Laidback Luke has quite the prolific career under his belt with worldwide recognition and global tour performances. His influence on the electronic music scene has remained palpable throughout the better part of the last decade. Fans can catch Laidback Luke rinsing “Ponme Loco” during his Tomorrowland Mainstage set.

The Dutch legend commented on the release, “I met Gian Varela during this Miami Music Week and his energy and vibe works perfectly for my team and I. He came to us with a bag of demos and I felt Ponme Loco was the perfect fit for me. I think it will help a lot of people go “crazy” on the dance floors. Let’s go loco this summer!

Hailing from Panama, Gian Varela has collaborated with Latin superstars Sech, Feid, and El Combo and has placed massive releases on the likes of Spinnin, Armada, Revealed, and more. In addition to his new collab with Laidback Luke, Gian Varela has also received support from Armin Van Buuren and Fedde Le Grand.

Varela commented on the single, “Ponme Loco started off with the vocals as the majority of my records do. So I came up with something simple, but catchy. “Ponme Loco” means “Get Me Crazy,” – once I had a vocal idea, Melfi, with a distinguished low raspy vocal, was able to accomplish what I envisioned. From there we sent a demo to Luke & he took the record to the finish line. Definitely bringing that legendary laidback luke sound to the instrumental ending up with a Spanish/Latin House record that is sure to “get you crazy” in clubs and festivals!”
