Olin Batista – Amazon 63 [Flamingo Recordings]

Olin Batista is paying tribute to his father in the best way he knows how: a track called “Amazon 63”.

The song title is in reference to the boat that his father Eike sailed to win the Superboat World Championship over two decades ago. Batista also released “Luma” as part of the Sosumi Records Miami EP this year, and that track was a tribute to his mother. “Amazon 63” serves as his debut on Flamingo Recordings.

This track is really what pure house music should be. The drops bring a jolt of Brazilian energy, complete with disco-influenced synths and a vocal chop. Underneath those parts, the bassline gives the track an undeniably groovy quality. The breakdown has most unique attribute of any track released this year. Olin Batista actually worked the audio from the Superboat World Championship into the song, placing it with percussion and piano. “Amazon 63” then builds back up to another drop of pure sophisticated and sexy house.
