The global dance floor just got a lot more interesting. In a move few saw coming, multi-platinum hitmaker Topic has teamed up with South African Afro-tech pioneer Shimza for their debut collaboration, “Missing You.” Released on March 13, 2026, via Universal Germany and Helix Records, the track serves as a bridge between mainstream emotional dance and the deep, percussive energy of the Kunye universe.
A7S Reunites with Topic for “Missing You”
No Topic hit is complete without a soul-stirring vocal, and A7S—the voice behind “Breaking Me”—delivers exactly that. In this A7S new song, his signature vocals provide the emotional core, perfectly balancing the late-night tension created by Shimza’s intricate rhythms.
Shimza, who has been instrumental in amplifying Afro culture globally, brings a raw, forward-thinking perspective to Topic’s polished production style. The result is a track that feels equally at home on a radio playlist as it does in a dark, underground club.
Road to Miami Music Week 2026
The timing of the release is strategic. As the industry prepares for Miami Music Week 2026, Shimza is set to showcase his Shimza&Co concept, with “Missing You” expected to be one of the most played IDs of the week.
This isn’t a one-off experiment, either. Insiders suggest that Topic and Shimza are already working on further projects scheduled for later this year, signaling a long-term fusion of European dance and Afro-tech dance music.
