Brazilian talent Balanka lands on Short Circuit, delivering his infectious new single

“I Like Stats” brings pure attitude and bounce, powered by crisp rhythms and a rolling bassline that drives the track with effortless flow. The vocal hook adds a cheeky edge, while the arrangement keeps the energy light yet propulsive. Funky, fun, and full of character, it’s a mood-lifter designed to get floors moving and smiles spreading.

Conceived through a constant pursuit of originality and contrast, Balanka is the creative alias of Brazilian producer and performer Gabriel Veiga, who has rapidly emerged across the global underground circuit. His tracks have gained powerful support from names like Michael Bibi, Jamie Jones, Marco Carola, Vintage Culture, and Mau P, cementing his sound in top-tier sets and international radio shows.

His breakout single “Real Smooth” on Shout Label became a scene favourite, reaching the Top 4 on Beatport’s Minimal / Deep Tech Chart and remaining in the Top 10 for consecutive months, a performance that introduced his distinctive, bass-driven, psychedelic-tinged sound to dancefloors worldwide.

With releases on respected imprints including Repopulate Mars, Shout Label, Take Notes, and Collecting Dots, Balanka continues to refine a sound that moves between hypnotic minimalism, dark tech house, and experimental groove. Built on bold low-end, sly vocal hooks, and a fearless sense of texture, Balanka represents Gabriel Veiga’s signature vision; a rising Brazilian artist fusing club instincts with an unmistakably original touch.

Dropping on Short Circuit, “I Like Stats” captures Balanka’s playful yet precision-built energy, a celebration of groove, character, and modern underground.
