In an unexpected crossover, Topic and Shimza come together for “Missing You,” a collaboration that brings together two distinct corners of the global dance music landscape. Released on March 13 via Helix Records and Universal Germany, the track marks Topic’s first release of 2026 and pairs his emotionally driven, radio-ready sound with Shimza’s deeply rooted Afro-tech identity.
The collaboration stands out not just for its rarity but for how naturally the artists’ styles intersect. Topic, known for shaping some of the most widely recognised modern dance records, steps into a more rhythm-driven space, while Shimza continues to expand his global footprint through projects connected to his Kunye platform. The release also arrives at a busy moment for Shimza, who is set to take his Shimza&Co concept to Miami during Miami Music Week, alongside an ongoing run of high-profile releases.
Adding a familiar emotional layer to the record is A7S, whose vocals have defined some of the most recognisable dance tracks in recent years. His presence on “Missing You” anchors the track, balancing its club energy with a sense of melodic vulnerability that has become a signature across his work.
With all three artists operating at a high point in their careers, “Missing You” signals more than a one-off collaboration. Topic and Shimza are already working on additional material, hinting at a continued creative partnership through 2026.
