UK vocalist Anna-Marie Johnson makes her debut on Makin’ Moves, joining producer Mark Francis for the uplifting new single “Shivers”—a soulful house anthem set to soundtrack the summer.

Blending infectious grooves with heartfelt songwriting, Shivers is an empowering record about
reconnecting with yourself, embracing healing energy, and completely letting go.

Mark Francis once again demonstrates his ability to craft timeless records. Having collaborated with an impressive roster of outstanding vocalists throughout his career, he delivers another impeccably produced release, pairing slick, driving rhythms with elegant piano arrangements that provide the perfect backdrop for Anna-Marie Johnson’s rich, emotive vocal performance to take centre stage.

Shivers is poised to become an essential addition to summer playlists and dancefloors alike and is available now from all good digital stores from Friday 7th August 2026.

Once again Makin’ Moves turning up the heat once again with the deep house vibes with Javonntte. Another instalment from our man in Detroit blending the soulful vocals with smooth bass lines. Yet bringing that capitivating energy to the dancefloor. Adding a touch to this we have Kai Alce (NDATL) ,a stalwart in the deep house scene crafting these prime cuts with his editing skills which takes the tunes up another level.

Morocco’s native Cee ElAssaad comes back again to collaborate with the UK’s afro house songstress Miss Sabrina Chyld for their debut release on Makin’ Moves! Cee as always provides his eclectic and hypnotic groove with his signature drums layered behind Sabrina’s sultry and meaningful vocals which ring true here to remind us to not dwell on the past, and utilise our time in the present.

Chicago house pioneer Ron Trent does his thing and opens up on the remix bringing that super deep vibe as only he does, building tension with a solid bassline and spine tingling synths before a final drop letting Sabrina’s vocal excel to its fullest! The Dubstrumental has also included on this limited edition Aquamarine vinyl as a bonus.
