Manuel Riva & Great Adamz - Shake (Single)

Manuel Riva & Great Adamz – Shake

Following a #1 spot on Music Week’s Black Music Chart with their electrifying Afrohouse single ‘Umada,’ UK Afrobeats powerhouse Great Adamz and Romanian DJ and producer Manuel Riva are joining forces once more for another powerful collaboration, ‘Shake’. Set for release today, May 14th via Radikal Records & Forward Music Agency, this vibrant blend of rhythm, Latin grooves, and intimate melodies is poised to light up the early days of summer.

While ‘Umada’ delivered club-ready soundscapes, ‘Shake’ invites listeners into the heat and passion of sun-soaked parties and long, hazy days on the beach. Compelling audiences to dance, the track builds through layered percussion, smooth beats, and traditional instrumentation to create a warm, romantic, and inviting atmosphere. Adamz showcases his signature Afrobeats vocals, driven by the infectious hook “shake,” which blends seamlessly with Riva’s Latin production – resulting in a compelling cultural fusion.

The release arrives during a major moment for Great Adamz, with a series of No.1 spots on Music Week’s Black Music Chart with ‘Umada’ and previous hit single ‘Jeje’. The rising Afrobeat star is also part of the MOBO Awards alumni, having joined the prestigious MOBO Unsung Class of 2022, where he collaborated on a collective album and toured alongside artists including Crae Wolf and Zitah. Adamz and Crae Wolf later went on to create ‘Kilon So’, which remains one of Adamz’s biggest records to date. Adamz made a lasting impression at the MOBO Awards this year, sparking a top-trending topic on Twitter as users gushed over his iconic fashion choice on the star-studded carpet.

Manuel Riva is a Billboard-charting Romanian DJ and producer with over 200 million streams worldwide, and a defining voice in melodic and deep house since launching his project in 2015.

His breakout single ‘Mhm Mhm’ reached the Top 20 on the Billboard Dance Club Chart and topped Shazam charts across multiple territories. The follow-up ‘Miami’ with Alexandra Stan broke into the Billboard Dance Club Top 10, surpassed 20 million streams, and became the official anthem of Neversea Festival. Most recently, ‘Matahale’ — his collaboration with Goldcher and Irina Rimes — has drawn support from Adriatique, Moblack, and Rivo, signaling a sharp move into the deeper, more global end of the house spectrum.

Riva has received an MTV Europe Music Awards nomination and performed at major festivals including Untold and Neversea, with DJ support from Tiësto, Oliver Heldens, Sam Feldt, and Fedde Le Grand.

Arriving May 14th, ‘Shake’ captures the rhythm and warmth of summer in full bloom, as Great Adamz and Manuel Riva weave their sounds into something effortlessly magnetic. It’s a meeting of worlds – delivering an anthem that will echo across dancefloors and sunlit shores alike.
