FLAKO STIK

FLAKO STIK is the Latin tech house alter ego of talented music producer Balo, a rising star in the house music scene. Growing up in the US/MX border region between Juarez and El Paso, TX, FLAKO STIK experienced the collision of Mexican music and American popular culture firsthand. His original songs feature sexy, flirty vocals and groovy rhythms that are sure to get any crowd moving. Additionally, FLAKO STIK remakes classic Latin and Mexican songs into modern tech house variations, connecting with a wider audience while honoring his cultural heritage.

His breakout single “MARCIANO” became a TikTok sensation with nearly half a million videos on TikTok, #1 Viral Spotify charts in Spain, Argentina and Mexico, and garnering over 4 million Spotify streams as an independent artist. FLAKO STIK’s rendition of “ZA ZA ZA” earned praise from its original creators, and his remixes of classics like “The Ketchup Song (Aserejé)” and “Caraluna” have electrified clubs worldwide.
