MALUGI has officially landed on the renowned Ninja Tune label. The German producer recently released his latest single, ‘Right Thing,’ via the label’s Technicolour imprint. For this release, he has teamed up with UK singer-songwriter Paige Cavell to craft a track that leans heavily into the peak-time optimism that has become a hallmark of his sound.
On ‘Right Thing,’ Cavell’s vocals beautifully trace the narrative of finding a love that finally feels certain, singing about the discovery of ‘something true’ and the realization that a connection is genuine. MALUGI builds a sonic landscape around that sentiment, utilizing the heavy-hitting, uplifting production style he is known for. He successfully transforms a deeply personal lyric into an anthem designed for a room full of strangers to experience together.
This communal spirit is the throughline of MALUGI’s entire catalog. He has built a reputation on the philosophy that dance music functions best as a shared release valve—a space where individuals can shed their egos, stop performing, and simply move. As a neurodivergent artist, MALUGI has frequently spoken about finding a sense of belonging on the dancefloor that he struggled to locate elsewhere, and that lived experience directly informs his creative output. ‘Right Thing’ fits perfectly into that mission, turning a big emotional moment into a collective experience.
The single arrives during what is shaping up to be MALUGI’s busiest summer to date. He has already delivered high-energy sets at major festivals including Parklife, Sonar, Hideout, Tomorrowland, and Awakenings. Additionally, he recently performed at David Guetta’s UNVRS residency in Ibiza, with a highly anticipated support slot for Sammy Virji at London’s Finsbury Park scheduled for August.
Paige Cavell has spent the last few years establishing herself as one of the most sought-after vocalists in the dance music scene. She has lent her voice to records with industry heavyweights such as John Summit, Kaskade, and ACRAZE, with her collaborations accumulating tens of millions of streams. Her track ‘Tears’ propelled her onto a tour with John Summit, which included a sold-out performance at Brixton Academy and a massive show at the 18,000-capacity Kia Forum in Los Angeles. Beyond her session work, she continues to build a robust solo career, maintaining the raw, direct songwriting style that has defined her rise.
‘Right Thing’ is out now on Ninja Tune via Technicolour. Stream it below.
