Queer artist Nieri teams up DJs Protopapa & Hey Cabrera! for ‘FACE’ remix
Following the release of his debut EP “Starshine”, rising dance pop artist Nieri is teaming up with DJs Protopapa and Hey Cabrera! for the remix of his song “Face”. The two DJs are staples in Italy’s electronic music and nightlife scene, and are transforming the single into an hypnotizing house track. Pulsating synths, and bouncy drums are paired with Nieri’s vocals, immediately transporting the listener to the best clubs of Europe, and beyond.
“I’ve been a fan of Protopapa’s music for a while, and of everything he’s doing with his label Fluido Studio, putting LGBTQIA+ artists on the map in Italy”, Nieri says. “When I reached out to collaborate, he involved Hey Cabrera! and I couldn’t be more thrilled. They’re both amazing artists, and I feel like we share similar musical influences – the remix is definitely a track I would enjoy dancing to at the club!”
FACE (Protopapa + Hey Cabrera! Remix) is the first of a series of collaborations with DJs and producers who will reinvent Nieri’s tracks.
