The American powerhouses have come together for a delightful single called ‘To Be Real’ that is all set to dominate the upcoming summer.
Wuki is no stranger to the dance music world. The Grammy-nominated DJ and producer with his ability to seamlessly blend booty, breaks, electro, and house into hard-hitting club-shakers has quickly cemented a global fanbase. Racking up over 121 million streams across all platforms, Wuki has been the recipient of several awards and his success has also led to the inception of his own label, Wukileaks.
Lee Foss, on the other hand, has become globally recognized as a leading innovator of underground house music. His unique ability to stir up breathtaking melodies has been rightfully celebrated through the acclaimed releases on his award-winning record labels Hot Creations and Repopulate Mars.
The pair have now teamed up for their debut collaboration with a delightful summer-ready single called ‘To Be Real.’ Released via LA-based imprint Thrive Music, ‘To Be Real’ sees Wuki and Foss join forces to reimagine one of the most eminent disco cuts of all time, in the form of Cheryl Lynn’s iconic 1978 anthem, ‘Got To Be Real.’

Opening the single with the original record’s instantly recognizable horn riff, the three-and-a-half minute cut quickly dives headfirst into a high-octane, juggernaut that pulsates with driving tech house energy. Commanding attention from the off, the two California-based artists deliver a bona fide club-ready hit, as they combine frenzied percussion with rolling basslines and slick production values to take Cheryl Lynn’s chopped-up vocals to an exciting new realm.
Speaking about the collaboration, Wuki said “I’ve been sampling and flipping a lot of disco records lately, and “To Be Real” has to be one of my favorite disco tracks of all time. I am super honored to get this out with Cheryl’s vocals, and have her be a part of the track as well.”
Lee Foss continued – “There’s never been a better time To Be Real than right now. At the moment we live in a world with very little objective truth, and that is a crying shame. This song is a celebration of that feeling…of being real and getting down on a dance floor outside of time.”
