[GLOBAL RELEASE – 7th November, 2025] – A powerful new single has emerged from an unlikely international collaboration, as Rotterdam producer David Oron and UK artist Freya Wolf (DubWulf) announce the release of their genre-fusing track, “Family.” Featuring the dynamic vocals of Vanessa Marcia, the song is a heartfelt message for a world in need of connection.

The track’s unique story began across the North Sea, with the duo’s creative synergy transcending borders and geographical distance. The collaboration brought together Oron’s distinctive production style and DubWulf’s poignant lyricism, proving that shared vision can overcome any divide. This cross-continental genesis is a testament to the song’s core message of unity and partnership.

For DubWulf, the track marks a bold and exciting new direction, as she ventures into reggae-infused sounds for the first time. The result is a fresh fusion that blends the soulful pulse of reggae with her own distinctive style.

Musically, the track seamlessly blends the soulful, rhythmic pulse of reggae with modern production for a sound that is both classic and current. The result is an infectious groove that feels immediately uplifting while offering something new and unexpected.

Lyrically, the song is a powerful statement on diversity, union and inclusivity. Freya Wolf’s heartfelt words resonate with themes of culture and family, reminding us of the strength found in our collective voices.

“I’ve always been inspired by reggae, and creating this song with David was an incredible experience. It felt like a natural progression, and I wanted to write something that celebrated our differences while reminding us that we are all part of one large global family,” says Freya Wolf. “The collaboration with David and Vanessa was a perfect example of that message coming to life through music.”

“Creating ‘Family’ was a truly organic process,” adds David Oron. “We aimed to honor the reggae influences while bringing a modern edge to the production. The moment Freya’s lyrics were added, the song’s soul truly came alive.”

With its uplifting sound and universal message, “Family” is more than just a track—it’s an anthem for today’s world. The combined talents of David Oron, DubWulf, and Vanessa Marcia have created a song that spreads hope and positivity, leaving a lasting impact on listeners.

The Surinamese language, food, and music play a major role in Vanessa’s life. And no party is complete without gingabiri, or ginger beer. This music teacher—who runs a foundation for talent development for vulnerable groups, among others—enjoys it immensely. “I learned to cook from my mother when I was

9 years old. Even then, I regularly cooked entire meals for our family, and gradually I developed my own style. Whatever I make, even if it’s just potatoes with sprouts (which doesn’t happen often, by the way), I always add something of my own. Surinamese style, you might say… Garlic, onions, Maggi cubes, and peppers provide that specific flavor, as does ginger. During parties, it is customary for us to make ginger beer. I prefer the fresh version, but others make it very sweet or spicy by adding Madame Jeanette pepper. For me, a good ginger beer is nice and sweet and a little spicy. I like to add lemon and pineapple juice, and once it’s seasoned to taste, this drink is really delicious and thirst-quenching. My children (aged 3 and almost 1) and my partner also enjoy it. He is from Nigeria and I am originally Afro-Surinamese, so we ultimately have the same roots. This is not only reflected in the basis of our cuisines, but also in our love of Afro music and good food and drink.
