D3M0R Drops Sun-Soaked Bass Debut ‘Baile Mi Amor'
The Tunisian DJ and producer shifts away from his UKG and jungle for more footwork with Latin-inspired percussion and bass-driven grooves. Jul 25, 2025 Paris-based Tunisian DJ and producer D3M0R, also known as the founder of Radio Flouk, has recently released his debut EP, 'Baili Mi Amor', a dancefloor-ready percussive bass record. The EP is a sun-drenched two-tracker brimming with Latin-inspired percussion and sampled tropical grooves that feel like soundtracks of a beachside festival. The title track leans into tribal percussion and warped house, while on 'Mueve Tu Cuerpo', the tempo is even more relentless, featuring trumpet notes and infectious hand drums. As D3M0R put it in his announcement for the record, 'This EP is all about physicality and emotion–music that invites you to let go, sway and connect under the summer sky.'
