Get ready to move because STEPHO’s latest track, Rakata, is a vibrant dance-pop banger that blends 80s nostalgia with the pulsating rhythms of Rio de Janeiro. Infused with Latin house and EDM influences, Rakata feels like a celebration of old-school grooves reimagined for the modern era.
With its upbeat tempo, infectious bassline, and shimmering synths, Rakata transports listeners to a retro-futuristic carnival. STEPHO’s vision—"recreating the 80s sound as if it had been born in Rio de Janeiro in 2024"—shines through in every beat. The track marries the iconic, funky essence of 80s pop with the vibrancy of Brazilian-inspired percussion and house music energy.
What makes Rakata even more exciting is its genre-blurring magic. It’s a song equally at home on a tropical beach as it is in a neon-lit club. STEPHO’s production effortlessly bridges the gap between nostalgia and innovation, proving that dance music can simultaneously pay homage to the past and push the boundaries of the future.
With the rise of Latin house and a growing love for retro-inspired dance music, Rakata lands at the perfect time. It captures the infectious joy of Latin rhythms while layering it with the glossy, synth-heavy charm of the 80s—an irresistible combination for fans of global dance music.
If you’re looking for a song to soundtrack your next party or simply brighten your day, Rakata is an absolute must. STEPHO’s unique take on blending eras and sounds is a fresh reminder of how dynamic and inclusive dance music can be.
