Having released on the likes of Suara, Toolroom, Defected, Ultra, Glasgow Underground and Stereo Productions, rising Italian star QUBIKO now brings his considerable talents to the shores of FLAMENCA Records, mixing the new STBAN single ‘Amor de mis Amores’.
Beautifully inspired Flamenco-Latin House with a minimal touch, ‘Amor de mis Amores’ sees STBAN sample the 80’s hit of the same name by Paco, itself a remake of Edith Piaf’s 1957 classic ‘La Foule’. With roots in the Argentine Tango and Peruvian Waltz the track’s DNA is soaked in dance; with his remix, QUBIKO brings it bang up to date for the 21st century dance floor. Matching the tango-inspired rhythms of the original with chugging bass and syncopating percussion, QUBIKO teases the production this way and that, one moment allowing the original elements to flex, the next pulling the listener into sublime electronica.
That QUBIKO has chosen to work with STBAN and the FLAMENCA Records team should come as no surprise to anyone with a finger on the pulse of dance music. As the sound of Flamenco House continues its surge around the planet, key players within the genre – including STBAN – are gaining serious hype and recognition. With previous singles attracting edits from Cuba’s PAUZA, Spain’s Crusy and now Italy’s QUBIKO, and with an almighty edit from James Hurr up next, STBAN and the FLAMENCA Records family have clearly tapped into a vein of music that’s connecting with some of dance music’s hottest talents.
STBAN ‘Amor de mis Amores’ (QUBIKO Mix) has been released on all global DSPs and download stores today.
