CAO096 Leo Leonski & Shoao - Acid Gato

“Acid Gato” is a forward-driven club track built around a tight and solid groove, where bass and drums lock in to create an immediate urge to dance. Slightly aggressive in nature, the track carries a raw, street-wise attitude, enhanced by Brazilian Portuguese vocals that bring flow, character, and urban energy.

Produced at Veleta Studios in Tulum, Mexico, the track emerged from a collaborative process rooted in experimentation. What began as a simple idea months earlier was reshaped multiple times until Leo Leonski and Shoao sat down together in the studio, allowing new inspiration to take over. Acid bass lines, Latin American percussion, and carioca-influenced vocals were layered in, giving the track its distinctive identity.

At its core, “Acid Gato” balances indie dance textures with Latin rhythms and a warm yet punchy bass line designed for the dance floor. Favela funk-inspired vocals sit on top, adding grit and groove, pushing the track into a bold and hypnotic territory.

Made in Latin America for global dance floors, “Acid Gato” is a driving, uncompromising release that captures the essence of movement, rhythm, and raw club energy — true to the spirit of Cacao Records.
