Jitwam and Fiorious unite on new single “Hard N Soft”

Producer, artist, multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Jitwam releases Hard N Soft – the first single from the second chapter in his three-part trilogy, a project that moves between club heat and soulful intimacy with ease.

Rooted in a deep, classic house groove, the track features the dynamic presence of Fiorious, the NY-born vocalist known for his work celebrating identity and liberation on the dancefloor. Together they craft a sound that’s both propulsive and unguarded, a balance of tension and release that nods to the raw, gritty pulse of classic New York house.

Jitwam’s new work moves between rhythm and reflection, shaped by a life across London, New York, and Australia. His globally lived-in sound fuses classic soul, Detroit house and jazz-informed improvisation into something unmistakably his own.

Fresh from standout DJ performances at Fabric and Finsbury Park, he continues to translate his studio world into moments of dancefloor intensity and shared release.

Since his debut TJD001 in 2013, Jitwam has earned admiration from tastemakers including Gilles Peterson and Moodymann, who featured his track Keepyourbusinesstoyourself on the iconic DJ-Kicks compilation — a moment that helped propel him onto the world stage.

He has since released three acclaimed albums – ज़ितम सिहँ (2017), Honeycomb (2019), and Third (2022) – alongside a run of EPs on his own imprint, The Jazz Diaries. With over 100 million streams to date, Honeycomb remains a defining release in his catalogue.

With Hard N Soft, Jitwam leans into contrast, vulnerability against weight, warmth against grit;  finding beauty in the space where feeling meets rhythm..
