Vic Latino returns with another genre-bending maneuver with his latest collaboration, once again with the iconic Freestyle group TKA, bringing new life to one of the most legendary songs in the genre, Scars Of Love.
This time, rather than keeping it strictly in the Freestyle lane, the track receives a heavy-hitting tech house remake that’s engineered for deep underground dance floors while not losing the soul that made this a classic. Out on 4G1B Music, the remix is a brilliant marriage of old-school feeling and modern club energy.
Original Scars Of Love was a beat for a whole generation of Freestyle enthusiasts, with that raw emotion-based punch characteristic of the late ’80s and early ’90s. But Vic Latino, whose style is noted for having a cutting-edge production taste as well as a talent for taking nostalgia and reworking it into something new, recognized the potential to breathe a completely different pulse into the song. Scars of Love was the pulse of a generation – this remix is my attempt to keep that pulse going and bring it into a new era. The infectious tech house rhythm will keep Freestyle burning forever,” Vic explained.
This isn’t just a remix, it’s a bold crossover moment that pulls in two worlds. On one hand, you’ve got the heartfelt, emotional vocals and melody that made TKA icons in the Freestyle genre. On the other, Vic layers in a relentless tech house groove with crisp percussion, deep basslines, and just the right amount of build-and-drop tension to keep the dance floor packed until sunrise.
The single follows hard on the heels of Vic Latino’s recent string of comeback singles, such as Maria and Cielo, which have already started causing waves in the dance music arena. These singles were a full-force comeback for Vic, not only as a DJ but also as a producer with a definite vision for a fusion of roots and evolution. His career has been one of defining dance music while paying respects to where it came from, be it during his radio years, bestselling compilations, or international DJ performances.
With TKA at the helm, this remix isn’t a reworking of one track, it’s an unification of generations of dance music enthusiasts. The Freestyle devotees who cut their teeth on Scars Of Love receive a nostalgia bomb, while the tech house faithful receive a track that perfectly slots into modern club play. It’s evidence that a much-loved classic doesn’t necessarily need to remain in a time capsule; it can gain new life and vitality without sacrificing its originality.
4G1B Music has been the ideal home for this release, allowing Vic the creative freedom to test the limits of sound while still allowing the soul of the track to shine through. What’s the result? A remix that’s not just a tribute to the past but a statement for the future of dance music, where genre lines are blurred and the only rule is to keep moving.
Whether you’re hearing Scars Of Love for the first time or you’ve had it on repeat since the Freestyle era, this version hits differently. It’s got the emotion, it’s got the drive, and most importantly, it’s got that unshakable dance floor pull. Vic Latino and TKA didn’t just revive a classic, they reimagined it into something that feels like it was always meant to live in both worlds.
Scars Of Love by Vic Latino & TKA is released now on 4G1B Music, set to rip up playlists and dancefloors everywhere.
