Hey fam, if you’ve been sleeping on the Tribal House and Organic House wave sweeping clubs from Ibiza to Berlin right now, wake up — because STBAN just handed us the perfect end-of-year anthem. His new single “Luz (Club Mix)” featuring Furia (and built off Vinnie Dollar’s viral original) is the kind of track that makes you feel the sweat of a packed terraza at 5 a.m. while someone’s still passionately clapping palmas in the background. This is Spanish soul meeting peak-time electronic energy, and I’m completely here for it.
Released on his own FLAMENCA Records to close out their incredible debut year, “Luz (Club Mix)” takes Vinnie Dollar’s 2023 street anthem — already sitting pretty at 10 million YouTube views — and flips it into a full-on dancefloor weapon. We’re talking deep rolling tribal percussion, warm organic textures, flamenco guitar licks that sneak up on you, and that unmistakable Spanish trap attitude riding the groove. STBAN, label boss and mastermind behind the FLAMENCA concept, teams up with Varoc and the raw vocal energy of Furia to completely reimagine the original’s gritty storytelling about youth, struggle, and resilience. The result? Eight minutes of pure hypnosis that feels both ancient and futuristic at the same time.
Let’s talk about that production for a second. The kick is fat and rounded, the percussion layers keep evolving (shakers, congas, handclaps — all tasting like Andalusia), and every time you think the track is about to peak, another flamenco-infused synth line or vocal chop pulls you deeper. It’s the perfect marriage of Organic House’s earthy warmth and Tribal House’s relentless forward motion. No wonder this is already getting rinsed by DJs who play everything from Keinemusik to Solomun to Pablo Fierro.
For those who haven’t been following STBAN’s rise: this man grew up on 90s rave culture, toured Europe’s biggest rooms, played Montreux Jazz Festival and World Club Dome, and still found time to launch both Realsound (his production company) and FLAMENCA — the event series that literally brings live flamenco dancers and guitarists into the club while the bassline thumps at 124 BPM. If you’ve ever wanted to see abuelitas and ravers lose their minds to the same beat, this is your guy.
The fact that he took a 10-million-view urban-trap single and turned it into a globally-minded Tribal/Afro/Organic House weapon shows exactly why FLAMENCA Records is one of the most exciting imprints in the Spanish scene has birthed in years. This isn’t fusion for the sake of fusion; it’s tradition and modernity having a passionate, sweaty love affair on the dancefloor.
If you’re a DJ reading this — do yourself a favor and grab “Luz (Club Mix)” right now. If you’re just a music lover, throw it on at your next pre-game or sunset session and watch everyone ask “who is this?!” within the first 30 seconds.
