Earlier in 2024, Foliage Records welcomed the esteemed Ralf GUM for a debut release, a collaboration with US Soulstress Monica Blaire. The result was the mesmerizing track "AWA" a song crafted over the span of three years. Today, we are thrilled to unveil the first remix of "AWA" brought to life by the soulful artistry of our dear friend, Atjazz.



Ralf GUM has always remained true to his musical vision and feeling. Instead of adapting he chose to rather develop and grow. With an impressive catalogue of top quality tunes, he has become a legendary figure in House Music, but never rests on his laurels, as he continues to redefine his sound and the genre with exquisite releases and collaborations. "AWA" is yet another stunning addition to his repertoire, taking listeners on an immersive sonic journey that engages all the senses.



Detroit singer, songwriter, and MC Monica Blaire is truly a unique alternative soulstress. Extremely versatile and very talented, her passion for music has led to amazing collaborations with artists such as R&B singers Dwele & Vanessa Williams, Denuan Porter from D12, Wajeed from the Platinum Pied Pipers and most recently a wonderful solo album released on Mahogoni Music produced by label owner and legend Moodymann.



From his early days skateboarding through the small towns of Northeast England to managing a successful independent record label, Martin "Atjazz" Iveson has journeyed through producing and remixing for a diverse range of global talent. He has become synonymous with top-tier style, production, and innovation in the independent music scene.



Fans recognize that the Atjazz sound is profoundly personal, with each track he produces or remixes reflecting a piece of himself.
