Nia Archives Launches Up Ya Archives With Debut Single “Get Loose”

Nia Archives doesn’t mess around, launching her own label, Up Ya Archives, and dropping the first release, “Get Loose”, a fast, fun and full-volume collaboration with Bristol newcomer Cheetah. No build-up, no long intro. Straight to the point: it bangs.

The track leans into soca energy-whistles, carnival percussion, and call-and-response vocals, but stays rooted in jungle. It moves fast, but there’s still space in the production allowing Cheetah’s voice to cut through cleanly; Nia’s parts feel instinctive. It's loud, loose, and designed for movement.

Cheetah feels like the perfect first co-sign. Young, self-taught, and fully tuned into the free party side of jungle. He’s been bubbling for a while, “X-Rated” and “Freaks” turned heads last year, and this collab gives him a deserved push. He calls “Get Loose” an ode to soundsystem culture, that moment when you’re buried in bass with no distractions. He’s not romanticising it. He’s just saying it how it is. Direct, simple, sweaty.

The video, shot in a warehouse in East London, leans into the DIY, gritty side of raving. There’s no plot, no gloss, just bodies moving and lights flashing. It captures something real, something most club promo misses. This isn’t about VIP access. It’s about real people, real sound, and real movement.

This is more than just a single, it’s a statement of intent. Up Ya Archives is a home for everything new-gen jungle: the underground, the emerging, and the overlooked. And Nia isn’t just attaching her name to the logo, she’s curating, collaborating, and investing real time. Her history with Cheetah goes back to Bandcamp deep-dives and early BBC Radio 1 sets. Now they’re in the studio together, building tracks and bouncing ideas.

The label’s launch sits alongside a new monthly NTS Radio residency, kicking off last Friday with an hour-long show featuring Nia and Cheetah B2B. That’s not filler content, it’s how this scene sustains itself: community, visibility, and a steady flow of raw, club-ready music.

If “Get Loose” is any indicator, Up Ya Archives will be loud, fast, and grounded in real dancefloor culture. And with eight to twelve releases planned this year, it looks like Nia’s not slowing down anytime soon.
