Italo-Venezuelan DJ and producer Chris Candela has joined forces with Argentinian artist Bauti Tesei for ‘LCA’ (Lights, Camera, Action), a new club-focused collaboration released on October 23, 2026, through Nico Falla’s The Sun Grooves. Created during a studio session in Mallorca shortly after Amsterdam Dance Event 2025, the track combines powerful basslines, punchy percussion, original vocals and real camera shutter sounds, bringing together elements of Tech House and Bass House.
A friendship that began through music production advice has evolved into a new international collaboration.
Chris Candela and Bauti Tesei have officially released LCA, a production that brings together their individual approaches to contemporary electronic music.
The track was developed in Mallorca, Spain, following Amsterdam Dance Event 2025, when the Argentinian producer travelled to the Balearic Island to spend several days working alongside Candela.
What began as a collaborative studio session eventually became a complete release on The Sun Grooves, the electronic music label associated with producer Nico Falla.
Built around the concept of cameras, attention and the excitement of stepping into the spotlight, LCA introduces an unusual sonic identity through sounds taken from real photographic equipment.
The result is a production that connects the groove-driven foundations of Tech House with the heavier bass elements of Bass House.
From Amsterdam Dance Event to a Mallorca Studio
The story behind LCA begins in October 2025.
Shortly after attending Amsterdam Dance Event, Bauti Tesei travelled to Mallorca, where he joined Chris Candela for several days of music production.
The artists had already developed a relationship through their shared involvement in electronic music, but the visit provided an opportunity to work together in person.
According to the project’s official press release, the production started when Tesei introduced the bassline that would become the track’s central rhythmic element.
The producers then worked together on the percussion, developing the arrangement around the groove.
Candela subsequently wrote and recorded the vocals, introducing another recognizable element to the composition.
Rather than following a conventional studio workflow built around an existing vocal sample, the pair created several of the track’s defining musical elements during their collaboration.
The production gradually developed into a club-oriented record designed around the idea of being in front of the cameras.
‘Lights, Camera, Action’: The Sounds Behind the Track
One of the most distinctive aspects of LCA is its sound design.
To reinforce the concept behind the title, Candela and Tesei incorporated recordings of camera shutters and photographic effects into the arrangement.
These sounds contribute to the track’s identity while interacting with its percussion and bassline.
The production centers on tight drums, a prominent low-end groove and deep vocals.
Its second breakdown introduces a more atmospheric passage, creating contrast before the main rhythmic elements return.
This change in intensity provides a sense of progression without moving away from the track’s club-focused direction.
The original mix runs at 129 BPM, combining Tech House influences with the heavier production characteristics associated with Bass House.
While the artists describe the single as a Tech House collaboration, Beatport categorizes the release under Bass House.
That crossover reflects the musical backgrounds of both producers, whose catalogues include productions exploring different areas of contemporary club music.
A Friendship That Started on YouTube
The collaboration carries a personal history that goes beyond the recording itself.
Chris Candela and Bauti Tesei first connected through CDCVLOGS, the YouTube channel created by Candela.
At the time, Candela regularly shared music production advice, recommendations and feedback with emerging producers.
Tesei was among the artists who connected with him through the platform.
Over time, their professional relationship developed into a friendship.
One particularly memorable moment arrived when Candela discovered Tesei’s music in a playlist associated with FISHER’s record label, Catch & Release.
The Argentinian producer had successfully signed music to the internationally recognized imprint.
For Candela, the achievement represented an important moment in their shared history.
In the official press release, he recalls being surprised and proud to discover how far Tesei had progressed since their initial conversations.
He also acknowledges the support he later received from Tesei when launching his own club-focused project.
The relationship eventually came full circle when the two producers entered the studio together.
Their collaboration demonstrates how informal exchanges between artists can develop into long-term professional connections.
Chris Candela: From CDCVLOGS to International Record Labels
Chris Candela is the artistic project of Cristóbal Delgado Candela, an Italo-Venezuelan producer and content creator based in Mallorca.
Before developing his current DJ and production identity, he established CDCVLOGS, a YouTube channel dedicated to electronic music production, industry news and educational content.
Through the platform, Candela has shared his knowledge of music technology and electronic production while connecting with producers from different countries.
In 2025, he introduced the Chris Candela artist project with a stronger focus on club-oriented electronic music.
Since then, his catalogue has expanded through releases associated with labels including mau5trap, Future House Music and Hysteria.
His productions explore contemporary Tech House, Bass House and related electronic styles.
The collaboration with Bauti Tesei represents another step in that development, combining the technical background of his educational work with his growing career as a recording artist.
It also highlights his connection to Mallorca, where the new single was originally produced.
Bauti Tesei: Argentina’s Growing Presence in Tech House
Bauti Tesei, whose full name is Bautista Tesei, is an Argentinian DJ and producer who began his musical journey in 2018.
His earliest productions explored EDM and Bass House, influenced by internationally recognized electronic music artists including Swedish House Mafia and Skrillex.
Over time, his musical direction evolved toward Tech House.
His catalogue has since included releases through labels such as Catch & Release, Myth of Nyx and 1001Tracklists.
Among his notable productions is Shake Dat, released through FISHER’s Catch & Release in August 2025.
His artist biography also reports support from established DJs including FISHER, Marco Carola, Paco Osuna, Cloonee, Benny Benassi and Miguel Bastida.
These connections have contributed to his development within the international electronic music scene.
The collaboration with Chris Candela introduces another dimension to his catalogue, combining his bass-driven production style with a concept developed through a shared studio experience.
The Sun Grooves Welcomes the Collaboration
LCA arrives through The Sun Grooves, the independent electronic music label associated with Nico Falla.
The imprint focuses on club-oriented electronic sounds, including Tech House, Bass House and related underground styles.
Its catalogue features music from emerging and established producers, with a focus on rhythm-driven releases designed for DJs and electronic music audiences.
The label has also previously released productions connected to Chris Candela.
The arrival of LCA continues that relationship while introducing Bauti Tesei to another independent electronic music platform.
For the two producers, the release connects a collaborative recording process with a label whose musical direction aligns with their production styles.
A Collaboration Built on Mutual Support
Although LCA is designed for the dancefloor, its background reflects a broader story about relationships within electronic music.
The project began with two artists exchanging ideas online, developed through professional support and eventually resulted in a face-to-face studio collaboration.
For Candela, seeing Tesei release music through Catch & Release was an important milestone.
For Tesei, working together in Mallorca offered an opportunity to create something inspired by the energy surrounding Amsterdam Dance Event.
The concept of cameras and spotlights provided the creative direction for the production.
Rather than relying exclusively on established musical conventions, the pair incorporated unusual recorded sounds to establish a recognizable identity.
The result combines their individual influences in a release that reflects both their musical interests and their longstanding friendship.
‘LCA’ Is Out Now
Following its creation in Mallorca after ADE 2025, LCA is now available across digital music platforms through The Sun Grooves.
The release adds another collaboration to the growing catalogues of Chris Candela and Bauti Tesei.
For Candela, it continues the development of his club-focused artist project following releases on established electronic music imprints.
For Tesei, it represents another international collaboration as he expands his presence within Tech House and Bass House.
Together, the producers have transformed an idea developed during a studio visit into a finished electronic music release.
‘LCA’ (Lights, Camera, Action) by Chris Candela and Bauti Tesei was released on October 23, 2026, through The Sun Grooves. The 129 BPM production is available on Beatport and major streaming platforms.
