Syncia & CASH ONLY Launch Collaborative Single Project With ‘Surrender’

International producer and label boss CASH ONLY joins forces with Syncia to launch an exciting new collaborative project, beginning with the debut single ‘Surrender,’ out 16th January on Famous When Dead Records. The release marks the start of a production partnership that unites their shared passion for bass-driven, bumpy Garage-inspired House music.

Syncia and CASH ONLY first connected when a video of Syncia performing at the iconic Back To Mine event for Days Of Disco at Pikes in Ibiza was shared with CASH by a friend asking for a track ID. The track was unshazamable, but CASH ONLY quickly discovered the artist behind it, leading him to sign the same track to Famous When Dead Records. Since then, the collaboration has grown into a full-fledged project where both artists explore and express the deeper, darker side of House music that draws on their formative Garage and Jungle roots.

Already in the studio, Syncia and CASH ONLY have a handful of tracks lined up for release, including one featuring the vocals of Elje, who has previously worked with Notion, Murphy's Law, Wilfy D, and Jack Marlow. Their NU WAVE mix has already been featured on Scott Garcia’s UKG show on Kiss FM, giving listeners a taste of their upcoming material. The duo has performed live twice recently, first at ADE for Select Radio and more recently at Basing House in London, with additional shows planned throughout 2026.

CASH ONLY comments:

“I’ve worked with loads of songwriters, vocalists, and engineers over the past couple of years and spent a lot of time trying to define my musical direction. Working with Syncia gives me the ability to express myself across a deeper and darker side of House music, inspired by my own Garage and Jungle Roots. I don’t think I’ve ever worked in the studio with anyone who is more aligned to the style and direction I want to go in, and we always have fun! We often get distracted during sessions, firing tracks at each other and appreciating each other’s musical tastes, which helps to build momentum behind the creative process as we build tracks out.” I’ll keep exploring my own projects that are more traditionally House-led, but working with Syncia gives us both licence to deviate to tracks that are a little more underground.”

Syncia comments:

“Finding someone you love working with is rare. CASH gives me the freedom and bandwidth to explore new sounds and genres and is always there to help guide the process, pushing us toward making tracks that not only reflect the sounds we love, but that truly move a dancefloor. Our guiding principle is simple: will the track connect with the crowd and create a moment they’ll remember?”

Alongside this new collaboration, CASH ONLY is preparing to unveil the CASH ONLY Chronicles Tour. The video series, created in collaboration with Henry Fisher, son of internet sensation “Big John” Fisher, who coined the word ‘BOSH’, has already launched and is gaining major views online. It combines high-energy House and Garage sets with storytelling and witty video content to engage audiences in a fresh and memorable way. The international tour will follow, with dates still being finalised, and is set to include stops in Phuket, Bangkok, London, Manchester, Birmingham, Nottingham, Amsterdam, Ibiza, and Zante, bringing a fresh, fun, and immersive approach to live performance.

CASH ONLY has spent recent years defining his sound across club floors, festival stages, and radio airwaves, establishing himself as a leading figure in the UK electronic music scene. He has continued to expand his profile through performances at major festivals and venues, including Glastonbury, Hï Ibiza, Café Mambo, Defected Croatia, Reading, Parklife, and Back To Mine’s busiest event of the summer at Pikes Ibiza, showcasing his versatility and influence across multiple genres. His label, Famous When Dead Records, has consistently delivered standout releases, including UK chart-topping singles and collaborations with both rising and established talent.

Syncia, a UK-based producer and DJ on the global House circuit with a distinct Techno-inspired edge, has already made a significant mark with his past releases and performances. His debut on Taikomochi Records soared up the charts, with subsequent tracks topping Beatport and Traxsource Techno charts, and his EP on Release LDN further cemented his reputation. His three-track package on Dense & Pika’s Kneaded Pains also claimed top positions on Beatport, highlighting his growing influence. Having previously achieved Top 10 success with Inner City’s ‘Reach’ and producing a string of notable remixes, Syncia has built a solid foundation of industry support, including BBC Radio 1 plays and endorsements from top DJs. With regular performances across the UK and international showcases from Miami to Ibiza, he has proven himself a versatile and compelling presence on the global electronic music stage.

With ‘Surrender’, Syncia and CASH ONLY set the tone for a new collaborative series, delivering bass-forward energy, infectious grooves, and fresh creative momentum. Fans and DJs can expect more releases in the coming months, further cementing both artists’ presence in the UK electronic music scene and expanding the growing presence of Famous When Dead Records.
