Landing as a follow-up to cult favourite solo cut, “Frozen,” and just in advance of his sold-out UK headline tour, “Out Of My Mind” captures Omar+ at peak collaborative flow state—and firmly in the groove.
Joining forces with Ben Sterling, one of UK dance music’s most singular new school talents, for their new single via Insomniac Records and Atlantic UK, “Out Of My Mind” sees Omar work his signature vocals into a heady maze of angular, elastic house grooves, lo-slung, textured bass, acid-y flashes and filmic crackle on a record aimed squarely at the ravers.

Capturing the hearts and minds of a new generation of dance music fans via an alchemic, if-only-you-could-bottle-it blend of his own RnB-inflected vocals, infectious lyrics and bubbling UK house grooves, Omar+ has fast become one of dance music’s most exciting and in-demand new propositions since the turn of 2025.
Already tipped by Mixmag, NME (NME 100), Beatportal, Shazam and more, statement collaborations with Luke Dean (“Make Believe”), Josh Baker (“Back It Up”), Obskür (“Serious”), and bullet tooth (“Lose Control”) saw Omar scale record heights in a matter of months, quickly landing a monthly Rinse FM show, selling out his debut headline London show at Venue M.O.T, and playing a host of standout shows at ADE last October. “Make Believe” and “Back It Up” both peaked at #58 on the UK Singles Charts, further demonstrating both the scale and veritable impact of his music.
Now back in the UK after whirlwind sold-out tours of Australia, New Zealand and the US—over 4,000 fans were on the waiting list for tickets to his show in Los Angeles last month—”Out Of My Mind” lands as a primer to his upcoming sold-out UK Tour, which kicks off in Cardiff on February 21st. Looking further ahead, Omar+ is also pencilled in for landmark debuts at EDC Vegas, Miami Music Week, and more, as well as a slot supporting Cloonee at Red Rocks alongside Kettama and Cole Knight in May.

More About Omar+
A next generation electronic artist and DJ/producer blending new-school RnB vocals with bumping house and 4×4 flavours, Omar+ is intent on carving out a lane all of his own making. Growing up just north of London and influenced by classic house grooves and pioneers like Kerri Chandler, Omar+ also dials into more contemporary influences like Traumer, Shonky & PARTYNEXTDOOR for inspiration. Trips to clubs like fabric and Phonox in London during his time at university would further crystalize his vision for how he wanted his music to sound — “something just clicked after going out to raves”, he notes — and since then, he’s been able to build out his world from the ground up. Referencing a raft of touch points from right across the dance music spectrum — from the peaktime grooves of Chris Stussy to the harder, angular beats of producers like KETTAMA and Effy, and the cut-and-paste, genre-blurring alchemy of artists like Pinkpantheress — Omar is dedicated to doing things differently. Identifying a gap in the market to mesh his own RnB vocals within these house-driven, electronic frameworks, Omar has quickly carved out a lane all of his own, with early releases ‘Lights’, ‘AfterParty’ alongside fellow breakout DJ/producer, GEE LEE, and ‘Pretty Girls’ drumming up over 2M streams before the end of 2024. Fast forward 12 months and Omar has seen his profile explode. A slew of both released and unreleased house collaborations with the likes of Josh Baker, bullet tooth, Obskür & Luke Dean turned dancefloors from London to LA upside down in 2025 — and currently sit in the crates of some of the biggest selectors in the game; from Peggy Gou to Chris Stussy to Prospa. Compounded by the success of his 2025 singles — ‘Back It Up’ alongside You & Me label boss, Josh Baker, which peaked at #58 on the OCC, and the BBC R1 Hottest Record-approved ‘Make Believe’ with Luke Dean — Omar has quickly become one of dance music’s most talked-about breakout names. ‘Make Believe’, launched with a rowdy, impromptu pop-up party in Shoreditch that saw 1000+ fans arrive at less than two hours notice, also peaked at #58 on the OCC, and was a centre-point of Omar’s sets at both Reading & Leeds Festival, where he made his debut to crowds of over 2000 people last August. Further live debuts saw Omar touchdown at Warehouse Project in Manchester, Thuishaven in Amsterdam and conquer ADE last autumn — as well as sell-out his debut London show at Venue M.O.T — before being crowned one of Mixmag’s Top Breakthrough DJs of 2025 in December. Factor in more new music on the horizon as he enters 2026, alongside sell-out headline tours of Australia & NZ, the US and the UK — where he headlines Village Underground in February — a new monthly Rinse FM show, and cosigns from Danny Howard, MK, Jamie Jones & Lancey Foux, and the rise and rise of Omar+ shows no signs of slowing down.
