Ahadadream Clears the Floor with New Single “Make Space” — A Summer Anthem for Club Culture’s Chosen Family
Some records ask you to dance. “Make Space,” the new single from London-based DJ and producer Ahadadream, tells you exactly who the dancefloor is for — and then hands them the mic.
Out today via Astralwerks, “Make Space” is a full-volume celebration of the communities keeping club culture honest. It’s built around a chant that doubles as a mission statement: “all the girls to the front, all the gays to the front, all the theys to the front,” with shout-outs rolling through West Africans, South Africans, South Asians, Caribbeans, Latinx communities, the SWANA crew, and East Asians. It’s less a traditional summer anthem than a roll call.

Sonically, the track lives right where Ahadadream has always thrived — percussion-forward, bass-hungry production wrapped around addictive vocal hooks and a genuinely global club sensibility. There’s the sweat of a late-night basement in it, but also the swagger of a classic party record that knows it’s going to outlive the season. Designed for packed rooms, festival sunsets, and the kind of 3 a.m. sets where the DJ and the crowd are basically co-writing the night, “Make Space” hits like a call to gather rather than a command to move.
“‘Make Space’ celebrates the richness of nightlife culture: one led by diasporic communities, queer communities and collectives building spaces of their own — loudly, joyfully and on their own terms,” Ahadadream explains. Coming from the co-founder of Dialled In and More Time Records, that isn’t a marketing line — it’s a résumé.
The single lands on a serious run. Ahad’s Skrillex and Priya Ragu collaboration “TAKA” went viral out of his debut Boiler Room set (the moment Skrillex popped up on-screen to debut it live is already club folklore) and picked up support from Peggy Gou, Fred again.., Four Tet, Dixon, and Chris Lake. BBC Radio 1 stamped it as Hottest Record, Essential New Tune, AND Track ID — a triple crown last pulled off by Calvin Harris’ “How Deep Is Your Love” in 2015. More recently, “Bass Dhol” featuring Raf-Saperra hit #1 on the UK Official Charts Company’s British Asian Chart, underlining just how far his cross-cultural reach now stretches.
With millions of streams already logged and a growing catalogue that keeps pushing South Asian and diasporic sounds further into the UK’s mainstream club conversation, Ahadadream isn’t just riding the wave of a new era in club music — he’s helping build the room it happens in.
Turn it up, text your crew, and get to the front. “Make Space” is streaming everywhere now.
