The Story
There's a growing appetite in dance music for tracks that bring back the fun — the unserious, infectious energy that defined early 2000s UK dance-pop. Coins delivers exactly that. Released on Diplo's Higher Ground imprint in January 2025, this three-way collaboration brings together JADED (the UK house duo known for their Toolroom and Defected releases), Surya Sen (rising UK producer), and Sasha GiGi (vocalist/rapper who brings the pop-rap flavor). The result is a techy electro-house stepper with super catchy rap lyrics that wouldn't sound out of place on a Dizzee Rascal record — except the production underneath is proper club-grade tech house. Higher Ground has been Diplo's vehicle for quality house and tech house, and Coins fits perfectly alongside their roster. It's the kind of track that bridges the gap between the pop crowd and the heads — catchy enough for the casuals, produced well enough that DJs respect it. The vocal hook is an earworm, and at 128 BPM it sits right in the tech house sweet spot.
Mixing Recommendations
ENERGY: Mid-to-peak time. The vocal/rap element makes it a crowd pleaser — perfect for when you want to shift the vibe from heads-down to hands-up. Great for bringing in people who aren't deep into dance music.
BPM/KEY COMPATIBILITY: 128 BPM in G minor — dead center tech house territory. Harmonically works with Bb major, D minor, Eb major, C minor. The G minor tonality matches AYYBO - RIZZ (also G minor, 127 BPM) for a seamless back-to-back.
TRANSITION IN: Bring it in after a groovier, less vocal track. The rap vocal will hit as a moment of contrast. Works especially well after a build-up or percussion break.
TRANSITION OUT: Follow with another vocal-driven banger to keep the sing-along energy, or drop into something darker and more minimal to create tension. Chris Lake or Fisher tracks flow naturally from here.
SET CONTEXT: Pride events, festival sets, pool parties, late-afternoon outdoor stages. This is the track that makes people smile and dance. It's got pop crossover appeal without sacrificing underground credibility — exactly the vibe for events that blend communities.
PAIRS PERFECTLY WITH: AYYBO - RIZZ (same key, similar energy), Disclosure/Chris Lake - one2three (pop-house crossover energy), Sonny Fodera & Dom Dolla - Moving Blind (tech house vocal drive).
