STBAN, Varoc & Furia Drop ‘LUZ (Club Mix)’ on FLAMENCA Records: Varoc Interview

FLAMENCA Records bring their inaugural year to an end with a single that perfectly encapsulates the imprint’s mission. ‘LUZ (Club Mix)’ sees label boss STBAN join forces with Spanish stars Varoc and Furia for a collaboration that translates Vinnie Dollar’s original 2023 single through flamenco, electronica and trap, to stunning effect.

The original recording of LUZ by Vinnie Dollar has already clocked up an incredible 10 million views on YouTube alone. In this 2025 reworking the pace is turned up but the raw, Arabesque tones of Vinnie’s vocal remain just as evocative, providing a powerful backbone for the electronic elements to twist themselves around. The result is a perfect fusion of urban and electronica from Furia and youngster Varoc, with sultry shades of Flamenco House from FLAMENCA boss STBAN.

With so many different genres on display it could have easily turned into a muddled, disparate edit but the flawless production is instead testament to the shared vision of all four artists. As the vocal’s sentiment transcends language barriers, its combination with instrumentation provides an organic sense of movement, a crescendo of sound and emotion that bar by bar takes the track from the town square to the global dance floor.

The single is the final track of 2025 to drop from label boss STBAN. In the space of just six months, the DJ and producer has emphatically steered FLAMENCA Records onto the world stage. Eight singles, a major distribution deal with Toolroom Records, and FLAMENCA Live events at AirBeat One, Montreux Jazz Festival and Tantra Ibiza have combined to build some serious hype under one of Flamenco House music’s most passionate producers.

Furia, who runs label XTR Records, is renowned for his fusion of melodic and Afro-centred beats. Creating a dark, deep and melancholic body of work, his catalogue has amassed over 5 million streams on Spotify alone, earning him regular placements on top playlists around the world.

At the age of just 19 Varoc has already performed on some of the planet’s biggest stages, including Tomorrowland, BPM Costa Rica, Medusa, Weekend Festival and more. The teenager also hosts radio shows on Los 40 Dance and Ibiza Global Radio, one of the only artists to have shows on both. With the track dropping today, we thought it was high time we caught up with the talented teenager to find out more…

Varoc, welcome to EDM House Network! Can you tell us where you are right now and what you’re up to?

Hi, it’s a pleasure to have this interview with you. I’m Varoc, a DJ and producer from Madrid, Spain. I’m 19 years old and passionate about electronic music. I’ve performed over 200 DJ sets and I’m currently working on my new songs and productions.

In addition to Vinnie’s vocals, the track also features co-productions from Furia and STBAN, the head of FlamencaRecords. How do you approach a multi-collaboration like this and still make sure your own sound stands out?

Working with Furia and STBAN was key to this track. They’re both experienced producers and artists with strong creative visions. Their perspective helped us merge our different musical approaches into one cohesive and well-balanced concept.

You’ve been producing since you were 12. What was your first track, and what do you think when you listen back to it now?My first release was “No Limit’s.” When I listen to it now, it reminds me of my beginnings — a time full of curiosity, passion, and the drive to learn.

We have to say it — for 19, you’ve already achieved so much! Has electronic music always been your passion? What first drew you to it?

I’d say electronic music gives meaning to my life. From a very young age, it became my way of expressing creativity and emotion — both through mixing and through music production. It’s my escape, my purpose, and my way to connect with people.

Which producers and DJs do you look up to?

Right now, my main inspirations are Black CoffeeCalvin HarrisDavid GuettaHugelDiploFred Again, and many others. I also have a special connection with Andrea Oliva — I’ve had the opportunity to perform with him several times, opening his shows, and it’s always been an incredible experience.

You’ve performed at some of the world’s biggest festivals, including Tomorrowland.
How was that experience, and will you be back next year?

I’ve experienced so many unforgettable moments in my career — real dreams come true.
Performing at Tomorrowland 2024 was one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. Traveling to Belgium and sharing the stage with some of the world’s top electronic artists was something I’ll never forget. Another highlight was performing this summer at A Summer Story, playing for more than 5,000 people and feeling a deep connection with the crowd. And just a few months ago, I had the chance to present my new track “Luz” at the Tomorrowland Store in Ibiza, one of the island’s most iconic spots.

You host a weekly radio show on two of Spain’s leading stations, Los 40 Dance and Ibiza Global Radio. How important is radio for introducing your sound to new fans, and how far do your sets reach around the world?

Very few DJs have a show on both Los 40 Dance and Ibiza Global Radio, and that pushes me to constantly search for the best new music. It allows listeners from Ibiza, Spain, and around the world to enjoy my sets each week. It’s also helped me build a strong presence on two of the most influential radio stations in the electronic and Ibiza scenes.

This is your first release on Flamenca Records. Do you feel the “flamenco house” sound is starting to grow outside of Spain?

Yes, definitely. There’s a growing trend of fusion between styles — more and more producers are experimenting with cultural and sonic blends, creating new genres that connect with audiences across different countries.

You’re about to leave your teenage years behind. Where do you see yourself by the end of your twenties?

Honestly, I try to focus on the present — enjoying each moment, each song, each show…
and letting myself be guided by energy and music.

Keanu Silva, Kickbait & Carpoolboy Reimagine Classic with ‘Rhythm of Life’

Keanu Silva, Kickbait, and Carpoolboy reimagine Corona’s 1993 classic The Rhythm of the Night as a blazing UK Speed House anthem.

Keanu Silva, Kickbait, and Carpoolboy have joined forces for ‘Rhythm of Life’, a high-energy reimagining of Corona‘s legendary 1993 Eurodance classic ‘The Rhythm of the Night’. The track uses the original master vocal stems of the iconic 90s hook and builds around them with fresh original verses and a blazing UK Speed House production running at over 140 BPM, pairing pitch-bent vocal chops and euphoric old-school rave stabs with a driving modern bassline.

The result sits at an interesting crossover point between nostalgia and club currency, keeping the recognisable vocal that made ‘The Rhythm of the Night’ a global hit while wrapping it in a sound that is firmly rooted in what is dominating dancefloors right now. UK Speed House has been one of the more exciting movements in club music over the past couple of years, and ‘Rhythm of Life’ leans into its energy without losing the warmth of the source material.

Keanu Silva brings a track record of millions of streams and strong editorial support to the release, while Kickbait and Carpoolboy contribute the production weight and club-ready instincts that give the track its modern edge.

‘Rhythm of Life’ is out now and primed for peak-time floors.

Allan Piziano, Luis Erre & Celeda Drop ‘Good Time’

Published

on

HoTL Records bring together Allan Piziano, Luis Erre & Celeda with ‘Good Time’, landing just as the Ibiza season gets underway.

HoTL Records bring together three defining voices in house music with ‘Good Time’, a new collaboration between Latin house pioneer Allan Piziano, tribal house producer Luis Erre, and iconic vocalist Celeda, best known for her seminal ‘Dance Music Is The Answer’. The tune arrives as the Ibiza season gets underway and temperatures in the northern hemisphere continue to rise, landing at exactly the right moment for what it is.

Widely regarded as a leading figure in the Mexican Latin house scene, Allan Piziano joins forces with Venezuelan veteran Luis Erre, whose signature Electrotribal sound has made him a recognisable name across the global club circuit. Together they craft a driving, club-ready groove built on rhythmic percussion and tech basslines, with Celeda’s commanding vocal presence anchoring the whole thing. Her voice has topped global dance charts for decades, and on Good Time it delivers the same sense of dancefloor liberation that made her a house music icon in the first place.

Good Time captures the tribal-soul energy that defines the HoTL Records catalogue and is the kind of record that builds momentum across a season rather than peaking on release day. As the summer stretch begins in earnest, it is already shaping up as one to watch on floors that lean toward the Latin and tribal side of house.

Promotional photo connected to Hardwell and Sound Rush’s Iris, featured in New EDM Friday Sep 4.

New EDM Friday Sep 4 brings new music from Hardwell, Sound Rush, ARTBAT, David Guetta, DubVision, Sara Landry, ARE WE DREAMING, and more.

Hardwell & Sound Rush – Iris

Hardwell and Sound Rush have come together on Iris, a hardstyle release through Revealed Recordings. The track brings Hardwell further into the harder direction he has been exploring across recent releases, while Sound Rush bring in the hardstyle sound that has shaped their own catalogue. Iris had already been heard in Hardwell’s live sets before release, including EDC Las Vegas 2026, giving the collaboration a clear live history before this week’s New EDM Friday. The release also continues Hardwell’s recent run on Revealed Recordings, following tracks such as Bang On The Drums with Bassjackers, Turn Up The Bass with W&W, and Bangkok with W&W. With both Dutch acts joining forces on a 160 BPM hardstyle track, Iris brings one of the week’s harder releases into New EDM Friday Sep 4.

ARTBAT & David Guetta – Somebody That I Used To Know

ARTBAT and David Guetta take on Somebody That I Used To Know, reworking Gotye and Kimbra’s 2011 single into a new electronic version. The release is listed as the ARTBAT x David Guetta Mix, with Gotye and Kimbra still credited on the track. For ARTBAT, the record follows their recent connection to melodic techno and large-scale electronic releases, while David Guetta brings another familiar vocal record into his 2026 run. The original remains one of the most recognizable crossover songs of the early 2010s, giving this version a strong reference point before moving it into a different dance setting. With ARTBAT and David Guetta reshaping a track already known far beyond electronic music, Somebody That I Used To Know brings one of the week’s biggest crossover releases into New EDM Friday Sep 4.

DubVision – Tonight

DubVision release Tonight, adding a progressive house track to New EDM Friday Sep 4. The release keeps the Dutch duo close to the melodic sound they have long been known for, with a focus on bright synth work, emotional progression, and a vocal-led structure. It follows a recent run that has included Run on STMPD RCRDS and their remix with Third Party for John Newman’s Love Me Again (Again). DubVision have also stayed closely tied to progressive house through records such as Starlight (Keep Me Afloat) and Wherever You Are with Martin Garrix and Shaun Farrugia, as well as Anywhere With You with AFROJACK and Lucas & Steve. With Tonight, DubVision bring one of the week’s main progressive house releases into New EDM Friday Sep 4.

Sara Landry – Interesting

Sara Landry keeps her Divine Intervention rollout moving with Interesting, a new single through her HEKATE label. The track pulls from hardstyle and hard techno, with glitchy synths, a spring-loaded bassline, and Sara Landry’s own spoken vocals giving it a more playful edge. Sara Landry described the release as “a little edgy and a little cheeky with a whole lot of bass,” adding that she wanted to have fun with it without holding back. Interesting follows a major 2026 run that includes her Ultra Music Festival Miami debut, a HEKATE stage takeover, a headline B2B with Amelie Lens, and a return to Coachella for a Quasar stage takeover with BLOOD OATH. With her sophomore album still ahead, Interesting brings Sara Landry back into New EDM Friday Sep 4 with a bass-heavy hard dance release made around attitude and control.

ARE WE DREAMING – Godlike

ARE WE DREAMING, the audio-visual EDM project from Brian Tyler, releases Godlike as part of this week’s New EDM Friday Sep 4. The track takes his cinematic background into a darker electronic direction, with robotic and ominous production that connects to more than 20 years of scoring film and video game projects including Avengers: Age Of Ultron and Call of Duty. Godlike was released for the “Musical Journey” theme, placing ARE WE DREAMING opposite Netrum and Halvorsen’s brighter NCS release Glowing. For Brian Tyler, the project opens a new chapter outside his long-running work as a composer, bringing his storytelling style into an electronic format built around both sound and visuals. With Godlike, ARE WE DREAMING brings one of the week’s darker and more cinematic releases into New EDM Friday Sep 4.
