Straight out of OCHO’s LA functions and now tapping into London, 8onthebeat keeps his momentum going with “CAKE,” a new collaboration with UK artist Lloyd P-White.
Miami, FL (Monday, April 27, 2026): The Los Angeles-born, Mexican-American DJ/producer—known to fans as OCHO—pairs up with Lloyd for a track that feels immediate and transatlantic. The release is accompanied by a FaceTime clip shared on Instagram: OCHO in LA, Lloyd in London, checking in, talking summer, and deciding—on the spot—to drop the record. Built on a direct, bass-forward bounce, “CAKE” sounds exactly like the environments OCHO has been cultivating—tight, loud, and intentional.
This collaboration marks a natural next step in 8onthebeat’s current run, which extends beyond music releases. Alongside bookings like I Love Micheladas and his own Privadas con el OCHO, he’s expanded into a pop-up series that’s moved through spaces like Villa’s Tacos at Grand Central Market—hosting a homecoming-style function—as well as their “Closed But Still Cooking” series and La Michoacana. The result is a growing footprint that blurs the line between nightlife and the Mexican-American spaces his audience already inhabits.
That movement reflects a more defined identity OCHO has been building. He’s been vocal about being a pocho—a Mexican-American artist creating electronic music for his community while building spaces that reflect it. Lloyd P-White brings a distinct edge to “CAKE,” his London delivery cutting cleanly through the production. The collaboration feels effortless—two artists from different scenes who understand exactly how a record like this should land.
On “CAKE,” OCHO and Lloyd P-White lock in—and don’t miss. “CAKE” is out now on all streaming platforms.
