This moment is significant not only for the producers but also for the Amapiano genre, which has been gaining popularity globally. Amapiano, a mix of deep house, jazz, and lounge music popular in South Africa, offers a culturally rich alternative to mainstream electronic dance music.

As DJs and producers worldwide embrace Amapiano, they are reshaping dancefloors and showcasing that innovation in dance music transcends borders.

“The remix reflects our team’s commitment to creating music that resonates with listeners of all generations,” Antaeus stated. “It demonstrates our dedication to pushing boundaries and creating sounds that connect on a deep level, crossing borders.”

A blend of Amapiano, Afrobeats, and dancehall, Marley’s remix of “Jah Sees Them” will compete in the Best Remixed Recording category in the Pop & Dance/Electronic Field. Antaeus, along with Footsteps and MrMyish, produced the record before its release by Monom Records, with mixing and mastering assisted by Grammy-winning audio engineers Joe Maldonado and Alex Psaroudakis.

The First Round Voting period for the 2025 Grammys by the Recording Academy begins on Friday, October 4th. Nominees will be announced on November 8th, followed by Final Round Voting from December 12th, 2024, to January 3rd, 2025.

The 67th Grammy Awards ceremony is set to take place live on Sunday, February 2nd, at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena.
