Crusy Remixes STBAN’s ‘Baila Conmigo’ On Flamenca Records
Rising spanish star Crusy steps in to deliver steamy dance floor edit of ‘Baila Conmigo’ by STBAN out via Flamenca Records.
Pulsating with sultry Latin heat and perfectly primed for summertime dance floors, rising Spanish star Crusy delivers a steamy edit of label boss STBAN’s original single ‘Baila Conmigo’, out August 1st on FLAMENCA Records via Toolroom.
The Madrid-based producer shows natural restraint with his edit, resisting any urge to go for obvious drops, instead building the tension slowly but surely. Allowing the original topline to drift in and out of the production, Crusy gradually adds an almost intimate level of energy, layering warm guitars, undulating keyboard chords and chugging percussion. The result is a track that begs the body to move, designed to bring music fans onto the dance floor to groove together. It’s a remix perfectly in step with STBAN’s vision to bring Flamenco and Latin House to the masses.
“I’ve fallen in love with Flamenco,” Crusy said, “its hypnotic Spanish voice and purely Spanish chords stir something deep in my soul. It’s not just music; it’s emotion in its rawest, most beautiful form. Being able to remix it and put my own touch there was a challenge but I am very proud of the reaction every time I play it in a day time event.”
Supported by the likes of Carl Cox, Dom Dolla, Nic Fanciulli, Louie Vega, James Hype, Fatboy Slim, Adam Beyer and John Summit, Crusy has more than made a name for himself in an extremely small space of time. Releasing standout tracks on Toolroom, including ‘Karma’, ‘El Baso’, ‘Attracted’ and ‘Unknown’, as well as singles on Defected, Hot Since 82’s Knee Deep In Sound, Franky Wah’s Shen, Hugel’s Make The Girls Dance and Dombreski’s Process, he now joins the FLAMENCA Records family, adding the ‘Baila Conmigo’ remix as the latest chapter in his growing story.
