[18 July 2025] Today Filipino-Australian producer Juno Mamba has teamed up with Indonesian-Australian producer Rino to deliver new collaborative single ‘Meant2Be’, a track spanning realms of soaring euphoria and hypnotic rhythms.

Alongside the release, Juno Mamba announces his debut UK and European tour, kicking off this September and October with 10 shows across the region, including club dates with edapollo and a coveted slot at Amsterdam Dance Event, where he joins Ben Böhmer’s curated lineup at DGTL Festival.

Bonding over their love for UK electronic music and experiences as Asian immigrant kids, the two instantly connected in the studio on a deep level. ‘Meant2Be’ captures the connection they felt in the studio that day, conveying deep emotions through meditative yet energetic textures and melodies.

‘Meant2Be’ came together quickly and organically. Rino and I jumped into the studio and, within minutes of meeting, we’d connected on a deep level. It felt like we’d been friends our whole lives. There was an immediate sense of mutual respect and trust in what we each brought to the table, which allowed us to share ideas and make changes on the fly without judgement. This track captures the exact energy and spirit we felt in the studio that day.” – Juno Mamba

‘Meant2Be’ arrives on the heels of a prolific run of collaborative singles for Juno Mamba. Recent collaborations include ‘1 DAY 2 LATE’ with Mild Minds, and ‘U Always’ with edapollo, which earned the cover of UK tastemaker Spotify playlist Altar and airplay on BBC Radio 1. ‘U Always’ was later remixed by LUV HRTS, the project of GRAMMY Award-nominated producer Benjamin David (Mild Minds) and Victor Pakpour of Ruby Haunt.

Rino’s journey into electronic music has seen him release three EP’s - Expanse and Flow-on, released via Sydney label Gallery Recordings, and Running in Pairs, via UK DJ Seb Wildblood’s label All My Thoughts. His sonic world conveys deep human emotions, with forward-thinking soundscapes and meditative rhythms, and has earned him support from Spotify’s Portal, Night Shift, Fresh Finds and Sunday Sessions, as well as airplay on triple j, Double J, SYN & Kiss FM.

Juno and I quickly bonded over our shared appreciation for textural UK electronic music. Our instant connection in the studio yielded a streamlined creative process, meaning we ended up writing ‘Meant2Be’ very quickly. During the early sketches of the track, we came to realise that we experienced very similar things growing up as Asian immigrant kids. A lot of our early memories had lots of parallels so we channelled that into the music we made. It’s a combination of nostalgia and escapism- a recollection of sentiments from the past and reframing that into something that feels dreamy and warm.” – Rino

Juno Mamba kicked off 2025 as the main support for dance rock icons New Order including performances at Sydney Opera House and Sidney Myer Music Bowl as part of the Australian tour, followed by a sold-out Melbourne show with Sultan + Shepard and a support slot for tech house icon MK. He is currently supporting revered electronic duo Kiasmos on their Australian tour.
