Mariposa, Baby Evil & Benedict James today share their collaborative club anthem ‘Quatro Mili’, released via NLV Records.

Created during the NLV Records-curated APRA AMCOS SongHubs writing camp at Wisseloord Studios in Amsterdam during Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) 2025, ‘Quatro Mili’ brings together Australian/Swiss-based Benedict James, Moroccan producer Baby Evil and Colombian-Italian vocalist Mariposa to showcase each of their talents in an exchange of slick verses and production.

Amplifying Mariposa‘s vocals with lively drops and electronic sheen courtesy of Benedict James and Baby Evil, ‘Quatro Mili’ brings in each artists’ combined essence. “During the Amsterdam Dance Event, we got together on the final day of the NLV writing camp. There was a lot going on in the city that week but the sessions were in this classic studio way out of town and everybody ended up just locked-in in the little village working” shares Benedict James. “There was a listening session in the afternoon and we were pushing to have something ready to play. The track ended up coming together fast enough for us to sit around adding laser sounds and drinking beers.”

Mariposa adds “Baby Evil and I had a session planned with Benedict James that day. I didn’t know the other artists at the camp or what their sound was like, so it was interesting to walk into the session without a clear idea of what we would make together. Within an hour, we already had a rough sketch of both the beat and the lyrics. Ideas kept coming so naturally that, only a few hours into the session, the beat was there and most of the words had been written. I remember looking back on it and being surprised by how much we’d made in such a short time. We didn’t know what to expect when we walked in, but creatively it clicked right away.”

Taking a whole new approach to making music, on the production process of the track Baby Evil reveals “One of the funniest parts for me was being the only producer at the camp using FL Studio, while everyone else was working in different DAWs. After a few beers and some banter, we figured out a way to connect my setup to the interface Benedict James was using, and I just started throwing in random hi-hat rolls, percussion and, of course, some crazy laser sounds.”

‘Quatro Mili’ follows Lady Shaka’s ‘Sweat’ with Yorta Yorta artist DJ PGZ, UK producer Karma Kid, Italian-Australian artist DoloRRes and Brazilian artist Zaila, another cut crafted during the NLV Records x Songhubs writing camp during Amsterdam Dance Event in 2025 which united global artists in creative connection. With ‘Quatro Mili’, we see three completely different influences and backgrounds brought together for an energetic release much in line with the NLV Records back catalogue. Best put by Mariposa, “I love how many different influences found their way into this track. We each came into the studio with our own background and instincts, and nobody tried to make those fit a particular formula. For me, that’s what makes it special: you can hear three different perspectives meeting and making something that feels like its own thing.”
