ENERBEAT
Cristian Laurito aka Enerbeat (UY) is a DJ and producer from Punta del Este, Maldonado, Uruguay.
His fascination for music started since he was a kid where he tried different types of instruments, but he always felt most attracted to the sound of percussion instruments. In 2010 his love for electronic music began, and in 2021 he took his first steps as a DJ in different music events and parties.
Currently he is taking his first steps as a producer, incorporating melodic and slightly melancholic sounds in his creations, but with the characteristics of a techno base, trying to achieve the balance between the peace of the melodic and the power of the kick that is his trademark.

FIKA (REMIX)
Remixing “Fika” with Enerbeat: A Deep Dive into the Creative Process
Working on the remix of Alan Wood’s track “Fika,” released by Wise Jester Records, has been an exciting and rewarding experience. As the Music Producer of this project, I had the pleasure of collaborating with Enerbeat, a talented DJ and producer based in La Barra, Maldonado, Uruguay. Despite the geographical distance, we seamlessly composed, edited, mixed, and mastered the remix entirely via Zoom. Here’s a look into how we revitalized “Fika” with a fresh perspective.
Our creative process began with detailed Zoom sessions, where Enerbeat and I exchanged ideas and honed our approach for the remix. We delved into the capabilities of software synthesizers, prominently featuring Arturia V Collection X among other tools, to develop a distinctive sound for the remix. These synthesizers were crucial in crafting the fresh textures and tones that distinguish our version of “Fika.”
For the rhythmic elements, we meticulously selected sample packs with high-quality melodic techno sounds and textures. Each drum hit and percussive layer was chosen to enhance the track’s energy and drive, forming a solid foundation that complements the new remix elements.
The remix’s essence lies in its synthesizer-driven melodies. Enerbeat focused on crafting engaging synth lines that provide a new emotional depth to the track, while I worked on integrating these elements into a cohesive mix. The result is a remix that not only respects the original but also adds a vibrant, contemporary edge.
The remix of “Fika” marks the beginning of an exciting new phase. Enerbeat and I are already deep into producing several new tracks, exploring innovative directions within melodic techno. Expect to hear more groundbreaking and engaging music as we continue to expand our creative horizons.
ALL I NEED
Teams Up with Julient for “All I Need” EP: A Fusion of Emotion and Energy
Working on Enerbeat’s latest EP in collaboration with German singer Julient, released by Electric Eden Records, has been a truly exciting process. The lead track, “All I Need,” is the heart of this release, blending emotional melodies with the driving energy that defines Enerbeat’s sound. As the producer behind the scenes, it’s been an incredible journey to shape these tracks remotely. We composed, edited, mixed, and mastered everything via Zoom, overcoming distance with creativity.
A unique aspect of this project was collaborating with Julient, who recorded his vocals in his home studio in Hungary. After receiving the vocal tracks, we meticulously processed and edited them to perfectly integrate with the instrumental elements. This remote setup added a new layer to our creative process, but the result was seamless—each element of the track fell into place like it was meant to be.
For “All I Need,” we dove deep into sound design, using synths like Arturia V Collection X and Wavetable to create the EP’s signature sound. These tools allowed us to craft lush, sweeping melodies while still maintaining the punchy, energetic beats that Enerbeat is known for. The juxtaposition of sweet, emotional melodies with driving, club-ready rhythms is what gives this track its unique character.
The goal with this EP was to showcase Enerbeat’s more emotional side. While the beats pack a punch, there’s an undeniable tenderness in the melodies that Julient’s vocals beautifully complement. It was important for us to strike the right balance—creating a track that’s both moving and danceable, perfect for late-night sets but also evocative on a deeper level.
Enerbeat and I aren’t stopping here. We’re already working on several new projects, continuing to push the boundaries of emotional and energetic electronic music. Expect more tracks that blur the lines between club anthems and introspective journeys, as we keep exploring new sonic territories together.
