Along with the release, the epileptic video for “Way of the Gaucho” directed by Lautaro Quiroga.
Cabiria – “22:22”
“It is said that when you look at the clock and there is a mirror hour it is your moment of peace, of synchronicity with the angels and with yourself. Each mirror hour has its symbolism, the 22:22 “It means that someone you want to call you will call you soon,” explain the members of Cabiria about the name of his new song. This track echoes his creative freedom by guiding us through different influences, ranging from Japanese city pop to 70s Italian soundtracks and new age music.
Dora – “When you are not there”
“when you are not” is the latest song by the Madrid artist Dora, which explores the importance of discerning between relationships that benefit us and those that detract from us. The piece, notable for its dynamic pop approach, fuses ethereal melodies with a sensual and playful vocal. The song, co-created and produced by Pionalreflects Dora’s ability to adapt to different styles while anticipating her long-awaited debut album.

Fiah – “Mugshot”
fiah returned at full speed with “Mugshot“, the first preview of their debut album. Produced by Siegfried, the track oscillates between the flames of neoperreo and the characteristic frenzy of rave. Fiah unfolds her wild spirit over an electrifying cadence commanded by the roar of the quarter-note bass drum, acid synths and a call to the president. The launch was enhanced by a video reminiscent of Harmony Korine’s cinema under the direction of Lean Vazquez.

After electrifying 2023 with all the versions of “Our kisses”, Lupe returns to the slopes with a devastating track. On this occasion, the artist from La Plata makes us dance with a cover of “The Sun Can’t Compare” by Larry Heard.
