Milk & Sugar, James Hurr & Nomfusi Unite on Global House Cut “African Heat”
Arriving June 5 on Milk & Sugar Recordings, the collaboration blends driving house rhythms with powerful African vocal energy.



Music has always had the ability to connect different worlds, and “African Heat” brings exactly that idea to life. For the new collaboration, Milk & Sugar, James Hurr, and South African vocalist Nomfusi join forces on a record that brings together different musical influences and backgrounds into one club-focused production.
Driven by rolling percussion, warm bass movement and layered rhythmic elements, the track builds a strong groove while leaving space for Nomfusi’s expressive vocal performance to take center stage. Her combination of English verses and a memorable Xhosa hook adds a distinctive character and gives the record an emotional depth beyond its dancefloor energy.
For the artists, the collaboration was about bringing together different creative identities and allowing each element to complement the other.
“The idea was to create something that feels energetic and powerful while staying authentic to everyone involved,” say Milk & Sugar and James Hurr. “Nomfusi brought a unique spirit and emotion to the record that immediately elevated the track.”
Combining house music with organic rhythm and vocal storytelling, “African Heat” reflects the energy of international collaboration while keeping the focus firmly on the groove.
