FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: October 18, 2024 – Jamaican Afro House artist Merchant has had a breakout year. His standout edits such as Badbwoy vs. Damian Marley’s “The Light Vs. Welcome to Jamrock,” have earned him the support of industry heavyweights like Pete Tong, Blond:ISH, and Diplo plus spins on shows such as BBC Radio One’s Hot Mix.

Merchant’s music pulses with the vibrant spirit of his Caribbean roots. His latest (unofficial) remix of Major Lazer’s “C’est Cuit”, out today for free on Soundcloud, delivers a bright, sun kissed take on the original. Perfect for dance floors from Ibiza to Miami, the remix showcases Merchant’s ability to craft irresistible beats that move global audiences.
“Major Lazer is a big influence on me, and has been since I started making music almost 11 years ago now. So, when I heard “C’est Cuit,” again when listening to records to remix, it just resonated. Considering France’s significant role in the Afro House scene outside of Africa, it felt like the perfect match. The remix came together organically, almost like it was meant to be.”
