All This Time by Sonny Fodera & Jazzy
Tune of the Week: How Sonny Fodera & Jazzy's "All This Time" Bottled the Sound of Summer
You know the one. That track. The one that drops mid-set and sends a jolt through the crowd. Phones go up, strangers sing along like they’ve known it for years, and for a few minutes, everyone is locked into the same euphoric moment. Every season has one, and for summer 2025, Sonny Fodera and Jazzy have just delivered a prime contender with "All This Time".
Released today, 18 July 2025, on Fodera’s own Solotoko imprint, this track is a masterclass in modern vocal house. It’s built on a simple, yet irresistible lyrical hook—"all this time I've been missing you, I've been wishing you, you are mine"—that feels destined for festival singalongs. The track’s power was undeniable when Capital Dance shared a clip of Fodera bringing Jazzy on stage for a surprise live debut at Silverworks in London. As the crowd erupted, the caption said it all: they "knew they were witnessing something special".
This wasn’t a one-off. Fan footage has flooded social media, painting a picture of a track with an immediate, visceral connection. But this anthem is no happy accident. It’s the result of a perfect storm: a timeless musical formula meeting two artists at the absolute peak of their powers. This is the story of how a summer anthem was forged.
Part I: The Anatomy of an Anthem
The Architect: Sonny Fodera's Journey to the Top
To understand a hit like "All This Time," you need to understand its architect. Sonny Fodera's career is a blueprint for strategic evolution, a masterclass in moving from the underground to global domination without losing the plot.
His story didn’t start with house music, but with hip-hop beats in his hometown of Adelaide, Australia. The game changed when, at 18, he witnessed a set from the Chicago house legend Derrick Carter. That night, Fodera found his calling in the four-to-the-floor rhythm. His early productions were a tribute to his idols—Carter, DJ Sneak, Frankie Knuckles—defined by chunky, jacking basslines designed for dark, sweaty clubs.
This raw authenticity caught the ear of the scene’s gatekeepers. A remix for Chicago stalwart Gene Farris led to Fodera signing with Green Velvet’s iconic Cajual Records. His first two albums, Moving Forward (2013) and After Parties & Aeroplanes (2014), cemented his underground credentials and earned him a nod as one of Mixmag's "Hot Six".
The next chapter marked a pivotal shift. Signing with the UK powerhouse Defected Records, Fodera’s sound began to evolve. His 2016 album Frequently Flying embraced more pop sensibilities and powerful lead vocals. "Defected are known for great vocal soulful house," he told Mixmag, "so they really encouraged me to work with more vocalists." This move propelled him into the stratosphere, landing him a BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix and headline slots at festivals like Creamfields and EDC Las Vegas.
With his profile soaring, Fodera launched his own label, Solotoko, giving him complete creative control. The imprint became a hit factory, churning out the Gold-certified "One Night" with MK, "Wired" with Ella Eyre, and the huge Diplo collab "Turn Back Time".
Of course, this journey towards the mainstream has its purists. A scan of DJ forums and Reddit reveals some early fans lamenting his move away from the raw, jacking sound of his Cajual days. One user pinpointed the shift exactly: "once he signed with defected it was all down hill," while another described his newer material as "soulless" compared to the "tech magic" of his old work. It’s the classic tension between underground cred and commercial success. But Fodera’s path wasn't "selling out"; it was a calculated evolution. He built a foundation on authenticity, used a major label to reach a global audience, and then consolidated his brand with his own imprint. It's this strategy that has made him one of the most in-demand DJs on the planet.
The Voice: The Unstoppable Rise of Jazzy
If Fodera is the architect, Dublin's Jazzy is the soul. The singer-songwriter, Yasmine Byrne, has had one of the most meteoric rises in recent memory, transforming from a local talent (who once worked at Tesco) into a record-breaking international star.
Her breakthrough came in late 2021 as the voice of "Make Me Feel Good" by Irish duo Belters Only. The track was a phenomenon, hitting No. 4 in the UK and, crucially, No. 1 in Ireland—the first Irish dance act to top their home chart since the legendary "Maniac 2000".
Capitalising on this momentum, Jazzy dropped her debut solo single, "Giving Me," in March 2023. The song was a monster, peaking at No. 3 in the UK and again hitting No. 1 in Ireland. This made her the first Irish solo female artist to top that chart in over a decade. Even more historic, she became the first Irish female artist ever to reach No. 1 on Spotify, a landmark moment that announced her arrival on the global stage.
Now a BRIT-nominated artist citing influences from Lauryn Hill to Raye, Jazzy is one of the most sought-after vocalists in dance music. Her partnerships with Fodera on previous tracks like "Somedays" and "Life Lesson" have already proven their creative chemistry is electric. Her ascent provides a new blueprint for success: build momentum with a key feature, leverage it for a massive solo debut, and solidify your status with A-list collaborations.
The Verdict & Where to Catch Them
The reaction to "All This Time" confirms what we already suspected: it's a certified anthem. The buzz is organic, built on proven chemistry and raw dancefloor energy. Their previous work together, like 2024's "Somedays" (with D.O.D.), was hailed by outlets like Electro Wow as the work of "The Greatest House Music Trio," with fans begging for more.
The industry has taken note. Upon release, "All This Time" was immediately added to major Apple Music playlists like "Today's Hits," "danceXL," and the essential "Ibiza 2025," positioning it as a definitive summer hit.

Part II: On The Radar - This Week's Essential Drops
Beyond our Tune of the Week, two other huge tracks have landed that demand your attention.
The Big Release: AudioJacked Unleashes 'Beat Like Thunder'
Brace yourselves. This week, we're proud to unleash our own formidable production from the AudioJacked camp: the epic vocal anthem, "Beat Like Thunder". This is a full-frontal sonic assault engineered to command the main stage. A tense, atmospheric intro builds into a peak-time monster, unleashing wobbling, warping basslines and an aggressive, energetic drop.
But the track's secret weapon is its vocalist, Honey B Sweet. Her powerful, commanding performance is the soul and heartbeat of the track. While she might be a new name to some, Honey B Sweet is a seasoned pro, a "hitmaker" with fierce energy who has quietly been the secret voice and pen behind global hits. The Australian rapper and vocalist was the writer and singer on a chart-topping track with Dutch superstar Afrojack, "Boom Boom Pow," and her credits include work for Spinnin' Records, Sony Music, and even L'oréal.
By securing a vocalist of this calibre, we're making a clear statement. "Beat Like Thunder" proves that independent platforms can access an elite global talent pool to create world-class music, levelling the playing field and pushing the entire scene forward.
The Revival: Nicky Romero & Barmuda's 'Fade Away'
Every so often, a track arrives that feels like a homecoming. "Fade Away," the new collaboration between Dutch legend Nicky Romero and vocalist Barmuda, is one such track. Released on Protocol Recordings, it's a slice of euphoric progressive house that has the community buzzing.
Nicky Romero is a name synonymous with the golden era of EDM. His iconic productions like "Toulouse" and the Avicii collaboration "I Could Be the One" defined a generation. On "Fade Away," he teams up with Barmuda, a talented Dutch singer-songwriter with over 30 million streams and credits for Warner and Universal.
The track is a masterclass in festival-ready emotion, but it’s the reaction that tells the real story. An online discussion on Reddit was filled with pure joy. One user declared, "This isn't golden progressive house, this is platinum...this is f****ng platinum." Others called it "top tier" and celebrated what they see as a wider trend: "great to see progressive house making it's return with all the og artists making it again". It’s a powerful reminder of the timeless appeal of a soaring melody and hands-in-the-air energy, potentially heralding a major revival for a beloved genre.
Part III: The State of the Dancefloor
Looking at this week’s essential releases, it’s clear the dance music landscape is in a vibrant and healthy state.
First, "All This Time" proves the enduring power of polished, vocal-driven house, showcasing a potent formula: an established producer teaming up with a breakout star to create a commercially explosive and emotionally resonant anthem.
Second, AudioJacked’s "Beat Like Thunder" highlights the democratisation of music production. It proves independent labels can compete at the highest level by leveraging a global talent pool and featuring world-class, behind-the-scenes hitmakers like Honey B Sweet.
Finally, the fervent reception for "Fade Away" signals a powerful undercurrent of nostalgia. It shows a massive appetite for the classic progressive house sound, led by one of its original architects.
Together, these tracks paint a picture of a dynamic ecosystem where chart-topping superstars, ambitious independents, and returning legends all have a crucial role to play. The state of the dancefloor is strong.
