Available July 25 via 4G1B Music
Global dancefloor legend and radio pioneer Vic Latino is reigniting the Freestyle flame with a fresh twist on an iconic classic. Set to release on July 25, “Maria” sees Vic collaborating with legendary Freestyle group TKA, delivering a high-energy Latin House update to one of the genre’s most enduring anthems.
“Remixing ‘Maria’ was personal for me,” says Vic. “It’s one of those iconic freestyle records that shaped my love for dance music, and I wanted to give it new life with the pulse of Latin house. This remix isn’t just a tribute — it’s the first step in relaunching my journey as a producer and artist, reconnecting with the roots that made me fall in love with music in the first place.”
With a storied career that spans over three decades, Vic Latino (born Victor Canales) has consistently shaped the soundscape of Dance music, from dominating New York City radio airwaves to launching nationally chart-topping compilations, running media ventures, and now re-entering the studio to reclaim his producer roots. His remix of “Maria” marks a return not only to production but to the sonic legacy that made him a household name.
Vic’s signature style, blending nostalgia with cutting-edge beats, is on full display here. The remix pulsates with the rhythms of Latin House, layered with the emotion and hooks that made “Maria” a dancefloor staple. It’s a club-ready tribute to the golden era of Freestyle, seamlessly updated for a new generation of listeners.
This release follows the buzz around his 2025 comeback single “Cielo” and cements his return to the music charts and dance community. With a prime-time slot on Miami’s Hits 97.3, ownership of key radio stations, and a career defined by innovation and instinct, Vic Latino is once again turning up the heat - and the volume.
Vic Lation & TKA “Maria” will be available on all major streaming platforms on July 25, 2025.
