A month ago, Brazilian disco duo Balako dropped a thundering new track called "Hora De Balako" (which translates to: "the time of Balako"). Staggeringly, the single — released via Joe Goddard's Greco-Roman Records — was only their debut release.

Naturally, the track and its bonkers visuals eared the pair a lot of fans very quickly. One such fan is fellow disco enthusiast Ray Mang, one of the producers who's stepped up to remix the track (alongside NY-based Eric "Dunks" Duncan). Where the original cut was a rolling, at times almost proggy, Latin-infused ode to classic '70s disco, Ray ramps up the track's club potential with a strident 4x4 beat and some thundering bass.
