Outsiders II marks the introduction of Kudbeu and Kana — new aliases from South African producers Pierre Johnson and Simeon — and serves as a bold continuation of the world first explored in Pierre Johnson’s solo album, Outsiders. With this new chapter, the two long-time collaborators step outside their established identities to dig deeper into a more textured, immersive take on deep house.

Crafted over half a decade through studio sessions, voice notes, and shared late-night ideas, the album flows with lush textures, warm analog synths, detailed percussion, and emotive progressions — an ode to introspection and groove. Atmospheric pads and hypnotic rhythms shape a matured and exploratory evolution of the original Outsiders concept.

The lead single My Love has already made waves — going viral on TikTok and receiving strong support from key tastemakers including Leighton Moody, Vinny Da Vinci, Jullian Gomes, China, !Sooks, China Charmeleon, and more.

Through Kudbeu and Kana, Pierre and Simeon unlock new creative territory, embracing the freedom that comes with starting fresh — a sonic statement shaped by patience, growth, and a mutual love for deep, soulful dance music.

This isn’t just a sequel — it’s a reset. A chance to reimagine, reconnect, and go deeper.
