Malóne and Sounds Of Rituals Drop Hypnotic House Remake of Jay Wheeler’s “Cuando Fue”

Malóne and Sounds Of Rituals have joined forces with Jay Wheeler for a sultry remake of the reggaeton superstar's global hit, "Cuando Fue."

Out now via EMPIRE jointly on Linked Music, Dynamic Records and Malóne's WHYNOTUS label, the official "Cuando Fue" rework transports you to a twilight beach party where inhibitions melt away like sand through fingers. With its unique blend of reggaeton soul and underground house, it's destined to set late-summer club nights ablaze.

That, however, is merely par for the course for Malóne, a longtime resident at Miami's iconic Club Space who is fluent in the unspoken language of the dancefloor.

"My team at EMPIRE came to us with the opportunity to re work this original. I was very excited because I was already a fan of song and Jay Wheeler to begin with," Malóne tells EDM.com. "Being able to work with such an incredible Latin artist as Jay was a special opportunity. More than anything, I wanted to bring a high energetic groove to the original. Something that worked very well for the dancefloors and high-energy moments of the nights at the club."

His bold approach paid off. In a steamy collision of Latin-pop and house grooves, the track sizzles with an infectious bassline, its rhythmic heartbeat enticing listeners to the dancefloor. Malóne's deft production touch and Sounds Of Rituals' Afro-house influences transform Wheeler's passionate vocals, weaving them through a hypnotic latticework of percussive textures.

EMPIRE, the famed record label and music distribution company, played a pivotal role in bringing the track to life, Malóne said.

"It's been great so far. Having a team and platform for my label and my music has been an incredible help," he explains. "So much goes into releasing music these days and having a strong team is just as important as anything else. We have a great process, they really believe in my music, so that has made everything easy and enjoyable to work with."
