HUGEL Drops Star-Studded Debut Album "Twenty One"

Global dance music powerhouse HUGEL officially unveils his long-awaited debut album, Twenty One, now on his label imprint
More than two decades after first stepping behind the decks as a teenager in Marseille, Twenty One represents the culmination of HUGEL's journey from underground DJ to one of the world's most-streamed electronic artists. Spanning 21 tracks and an expansive cast of collaborators from across hip-hop, R&B, Afro House, Latin music, and global dance culture, the album stands as the most ambitious project of his career and a defining statement from one of the leading forces shaping modern Afro House and Latin House.

Built around HUGEL's globally recognizable blend of Afro House, Latin House, Mediterranean rhythms, and crossover songwriting, Twenty One showcases a boundaryless approach to contemporary dance music. Across the album, HUGEL collaborates with an extraordinary roster of artists including Snoop Dogg, Big Sean, NBA YoungBoy, French Montana, Roy Woods, Scott Storch, David Guetta, Ultra Naté, Tokischa, Donel, Barbara Doza, Flagrant Drvms, and many more, creating a project that moves effortlessly between club records, summer anthems, late-night moments, and globally influenced soundscapes.

The album arrives following the successful rollout of singles "Movin' To The Sun" featuring Ultra Naté and Imael Angel, "Ron Y Coco" featuring Flagrant Drvms and Barbara Doza, and "Body Drop" alongside Big Sean and Scott Storch, each offering a different glimpse into the musical world of Twenty One.

For HUGEL, Twenty One arrives at a career-defining moment. Over the last year alone, he has surpassed 1 billion annual streams, grown to more than 27 million monthly Spotify listeners, and cemented himself as one of dance music's most commercially successful global artists. His 2026 Coachella debut featured surprise appearances from Big Sean, Snoop Dogg, Ty Dolla $ign, French Montana, Roy Woods, and Murda Beatz, while his acclaimed Make The Girls Dance residency returned to Hï Ibiza alongside new residencies at Encore Beach Club and EBC at Night in Las Vegas.

More than an album, Twenty One reflects the increasingly global nature of modern music. Drawing from Afro House, Latin House, hip-hop, R&B, and international club culture, the project showcases HUGEL's unique ability to connect genres, audiences, and cultures on a worldwide scale.

With Twenty One, HUGEL delivers the most complete artistic statement of his career and further solidifies his position as one of the defining global voices in contemporary dance music.
