“La Bulla” – Andruss, Many Malon

This tech-house heater titled “La Bulla” by Andruss and Many Malon has made its way onto various dance floors across cities with a dominant Latin American and Hispanic population. Before its official release, house music legends like Marco Carola, Solomun, and Loco Dice featured this party-favorite tune at iconic clubs like Pacha Ibiza, Hï Ibiza, and many more. A few months back, Experts Only label boss John Summit also featured “La Bulla” during one of his unstoppable sets at the one and only Club Space Miami, and fans in the crowd went wild.
