026 into a single transformational arc — culminating in the previously unreleased Endless Summer (Extended). The tagline “Every song was a season. Every season was building toward Endless Summer” captures the central premise of both the single and the album it crowns.

Host Bodies’ track ‘On A Roll’ Gets a Psychedelic Reinvention from Soul Glitch

Ten years after Host Bodies first released the album Daily Apparatus, “On A Roll” has found a completely new groove.

For the Daily Apparatus: 10 Year Remixes project, multi-instrumentalist and producer Nicholas Hasty, under his Soul Glitch moniker, takes the original electronic-rock track and pulls it into deeper, more psychedelic territory.

The remix keeps the energy of Host Bodies intact while opening up the track with new beats, electronic textures and expressive saxophone solos. Electric guitar, bass and layered production give it a rich, genre-blurring sound that sits somewhere between indie electronic, jazztronica, soultronica and alternative dance.

There’s something particularly satisfying about hearing a decade-old track treated not as a relic, but as raw material. Soul Glitch reshapes “On A Roll” , finding new spaces within the original and bringing his own musical language into the mix.

The result is energetic, sensual, psychedelic and unapologetically expansive.

Ten years on, “On A Roll” proves that sometimes the best way to celebrate where a song came from is to find somewhere completely new for it to go.
