ODXC And Lumarie Drop Captivating New Single “Late Night”

UK producer ODXC has dropped his latest single, “Late Night”, alongside Lumarie. The single is the latest to be lifted from his recently released EP, In the Dungeon: Chapter Two. The six-track project spans various genres from drill and hip-hop to grime and R&B and sees the talented producer collaborate with a host of rising artists and vocalists from around the UK. Previous single “R T R Freestyle” with Ben DSP received a great response earlier this year, and “Late Night” will surely be another success for the rising producer from Tottenham, north London.
Whereas “R T R Freestyle” was an outright grime banger, “Late Night” is a mellow R&B groove, a testament to ODXC’s versatility as a producer. Over a smooth, hypnotic beat, Lumarie adds her silky vocals and gorgeous melodies as she sings about the end of a difficult breakup. The production and vocals work in perfect synergy, and it’s clear ODXC and Lumarie are onto something special with this track. It’s elevated further by accompanying visuals (directed by ODXC) that complement and capture the mood of the song brilliantly.
Speaking further on the release, ODXC says: “During lockdown, I held a rap/singing competition called Chef Up Challenge – this is how I met Lumarie. Her competition entry was such a vibe that we wanted to develop it into a full song and feature it on the EP.” Lumarie added: “‘Late Night’ was inspired by a difficult breakup and the mixed emotions that you go through when someone you’ve been trying to end things with finally stops calling. I felt like it was important for me to write a breakup song that was fun and empowering and reflected the fact that heartbreak is not always bad – sometimes it’s needed. Writing this helped me to get through my situation, and I hope it can do the same for people listening.” “Late Night” and the rest of In the Dungeon: Chapter Two are available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://lnk.to/IntheDungeonChapterTwo.

Marz Starlife Makes A Striking First Impression With Healing

Every once in a while, a debut comes along that doesn’t just introduce an artist – it reveals a soul. Marz Starlife’s first EP, Healing, is exactly that. It’s raw, it’s heartfelt, and it doesn’t pretend to have everything figured out. Instead, it leans into the messiness of real life – the mistakes, the heartbreak, the isolation – and tries to make sense of it all through music. Born in Jamaica, raised in the UK, and now back on the island, Marz brings a cross-cultural perspective to his storytelling, but at the heart of Healing is something deeply human: the need to reckon with the past in order to move forward.
Across the project’s standout tracks, Marz doesn’t hold back. In Bad Memories, he opens up about years lost to incarceration, fractured relationships, and the weight of regret. “Spent four birthdays locked up, baby remember me please,” he raps, in a tone that’s both matter-of-fact and aching. The production stays subdued and moody, letting the lyrics breathe. There’s no glorification of the streets here, only reflection. He admits to being young and caught up in the chase for fast money, but he also shows growth, making it clear that he’s not the same person he once was. It’s a track that lingers, not because it tries to be flashy, but because it feels real.
The title track, Healing, is where everything clicks. Marz taps into something almost spiritual as he raps, “I turn pain into power, darkness to light.” The song is layered with poetic lines and subtle emotional shifts, balancing toughness with tenderness. There’s a determination to rise above, even when the scars still sting. He reflects on his upbringing, his time in the streets, and the inner battles he continues to fight. “No shrink can understand how I’m feeling,” he says, and honestly, it’s hard not to believe him. The pain here is too specific, too lived-in. But instead of letting it swallow him, he uses it to fuel something greater.
What’s refreshing about Healing is that it doesn’t try to fit neatly into any one genre or narrative. Marz blends elements of UK hip-hop, Jamaican rhythm, and emotional rap into something that feels uniquely his own. He’s not here to be the loudest or the flashiest; he’s here to be honest. And in a world full of over-produced, over-polished music, that honesty stands out.
With Healing, Marz Starlife has given us more than a debut; he’s given us a mirror into his journey, and maybe even our own. Whether you’ve lived through similar struggles or are just someone who appreciates music with depth and heart, this EP is worth your time. It’s a reminder that healing isn’t linear, but it’s possible, and that sometimes telling your story is the most powerful thing you can do.
