This is the perfect track to put on in the telly.

Brooklyn-based Gabon-Canadian producer Tom X Wolfe continues to prove that versatility isn’t just a buzzword — it’s his creative DNA.

As a music producer and label owner, he’s been steadily carving out a lane that fuses Afrobeats, pop, and alternative sounds into something sleek, emotional, and undeniably global.

His latest single, “UP & DOWN” featuring Thabi Nkoma, is a perfect showcase of that dynamic range.

“UP & DOWN” glides effortlessly on a smooth, funky instrumental that feels tailor-made for late-night drives or candlelit dance sessions. The production balances bounce and soul — vibrant enough to make your head nod, yet mellow enough to keep you lost in the groove.

Thabi Nkoma steps in with an effortless and sultry vocal performance, delivering his lines with that calm confidence that makes you believe every word. He croons about the highs and lows of love — the push and pull that comes with being deeply connected to someone — wrapping it all in sleek melodies and subtle passion.

What makes “UP & DOWN” stand out is how organic it feels. There’s no overproduction or forced catchiness here — just a track that flows naturally, pulling you in with rhythm and heart. It’s another example of Tom X Wolfe’s growing mastery of mood and movement, proving he knows how to make music that resonates both on the dancefloor and in your feelings.
