James Hurr makes his debut on FLAMENCA Records with his mix of ‘Gitanita’ by STBAN, Sandra Carrasco, and Josemi Carmona.

Celebrated UK producer James Hurr makes his debut on FLAMENCA Records with new single ‘Gitanita’, his second collaboration with label boss STBAN after the pair released ‘El Camino’ on Toolroom Records late last year.

‘Gitanita’ – which means “gypsy” in Spanish – also sees the pair reunite with famed Flamenco singer Sandra Carrasco and influential, pioneering guitarist Josemi Carmona. Carmona’s gently undulating guitar rhythms shuffle softly against Iberic-style percussion, Carrasco’s evocative vocal adding an extra level of tension to the pair’s deft composition. The result is a taut and delicate track that harnesses the raw emotional power of traditional flamenco music and moves it firmly onto the pulsing heart of the dance floor.

“Collaborating with STBAN has been an exciting musical challenge, away from my comfort  zone and into the modal world of flamenco music,” Hurr said. “There’s something dark and mysterious in STBAN’s music that works perfectly with driving club beats.”

“I’m delighted to be working again with James,” STBAN commented, “and to have him officially releasing on the FLAMENCA Records label after our Toolroom collaboration is the icing on the cake. Once again we’ve co-created a beautiful fusion between the worlds of flamenco and electronic.”

New EDM Friday Mar 13 has arrived and we’ve got new electronic dance music by Martin Garrix, John Summit, and more.

The second Friday of March is here, and the new music is here too. Martin Garrix has his own vocals on a single, John Summit continues to build to his album, and heavy-hitting dubstep collaborations dominate the roundup, here are the songs you cannot miss on this week’s New EDM Friday.

Martin Garrix – Catharina

After lending his vocals on a collaboration with Arijit Singh, Martin Garrix now kicks off his new album rollout with ‘Catharina’. This track marks a historic first for the Dutch phenom: it features his very own vocals. Moving away from the high-octane big room sound, ‘Catharina’ offers a more personal, melodic glimpse into Garrix’s current headspace. It is a bold, artistic step forward that proves even after a decade at the top, Martin is still finding new ways to innovate.

John Summit & Rohaan – SATA

Continuing to build the momentum to his new album, John Summit joins forces with Rohaan for ‘SATA’ via Experts Only. This 140bpm pulsating track is a masterclass in tension, blending a dark Latin twist with heavy, warehouse-ready low end. It is a “no-frills” weapon designed specifically for the booth, highlighting Summit’s impeccable ear for composition and his ability to bridge the gap between mainstage appeal and underground grit.

Shlump – The Chronicles of Shlump: Sine Waves & Stardust (Album)

Bay Area bass architect Shlump officially enters the pantheon of elite producers with his debut LP, ‘The Chronicles of Shlump – Sine Waves & Stardust’. Released via WAKAAN, the 11-track journey is Shlump’s most cohesive work to date. Shlump admits that after years of trying to please fans, this project was written to please himself, resulting in an immersive blend of warped basslines, psychedelic grooves, and “wubby” pressure. It’s an album built for deep listening and late-night festival camps alike.

Kaleena Zanders & Hayley May – Who We Are

Vocal powerhouse Kaleena Zanders teams up with the soulful Hayley May for the radiant anthem ‘Who We Are’. This is the second single from Kaleena’s upcoming debut album, ‘Anything Goes’. The track is a feel-good, gospel-charged house record that captures the electric chemistry of two of the industry’s most commanding voices. It’s a golden-hour festival heater that pulses with unity and pure dancefloor euphoria.

Virtual Riot & YDG ft. Luma – Paralyzed

Virtual Riot continues his legacy of championing the next generation by linking up with rising producer YDG for ‘Paralyzed’. Featuring a soaring, cinematic vocal performance from Luma, the track is a masterclass in modern dubstep. It balances delicate, emotional songwriting with the colossal, surgical precision sound design that Virtual Riot is world-renowned for.

Kill Safari ft. Armanni Reign – Chrome

The veteran super-duo Kill Safari (Kill the Noise and Bro Safari) returns with the ferocious ‘Chrome’. Featuring the legendary Armanni Reign, the track is an industrial dubstep weapon that sounds exactly like its title: metallic, sharp, and cold. Built on crushing basslines and Armanni’s commanding delivery, ‘Chrome’ proves that these two pioneers are still at the absolute forefront of the genre’s evolution.
