by After successfully opening his label’s doors to fresh releases from UK producers James Hurr and Loz Seka, FLAMENCA Records boss STBAN returns to the imprint with his brand new single, ‘Habibi,’ released worldwide on April 10th.
A Fusion of Cultures and Rhythms
A scorching slice of percussive Afro-Latin House, ‘Habibi’ sees STBAN collaborate with two prominent figures of the Spanish music scene: DJ and percussionist Javi Torres, and singer and DJ Alba Dreid. The result is a formidable dance floor weapon that masterfully combines the heat and flavor of Arabesque vocals and instrumentation with thundering basslines and relentless, driving rhythms.
Collaborative Excellence
Javi Torres has established himself across southern Europe and Latin America for his explosive Afro-house and Latin Tech sets, which are frequently enhanced by live percussion integrated directly into the mix. His work has garnered support from some of the biggest names in the industry, including Martin Garrix, Alok, Jamie Jones, Hugel, Aaron Sevilla, Roger Sanchez, Mëstiza, MichaelBM, Tom & Collins, Novak, Nicky Romero, Paco Osuna, Salvarote Ganacci, and Sammy Porter.
Alba Dreid, who rose to prominence in Spain after winning the RTVE program ‘La Bien Cantá,’ brings a unique perspective to the track. Her artistic focus is firmly set on introducing Spanish folklore to a global audience, making her an ideal partner for STBAN’s ongoing mission to fuse traditional flamenco with electronic music through the growing discography of FLAMENCA Records.
‘Habibi’ stands as a testament to the label’s commitment to innovation, blending heritage-rich sounds with the high-octane energy required for modern club environments.
