Bakar Pays Tribute to a UK Garage Staple With “Lonyo!”

Bakar kicks off his next musical chapter with “Lonyo!,” a vibrant single that reimagines the 2000 UK garage classic “Summer of Love” by producer Lonyo. Rather than simply looping the sample, the genre-blending London artist taps into the original’s infectious energy and infuses it with his own modern flair.

“Lonyo!” rides a bouncy, sun-soaked groove, bridging the nostalgia of the early-2000s club scene with Bakar’s forward-thinking, genre-fluid approach. It’s an unmistakable nod to UK dance culture, but with fresh textures and rhythms that give the track its own identity.

As the first taste of his new rollout, “Lonyo!” signals that Bakar is ready to push boundaries once again—honoring the past while shaping the sound of the future.
