UK producer and artist Tyler Brooker is back with a fresh, high-energy single titled “Step Aside”, featuring smooth and uplifting vocals from south-west London rapper PHAZE MUSIC. The track, signed to Deep Elite, delivers a vibrant fusion of Latin/reggaetón rhythms, melodic dance-pop, and feel-good hip-hop that captures pure summer vibes.
Inspired by Major Lazer, Tyler stepped out of his usual heavy electro-house style to create an uplifting, festival-ready banger with reggae influences, catchy leads, and positive energy. PHAZE brings thoughtful, heart-centered lyrics that encourage listeners to let go of the past, embrace joy, and be their best selves, staying true to his signature uplifting rap style.
“Remember, summertime is the season of love and joy, and regardless of the issues we all have to face in life, remember to have fun and make sure you strive to always be your best self,” says PHAZE. “This song is a reminder to enjoy yourself and let go of the past and look forward to not looking back.”
Tyler adds: “This was a pleasure to work on — I don’t normally make tracks with this type of vibe, but I had a lot of fun with it knowing I’ll have a lot of opportunities to play it in the future!”
The collaboration came together quickly after Tyler produced the beat and reached out to PHAZE, with whom he had previously worked on “Stuck in the Middle.” Vocals were recorded in London, while the track was produced in Suffolk. The result is a genre-blending summer anthem that mixes different worlds and brings back 2016-style festival energy — perfect for any time of day.
