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.

His accolades have earned him the title ‘Ambassador of Dance Music’ ”
