The Good Men, THEMBA (SA), Khenya (IBZ) 'Give It Up' on Armada Music

Armada Music has already had a defining year in 2025, and now it celebrates its 150th release of the year with 'Give It Up' by The Good Men, THEMBA (SA), and Khenya (IBZ), presented here in the Extended Mix. With 299 releases across the label so far this year, this milestone single lands in the middle of a remarkably prolific run and serves as a reminder of Armada's global reach, the release blending the heritage of The Good Men with two of Afro house's most in-demand contemporary voices.

The track itself is a study in restraint. Led by percussion and a spare, insistent drum figure, it holds back and leaves plenty of room under the peaks, allowing an airy top end to breathe. It is a sound built for the long, golden hours of a high summer season, equally at home in Lisbon or Berlin. The record has already been charted by Major League DJz, who placed it at 22nd in their Best Afro House selection for Untitled Audio Edition on 14 July, a nod to its growing presence in the scene's most discerning sets.

This is Afro house at its most elegant, and a fitting milestone for a label that continues to shape the genre's mainstream moment while honoring its underground roots.
