Axel Boy links up with Princess Superstar for their high-energy collaboration “On Time,” arriving March 20 via Deadbeats.
A meeting of two distinct yet complementary styles, “On Time” wastes no time making an impact. The track surges forward with UK garage-inspired swing, bright basslines, and relentless momentum, while Princess Superstar’s unmistakable vocals cut cleanly through the production. The result is a bold, club-ready cut built for peak-time moments and designed to translate seamlessly from speakers to dancefloors.
Reflecting on the collaboration, Axel Boy shared his excitement:
“When Deadbeats linked me up with Princess Superstar, I was over the moon. I’ve been a huge fan of hers for years. We had a really fun creative process—bouncing ideas online and then getting in the studio together in Bath. Our sounds combine perfectly, and it’s a real honour to work with such a legendary artist.”
For Princess Superstar, the experience was equally organic and inspiring:
“I loved working with Axel Boy—his tracks are so soulful and beautiful, and I knew we would create magic together. We recorded this in the countryside near Bristol, with sheep outside the studio—it was so special. It’s a song about time, how everything happens for a reason, and even when things feel like they’re falling apart, maybe everything is right on time.”
A staple of the Deadbeats roster, Axel Boy has built a reputation for cinematic, high-impact productions that blur the lines between UK garage, dubstep, and drum & bass. His work has earned support from global heavyweights including Skrillex, Zeds Dead, NGHTMRE, The Chainsmokers, and Tiësto, solidifying his place among the UK’s most exciting bass music exports.
Meanwhile, Princess Superstar remains a defining force in dance music culture, with releases on Armada Music and Studio !K7, and a legacy cemented by her era-defining hit Perfect (Exceeder) alongside Mason. Collaborations with icons such as Armand Van Helden and Todd Terry further underscore her enduring influence on global dancefloors.
“On Time” feels like a full-circle moment—two artists from different corners of electronic music coming together to create something both powerful and personal. It’s energetic yet heartfelt, crafted for those hands-in-the-air moments that define the live experience. When Axel Boy’s cinematic intensity meets Princess Superstar’s commanding presence, the result is more than just a collaboration—it’s a statement record arriving exactly when it’s meant to.
