A year on from his last outing on Moon Harbour, Colombian Julian Collazos is back with a new single alongside American talent Vanjee.
Collazos heads up his own label Duff Music, and has been a key player in his native scene for many years, helping to develop it and establish it on the world stage. His music reflects his heritage with hints of salsa and bolero woven into his tribal house and minimal grooves. Vanjee is equally influential as a former resident of Hi Ibiza with Black Coffee, regular on the likes of Get Physical Music and Music On and a flexible artist with a sound that ranges from deep and intimate to big room tech.
The wonderful ‘Rumba’ is a fiery jam that brings warm and sunny energy even in deepest winter. The joyous piano keys and string melodies jostle next to organic percussion, shakers and Spanish vocal chants while chunky drums keep the floor locked in. There’s rare musicality and authentic Latin culture baked deep into these beats, which is why it is such an irresistible sound, especially once the horns and xylophone solo break out at the mid-point.
With ‘Rumba’, Julian Collazos and Vanjee fuse Latin soul and club-ready house with effortless flair.
