‘Cash Only’ showcases Alex Wann’s signature sound, merging heavy-hitting melodic percussion and infectious synths with harmonic vocals layered over a driving bassline. Liva K’s touch adds depth with hypnotic melodies and stirring rhythms, culminating in a club-ready masterpiece. First teased in late 2023, the track seamlessly fuses traditional house elements with a vibrant, club-ready flow, creating an electronic anthem that perfectly balances the unique styles of both producers.
The single marks Alex Wann’s highly anticipated return to Black Book Records, following his acclaimed 2023 release, ‘Chase,’ which captivated audiences worldwide. Known for its roster of trailblazing artists and its commitment to pushing electronic music boundaries, Black Book Records proves to be the perfect home for ‘Cash Only,’ seamlessly fitting into their catalog of unforgettable dance staples.
Alex Wann has become a force in the electronic scene, renowned for standout remixes like ‘Milkshake,’ ‘Halele,” and ‘Beyond Us’ and originals such as ‘Peperuke’ and ‘Set Me Free’. His reimagining of classics like Route 94 and Jesse Glynne’s ‘My Love’ has cemented his ability to combine Afro-house vibrancy and modern production with a nostalgic touch. Wann’s meteoric rise in 2024 saw him dominate global charts and stages, with sets at Tomorrowland, Cercle Festival 2024, a b2b set with Pete Tong at IMS Dalt Villa, and a debut North American headline tour that solidified his global appeal.
On how the track came to be, Alex narrates: “Liva and I met in an after-club called Mirage in Paris. We started speaking about music, production, and DJing and we realised we had a lot in common, so we hit it off. The next day we went to my studio in Paris and we started to work on the track together. After that, we kept talking and it just flowed naturally. We sent some things back and forth and all of a sudden we had ‘Cash Only’.”
Liva K, the Greek artist known for his groove-heavy, Afro-house-inspired sound, has garnered support from icons like Black Coffee, Diplo, and BLOND:ISH. With standout productions like ‘The Drill’ and ‘You Can Dance Now,’ defined by emotion-rich atmospherics and dynamic rhythms, he has secured residencies at prestigious venues including Void Mykonos and Volt Milano.
With ‘Cash Only,’ Alex Wann and Liva K deliver a track that showcases their individual artistry while seamlessly blending their creative strengths. The result is an Afro-house anthem that’s as memorable as it is impactful, promising to dominate both playlists and dance floors well into 2025.
