The remix pushes the wild standout further into baile funk, adding extra vocals from MC GW and Clementaum while giving the track a heavier, more club-ready pulse. It builds on the Brazilian funk influence already woven into the original, bringing the genre even further into the spotlight while keeping KATSEYE’s playful energy at the center.
Ricky Martin, PEDRO SAMPAIO - pikito pikito
The one and only Ricky Martin and Brazilian DJ PEDRO SAMPAIO turn up the heat with “pikito pikito,” a high-energy blend of funk carioca, samba, pop, and urban merengue.

Crimson99 -“Who Am I”
Dominican-Canadian artist Crimson99 is introducing herself with Daredevil, a five-track debut EP built around self-discovery, healing and letting go of perfection. At the heart of the project is “Who Am I,” the very first song she ever recorded on a microphone, and the EP keeps that original demo take. “It’s about allowing love and truth to pierce through fear and hurt. It’s about not listening to all the internalized voices that prevented me from walking my path. It’s about trust and letting go of control and fear,” Crimson99 says. Recorded live with a band in a single day and produced by Montreal musician Koko Love, Daredevil embraces the rawness of the recording process rather than trying to smooth it out.
Kobi Cantillo, Micro TDH, Big Soto - Bby Girl
Kobi Cantillo, Micro TDH and are reconnecting for “Bby Girl,” a smooth, flirty track about a connection that never really went away. The Venezuelan trio revisits the chemistry that first brought them together on “Culito Nuevo 2,” but this time the story centers on wanting to find your way back to someone from the past.
Eon Sound, Neton Vega, De La Rose, L Prince - “Ni Tan Santx”
Netón Vega and De La Rose are bringing Mexico and Puerto Rico together for their first collaboration, “Not Entirely Innocent.” The track dives into the messy side of modern relationships, where jealousy, mixed signals and contradictions can make it hard to tell who’s really at fault.
Camila Fernández - Serpiente De Cascabel
Camila Fernández celebrates her Mexican roots with “Serpiente de Cascabel,” a mariachi track inspired by the country’s land, animals, mysticism, and cultural legacy.

Milo J - “LA JANGADA”
Argentine artist Milo J celebrates the first anniversary of La Vida Era Más Corta with LA JANGADA, a live reimagining of the acclaimed album.

Joss Favela - Las Cosas No Salieron
Joss Favela leans into heartbreak with “Las Cosas No Salieron,” a norteño-banda ballad about a man confronting rock bottom and slowly finding his way back through music. The Mexican singer-songwriter and producer turns the pain of a failed relationship into a story of healing, setting the stage for his upcoming studio album. The project will explore banda, norteño, and mariachi and has already been previewed with tracks including “No Me Lo Mandes Decir,” “La Jarra,” “Tengo Tanto Que Contarte,” and “Una Derrota Así.”
Rome da Luce - Dance With Me
Singer-songwriter Rome da Luce releases his new solo album, A Healthy Amount of Fear. Over the course of eleven genre-bending tracks, Rome explains that it tells the story of "how falling in love is an invitation to face our fears, dance with our demons, and break the patterns that hold us back under the guise of self-preservation." The first single, "Dance With Me," is a harbinger of the artist's personal and creative refinement that can be heard in the fresh sound and gamut of emotions expressed on this album.
