After their previous collaboration “Lose Control,” house music stars Wax Motif and Matroda have teamed up once again for a Latin tech house single, “La Candela Viva.” Teased across the festival circuit over the past seven months before today’s release via HARD Recs., the track comes highly anticipated from house fans near and far. “You guys ready for the new Waxtroda?” Wax Motif had teased, coining the pair’s name on social media on Wednesday. “La Candela Viva” opens with a powerful vocal sample from Colombian music icon Totó La Momposina layered over cumbia-style drums, before launching into a thumping tech house beat.

It was only a matter of time before the remixes began rolling in. Last week Drake released his seventh LP, Honestly, Nevermind, which quickly became Apple Music’s biggest dance album of all-time. Considering it contains a surprising amount of house music, one of the genre’s leading producers, Wax Motif, has unveiled four new edits within just a week of the album’s drop. Having always bridged the gap between dance music and hip-hop, Motif perfectly transformed the minimal house tracks into bouncy, club-ready reworks. While he put a tech house twist on “Massive” and “Sticky,” we then hear his signature bass house sound in his remix of “Keeper” and a more breezy style in his flip of the salsa-inspired “Ties That Bind.” “Drake is one of...

He’s now hot off the heels of an electrifying performance at EDC Las Vegas amid a prolific 2022 that has seen him release one of the year’s biggest house tracks, “On The Low,” a collaboration with longstoryshort that samples Mario Winans’ 2004 R&B hit “I Don’t Wanna Know.” But before he became the force he is today, Motif came from humble beginnings, discovering raves at the age of 16 and even making fake IDs at one point. And ...
