Tampa Bay psychedelic dance/pop duo and Top 40 Billboard Dance artist Beatnik Castle is proud to announce the much-anticipated second dance/club release “Tu Puedes Ser Mio?” featuring the very talented June of Latin South, Jovinci, singer Leemarie, and female rapper extraordinaire Cila.

“I’ve never heard somebody as talented and hard-hitting as Cila,” says Willie Ramirez of Tampa-based artist management firm WR Entertainment.  “Her heavy-hitting rapid-fire Latin-flavored rap style rap brings the song to a new level,” adds Ramirez, citing that Cila and head Beatnik Quincy B have been “itching” to work together since the Winter Music Conference in March. “Now it’s finally happening,” he sheepishly grins.

Written, arranged, and co-produced by Quincy B, “Tu Puedes Ser Mio’s” backing track is the tribal mix instrumental from Beatnik Castle’s Top 40 Billboard dance single “Will U B Mine?” (featuring singer Francillia) from Top 10 Billboard artist, remixer, and dance pioneer Georgie Porgie (recently named one of Billboard’s Top 10 Dance/Club Play Artist of the Decade!) with some electronic goodies -including a few Soca and Latin rhythm beats and edits added by Quincy B. The English version of the song is currently being played on several radio and video outlets worldwide, including Sirius/XM, Logo, MTV, VH1 and other international video outlets.

“Georgie is a tremendous support and it’s an honor to know him much less co-produce a track with him,” exclaims Quincy B. “I mean, he’s in the dubious company of Madonna, Beyonce, Rihanna, Mariah, Jennifer Lopez, Janet Jackson, and Kim English when it comes to dance music. His accolades have earned him the title ‘Ambassador of Dance Music’ ”

Recorded at ProStar Studios in St. Petersburg, Fl and mixed and engineered by Quincy B. and Jody Gray, “Tu Puedes Ser Mio?” is currently available for worldwide digitally release through Mad Monk, LTD/Music Plant Group (www.musicplantrecords.com) later this month and a music video -produced by 12to12 Productions, will follow.
