VA - Repopulate Stars Planet Rumba Vol. 1 (2025)

Planet Rumba Vol. 1 is a showcase of Latin-inspired tech house designed for peak-time dancefloor energy. The seven-track compilation pulses with tribal rhythms, percussive heat and infectious grooves, bringing a fiery twist to contemporary club sounds. Highlights include 'Tambora' by Ramon Bedoya & Rawi, which is an exhilarating ride driven by relentless tribal percussion and a high-tempo groove that feels custom-built for open-air parties. Its rhythmic force and raw energy make it one of the compilation's most visceral moments. 'Quiero Mas' by Damelo & HYDE (OFC) shifts into hypnotic territory with a techy, pulsating groove that rolls with understated power. It's sleek and entrancing, with just enough Latin flair to keep the momentum rising. Swave & Jezu (US)'s 'Te Quiero' brings the fun back in with a cheeky, catchy approach. It's loaded with character, tight grooves, playful vocal loops and that irresistible bounce that keeps the floor moving. Giovanni Nunez's 'El Bajo' digs a little deeper, layering an uptempo framework with a more restrained, rolling bassline. It adds balance to the collection, giving DJs a darker but still energetic option. Planet Rumba Vol. 1 is a potent fusion of cultural flavour and club-ready fire, tailor-made for summer sets.
