Riot Ten<\/a> has officially released “Mamacita,” a collaboration with Love Island<\/em> contestant Nic Vansteenberghe, sampling the reality TV star in a track that’s guaranteed to get reactions across all stages.<\/p>\n The viral moment first aired during the 9th episode of the show’s 7th season, when fellow islander Huda Mustafa revealed she was a single mother. Her line “I’m a mommy” led to Vansteenberghe responding with his offbeat “Mommy? Mamacita,” unknowingly creating one of the season’s most replayed memes.<\/p>\n Fans flooded TikTok with edits and remixes, and by June, Riot Ten had already flipped the line into a track that he initially dropped on SoundCloud. Coincidentally, Vansteenberghe is also a diehard raver, even showing up to Riot Ten’s set at Bass Canyon this year after the viral moment.<\/p>\n “Coming into the villa I had a love for bass music and had been attending festivals for years prior,” Vansteenberghe said. “Now leaving the villa, I had the opportunity to release a song with one of my favorite DJs in the scene. Life is so unpredictable and crazy in the best ways.”<\/p>\n They’ve now teamed up to officially distribute the track on streaming platforms, marking Vansteenberghe’s debut music release as Freakonico. In terms of production, Riot Ten trades his bass-heavy roots for a house intro that prioritizes crisp percussion, fitting for a Love Island<\/em> sample. He eventually uncorks a darker, more heavy-hitting bass drop that fans will more readily recognize after the producer’s ferocious album, Requiem for a Riot<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n You can listen to \u201cMamacita\u201d below and find the new single on streaming platforms here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
