Gentleman’s Dub Club and Kaya Fyah team up on Ain’t Got Time

Ain’t Got Time landed as the kind of release that works in two directions at once: easy to live with at home, and easy to reach for in a set. The May 14, 2026 digital single came out as a one-track package, Ain’t Got Time feat. Kaya Fyah, on GDC Recordings, and that stripped-back presentation is part of its appeal.

There is no album campaign fogging the edges here. Gentleman’s Dub Club and Kaya Fyah put the focus on one tune and let it travel, with listings on Reggaeville, Beatport and Audiomack pointing to the same practical result: a track built for circulation across the places reggae fans and selectors actually use. For listeners, that means a clean, direct cut that does not need context to make sense. For DJs, it means something that can move quickly through a crate, a playlist or a dancehall slot without demanding extra setup.

The pairing makes sense on paper and even more so in the way the record is framed. Gentleman’s Dub Club were formed in 2006 in Leeds, started out in the basement of number 44 Headingley Lane, and have grown into a nine-piece outfit known for dub, ska and roots reggae. Their history includes major UK festival stages at Glastonbury, Bestival and Boomtown, which tells you exactly why a concise single like Ain’t Got Time fits them so naturally. This is a band used to making a big sound land fast.

Kaya Fyah brings another layer of reach. Her bios place her as a British, South African and Jamaican vocalist rooted in North London’s junglist and sound-system culture, with early stage experience alongside the Congo Natty Family at age 13. That background gives Ain’t Got Time a wider current, one that can speak to reggae heads, jungle listeners and anyone tuned in to bass-heavy crossover music. The collaboration feels less like a one-off feature and more like a meeting point between related scenes.

The result is a track with selector value at its center. Ain’t Got Time is immediate, memorable and portable, which is exactly why it works in a living room, a streaming queue or a sound-system set. In a crowded release week, that kind of no-waste single is the one that keeps earning its place in the current rotation.
