Orange Hill, the UK-based electronic dance music and DJ outfit led by renowned DJ and producer Ras Kwame, make their long-awaited return with the Afrobeats and dancehall-infused single Pon Time Again featuring Vybz Kartel, Idris Elba and Yung Alpha out 3rd September, 2025 via Platoon.
Formed in 2011, Orange Hill burst onto the scene with the fiery debut Wine De Best featuring UK rap icon Kano, Jamaica’s dancehall stalwart Busy Signal, and the late US club legend Fatman Scoop, a release that stormed into the UK Official Singles Breakers Chart Top 20.
Originally a duo with production partner Jnr Tubby, Tubby left the group in 2013. Ras has since collaborated with global producers KickRaux and Yung Alpha, creating a catalogue of standout tracks with Mr Vegas, Stylo G, Mr Eazi, RDX, Sneakbo, Anthony B, Ishawna, Camidoh, and Lisa Mercedez. Their music has earned playlisting across BBC 1Xtra, Capital Xtra, Kiss FM, MTV, Spotify, and Apple Music.
On stage, Orange Hill have delivered high-energy sets worldwide, from touring with Fatman Scoop to performances at SxSW (USA), London’s Fabric and The Roundhouse, Notting Hill Carnival (Boiler Room), Damian Marley’s Welcome to Jamrock Cruise, and Glastonbury blending dancehall, Afrobeats, reggae, and EDM into an electrifying club experience.
Following a hiatus after 2018’s The Carnival EP, Ras Kwame now reignites Orange Hill with Pon Time Again, a feel-good anthem uniting global superstar and dancehall’s finest Vybz Kartel, actor/DJ/producer Idris Elba, and rising Nigerian Afrobeats star Yung Alpha (Sober ft. Davido, Olumbah & Hmmm.. for Chris Brown & Davido), who also co-produces the track.
