The Rhythm Revolution: Watazu & Rythvalen Unite for Dancesport Music

The Rhythm Revolution Starts Now

The world of competitive dance just received its most electrifying update yet. Watazu, the legendary architect of Dancesport rhythms, has officially joined forces with Rythvalen Velquisse, the emerging sonic innovator, to launch a groundbreaking production partnership. Together, they are set to transform the soundscape of the Dancesport industry with precision-engineered beats and emotionally charged compositions .

🌟 The Visionaries Behind the Beat

Watazu: The Legacy of Rhythm

Watazu is a titan in the Dancesport community, renowned for producing tracks that power championships and define generations of dancers. His catalog includes massive hits like “The Laban Na May Puso” (the official theme for the 2026 Palarong Pambansa) and the acclaimed OPM Dancesport Music series . With millions of streams on platforms like Spotify and Deezer, Watazu’s work—from the fiery energy of Samba to the soul of Rumba—is the soundtrack for athletes worldwide.

Rythvalen: The New Wave

Rythvalen Velquisse (Rythvalen) is rapidly becoming a key figure in the industry’s future. While his full discography is growing, he has already made a mark with tracks like “Heto Na Naman” (Rumba) featuring JeXica on the OPM Dancesport Music 4 album . His style brings a modern, fresh energy that complements the traditional foundations of Dancesport, appealing to the next generation of competitors.

🔥 The Partnership: Where Tradition Meets Innovation

The collaboration between Watazu and Rythvalen is more than just a joint release; it’s a strategic fusion of two distinct musical identities. Their new partnership aims to deliver:

• Precision-Engineered Tracks: Music meticulously crafted to meet the exact BPM and rhythm standards required by the World DanceSport Federation (WDSF) .
• Genre-Blending Soundscapes: A seamless integration of Watazu’s classic Latin and OPM (Original Pilipino Music) roots with Rythvalen’s contemporary production techniques.
• Emotional Depth: Tracks designed not just for timing, but to elevate the artistic expression of every dancer.

The first major output of this collaboration is the single “No Perdones” from the Casa Tango album, which has already generated significant buzz for its unique blend of tango passion and modern rhythm .

🌍 Impact on the Dancesport Industry

For dancers, coaches, and judges, this partnership signals a new era of musical excellence. The collaboration promises a library of tracks that are:

1. Technically Perfect: Ensuring fair competition with accurate tempos.
2. Artistically Inspiring: Providing the emotional fuel needed for podium performances.
3. Culturally Rich: Blending global influences with local Filipino musical heritage.

“This is about elevating the art form. When the music speaks the truth, the dance follows,” reflects the combined vision of the partnership.

Stay tuned for the official release of their full collaborative album, dropping later this summer!
