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 Coffee, Calvin Harris, David Guetta, Hugel, Diplo, Fred 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.
