On October 24th, Australian-born, Los Angeles-based producer Wax Motif returns to his Divided Souls imprint with “Run It Up,” a dark, high-octane collaboration alongside rising producer Juos and Atlanta-based singer, rapper, and songwriter 24hrs. Blending Wax’s signature bass-house edge with Juos’s forward-thinking production style and 24hrs’ smooth vocal delivery, the track emerges as a powerful late-night anthem built for both festival stages and underground warehouses alike.
Fueled by a gritty bassline and relentless energy, “Run It Up” fuses the attitude of hip-hop with the raw punch of bass-house. Its infectious hook and hypnotic groove perfectly capture Wax’s ability to merge underground energy with mainstream appeal, all while spotlighting the next generation of house innovators through his Divided Souls imprint.
Speaking on the collaboration, Wax Motif shares, “I’ve known Juos for a long time, as his first record was signed to my label Divided Souls three or four years ago. He was sending me a bunch of ideas to work on, and I saw some potential in the initial idea for Run It Up. After I worked on it, I sent it over to 24hrs (who I’d been talking about doing a record with), and had him jump on it to add his vocals—and it turned into Run It Up. It’s really cool to finally have something out with two people who I’ve been working with in the background for so long.”
The release follows Wax’s recent single “Gimme That Money,” which signaled his return to the bass-heavy sound that defined his early rise. With past collaborations including “Push Up” ft. Scrufizzer with Kyle Watson, “In My Hands” with Camden Cox, and “Better Recognize” with GRAMMY-nominated ZHU, Wax continues to prove his versatility and star power. His production credits for artists like G-Eazy, Gashi, and Tinashe further highlight his genre-spanning reach.
With “Run It Up,” Wax Motif reaffirms his position as one of dance music’s most dynamic forces, bridging underground innovation and mainstream appeal with style and precision. Together with Juos and 24hrs, he delivers a dark club anthem built to dominate both dance floors and streaming charts.
