London-based Future Soul visionary SUN/MGNETK teams up with Phoenix-based Lo-Fi Hip-Hop producer Paklite on ‘Don’t Change’ — an irresistible uptempo groove powered by a gorgeous soul sample, shimmering textures, and deep, heavy bass.
Blending SUN/MGNETK’s jazzy, synth-led sensibilities with Paklite’s laid-back Lo-Fi grit, ‘Don’t Change’ strikes the sweet spot between head-nod hip-hop and soul-drenched electronica. A rolling beat drives the track forward while chopped vocal layers and lush instrumentation create a warmth that feels both nostalgic and forward-facing.
“‘Don’t Change’ is about loving someone exactly as they are, through positives and perceived negatives. When Paklite sent me a sketch he’d been working on, I knew immediately what I wanted to do to get that exact point across,”

The collaboration marks a meeting of two producers with kindred approaches to sound design — both drawing from hip- hop, soul, and ambient influences, yet shaping them into something distinctive and contemporary. The result is a track that’s as suited for late-night drives as it is for vibing in the daytime.
