Laidback Luke and Henry Fong have teamed up to deliver an absolute heater with their new single, “Mami.”
This Latin Bass House banger, released on January 31, 2025, showcases both producers’ unique styles and combines elements from their diverse musical backgrounds. The track features a catchy vocal chop, groovy percussion, and a bouncing FM bassline that immediately grabs your attention, creating the perfect vibe for the dancefloor.
The inspiration behind “Mami” draws heavily from the Dirty Dutch era of music, a sound that Laidback Luke helped pioneer. This era is characterized by big drums, high-energy drops, and driving basslines — all of which are present in this track. The addition of a Baile Funk Portuguese sample gives the song an exotic, sassy feel that complements the hard-hitting beats.
Laidback Luke Reflects on “Mami”
In a recent statement, Laidback Luke shared his excitement about the collaboration, saying, “I’ve loved Henry’s stuff for a long time! When we got to the studio, he told me about his obsession with UK Bass House. Alternatively, I really wanted to bring the Dutch beats back, so the combination of the two genres resulted in this unique banger. Portuguese vocals always sound edgy, so that’s a really nice bonus to the track.”
The collaboration came together quickly, with the duo finishing the track in just three hours. According to Henry Fong, “When Luke and I got into the studio, we wanted to recreate the feeling of the 2010’s Dutch House era… big drums and vocals on the drop but evolved for 2025. We finished the whole song in almost 3 hours and it just came out effortlessly!”
A Dancefloor Essential
The energy in “Mami” is undeniable. The combination of Latin rhythms, UK Bass House elements, and the signature Dutch beats from Laidback Luke makes the track a must-have for DJs and club-goers alike. From the first beat to the last, the track doesn’t let up, providing the kind of high-octane energy needed to keep the party going all night long.
For fans of Laidback Luke, this release is a testament to his continued evolution as an artist. He’s remained at the forefront of the electronic dance music scene for years, and “Mami” is another example of his ability to push the boundaries of what dance music can be. Henry Fong’s contribution to the track further solidifies his place as one of the most exciting producers in the bass house scene.
