New York’s dance scene has a new name to watch. TEMIL, the resident DJ at Palosanto NYC, just released his debut single, “Save Me.” The song fuses Afro-house rhythms and melodic electronic vibes and shows why he’s become one of the city’s most exciting new DJs, mixing the deep grooves he learned in Montreal’s house scene with fresh New York energy.

After taking a break from music when he first moved to the city, TEMIL came back stronger in 2023. His regular sets at Palosanto, where he’s played alongside big names like Moblack and Kasango helped shape his signature sound: percussive, soulful, and built to move crowds. “Save Me” captures this perfectly, with its bouncing congas, warm bassline, and atmospheric melodies that feel both nostalgic and new.

The track’s structure keeps DJs in mind, with smart transitions and enough space to mix creatively. You can hear influences from artists like LevyM and UVITA, but TEMIL puts his own spin on the afro-house sound, keeping it deep yet accessible.

For anyone following New York’s growing afro-house scene, “Save Me” marks TEMIL as an artist to watch and not just as a DJ who knows how to work a room but now as a producer with his own stories to tell. The single is out now everywhere, and if his live sets are any indication,
