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. Singing of the struggles of youth, the taut emotion in Vinnie’s haunting, guttural topline caught the ear of STBAN.
“Vinnie’s team got in touch with me about creating a club mix of the original single,” STBAN explained. “The words just connected with me on a deep level, Vinnie really captures huge emotion with his voice. I knew straight away I wanted to sign it to FLAMENCA Records. The thought of bringing it to a new audience, to the global dance floor, to hear Vinnie through the lens of electronic music, that really excited me. Furia and Varoc were already on board, and after listening to their music it was a total no-brainer to collaborate with them”
“Working with Furia and Varoc was a really unique experience,” STBAN continued. “We’re three separate generations working on one idea, bringing so many different references and influences but everything flowed seamlessly into this one incredible reworking of LUZ. I’m super happy, the guys did amazing with their edit, it’s the perfect way for FLAMENCA Records to finish off what has been a very successful first year.”
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.
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. 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.
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. With more FLAMENCA music and events set for 2026, under STBAN’s hand the future of the genre looks bright indeed.
