Charles Webster & Atmos Blaq Unleash Sonic Liberation with “Free” on Stay True Sounds

Legendary UK producer Charles Webster returns with another bold statement of creative freedom in his latest single, Free, a collaborative masterpiece with South African sonic trailblazer Atmos Blaq. Released via Stay True Sounds, Free is the second single off Webster’s highly anticipated project, following the poignant Bakulindele featuring Muzi.

Unlike conventional studio albums, this record is born from a grassroots connection—crafted using beats sourced from some of the most gifted artists in South Africa’s underground electronic music scene and refined at the iconic Flame Studios in Johannesburg.

Free is not just a song—it’s an experience. The track channels Webster’s renowned atmospheric touch, layering ambient textures and minimal soundscapes over the signature three-kick rhythm that defines the 3-step genre. The collaboration with Atmos Blaq, a rising force from Dobsonville, Soweto, brings a raw and experimental edge, fusing Webster’s polished production with Blaq’s forward-thinking energy.

“There’s no pressure to make a hit. It’s about making music that resonates from the heart.”

says Webster

That ethos is embedded in every beat of Free, a track that feels both introspective and expansive.

“I got to be free… we created magic.”

Atmos Blaq agrees:

Indeed, Free is a genre-bridging soundscape—an expression of artistic liberation that connects generations, cultures, and sound philosophies. It’s a sonic testament to what happens when experience meets innovation, when house meets heritage, and when two visionaries unite with one goal: to be free.
