Title: Work (incl. Loco Dice Remix)
Label: SB Recordings
Legendary German artist Loco Dice and his SB Recordings unveil a groundbreaking release coming from the iconic Dutch artist AFROJACK, under his tech-house alias Kapuchon, and his rising Dutch fellow Sven Fields. After releasing the likes of Chuckie, Carloh, Chicks Luv Us and more, Kapuchon and Sven Fields‘s track “Work” is SB Recordings‘ 10th release so far, a sonic powerhouse that seamlessly blends their signature energy and goes perfectly hand in hand with Loco Dice‘s remix, serving as the Dice‘s imprint’s milestone and a sign of its fast-paced development since the label launched not so long ago in 2023. The original version by Kapuchon and Sven, alongside a fierce remix by the SB Recordings‘ boss himself, is now available for your listening pleasure as each version offers its own distinct sonic journey, standing out as a true testament to the synergy between these dance music titans and how Loco Dice has been leading that space, serving as a world-class tastemaker since he launched his famed Desolat label in 2007. Featuring a driving four-on-the-floor bassline, infectious vocals of A$AP Ferg, and a gritty, industrial vibe, “Work” is poised to dominate dancefloors worldwide. As Loco Dice‘s SB Recordings project continues to gain momentum, we eagerly anticipate the exciting collaborations and musical innovations that await this music industry giant.
“I have known Nick, aka AFROJACK, for a very long time. We have mutual friends, the Dutch crew, Benny Rodriguez, and Chuckie, among others. We were always cool with each other, had a good time when we’d meet, exchanged music, etc. Then, one day, Nick sent me “Work,” and I went all for it. I am a huge A$AP Ferg fan, and I was amazed that someone really did it and made something original with it. I started to play it immediately to crowds going mental to it. I also realized that I could do something with the track and make it even more mine. I proposed the release on my label, so here it is, and I can’t be happier. Nick and I have always wanted to do something together, and now, the time has come.” – Loco Dice
“Me and Loco Dice go way back, so I’m very happy to finally put something out together, and it’s amazing to get creative with Sven‘s fresh take on the genre.” – AFROJACK/Kapuchon
Loco Dice
From early breakout hit “Phat Dope Shit” in 2002 to agenda-setting debut album “7 Dunham Place” on his own now long-running and well-regarded Desolat, Dice has always been in the headlines. After his debut came to the major label follow-up “Underground Sound Suicide” with guests like Giggs, Just Blaze, and Neneh Cherry, then the agenda-setting and club-focussed house and techno showcase that was “Love Letters.” Add in tens of EPs on Ovum, Minus, Cocoon, to name a few; he has always been at the beating heart of the electronic scene. His DJ sets, too, always brim with personality, whether in a small underground basement or on an iconic main stage at some of the world’s top festivals, playing to thousands. He has had era-defining residencies at iconic Ibiza super clubs like Circoloco at DC-10 and on the Amnesia Terrace as well at Space Miami. His lockdown move was to unveil En Couleur, a label reserved exclusively for the music he produced at that time. It shows another side of Dice‘s ever-evolving sound. What followed were his clothing brand Seran Bendecidos and SB Recordings, a new label open to all styles of dance music, a recent release is a testament to that approach. All of this proves, then, that he is undoubtedly an insatiable creative force.
Kapuchon/AFROJACK
As one of the most innovative and sought-after artists, GRAMMY Award-winning producer and DJ AFROJACK, continues to shatter boundaries that push music in bold new directions. Since making his breakthrough with the multi-platinum-selling single ‘Take Over Control‘, the Dutch-born, genre-bending musician, now signed to The Shalizi Group, has lent his production skills to tracks and co-created major hits for artists such as Beyoncé, Pitbull, Will.i.am, Lil Jon and more. In recent years, AFROJACK was named one of the 50 Most Important People in EDM by Rolling Stone and placed on the Forbes ’30 Under 30′ music list. In 2010, he was one of the first DJs to secure a Las Vegas residency and now, fourteen years later, he continues to entertain global audiences as a headlining resident artist for the Wynn Las Vegas. AFROJACK continuously travels the world performing at the biggest clubs and festivals while producing new music with his label WALL Recordings, which recently completed construction of a new 800,000+ Sq Ft artist development center.
Sven Fields
Sven Fields has been paving the way for himself since he was a teenager. Inspired by the eclectic music tastes of his parents, Sven began his journey into music production at 19. Frequenting local clubs with friends, he developed a deep appreciation for hip-hop and house music, shaping his unique style. His breakthrough came in 2023 when he was discovered by AFROJACK during a gaming session in Call of Duty: Warzone. This chance encounter led to a signing with AFROJACK‘s label, WALL Recordings. Sven released a collaboration with AFROJACK‘s tech house alias ‘Kapuchon‘ and a remix of AFROJACK‘s classic ‘Polkadots‘ with Chasner. These tracks garnered significant attention, earning support from renowned DJs such as Diplo, Sofi Tukker, Martin Garrix, and more. Since 2024, Sven Fields‘ tracks have been supported by prominent names in the industry, including Meduza, AFROJACK, James Hype, Gordo, Diplo, and Loco Dice. His innovative approach of blending hip-hop elements with tech house has made waves on the SoundCloud charts and Beatport’s Tech House chart. Sven‘s latest release, “Fuego,” on his label Fields Vision, reflects his dedication and evolving talent in the tech house scene.
