Musical career
2001-2003: The Early Years
Luny Tunes was reggaeton's first major hitmaking production team, cranking out an assembly line of hit singles, club anthems, and CD mixtapes, all the while collaborating with many of the style's top vocalists. Luny Tunes were given their big break by DJ Nelson, a reggaeton pioneer who recognized their production talents, which had been well showcased on Hector & Tito's A La Reconquista (2002), and signed them to his Flow Music label. Luny Tunes in turn made their major-label debut, alongside another promising young production talent, Noriega, on Mas Flow (2003). The CD mixtape featured most of reggaeton's top vocalists of the time (Daddy Yankee, Don Omar, Tego Calderón, Wisin & Yandel, Hector & Tito, Zion & Lennox, Baby Ranks, Nicky Jam, Trebol Clan, and many more) and firmly established the duo as a go-to production team. The CD was a huge commercial success in Latin America and was one of the top Latin albums in the United States.
2004-2007: Rise to International Fame
The following year Luny Tunes continued to further their reputation, establishing themselves as hitmakers when "Gasolina," one of their numerous productions featured on Daddy Yankee's Barrio Fino (2004), became a worldwide hit and club anthem. In addition to Barrio Fino, Luny Tunes also contributed productions to acclaimed albums by Don Omar (The Last Don, 2003) and Tego Calderón (El Abayarde, 2003), as well as albums by Eddie Dee (Los 12 Discípulos, 2004), Ivy Queen (Diva, 2004), Zion & Lennox (Motivando a la Yal, 2004), Nicky Jam (Vida Escante, 2004), and Trebol Clan (Los Bacatranes, 2004) — all of this within a two-year span. Their instrumentals and musical styles were creating a new standard in reggaeton in general.
In 2005, Luny Tunes released Mas Flow, Vol. 2, their first all-new album since the previous volume, and in 2006 they released a third, Mas Flow: Los Benjamins, along with a second compilation of previously released material, Reggaeton Hits, which had been preceded by a prior best-of collection, La Trayectoria (2004). The next mixtape dropped in 2007, Los Benjamins: La Continuacion, not long after the duo's second volume in the Kings of the Beats instrumental series. By this point, Luny Tunes were employing various assistant producers (Tainy, Jose M. Gomez, Nely "El Arma Secreta", Doble A & Nales "Los Presidentes", Mr. G, Dimitri "El Boss" and many more), who were employed as part of the Mas Flow Inc. production factory. As of 2007, they have produced more than 500 songs.
Luny Tunes are also known for bringing up new producers in the genre such as Nesty "La Mente Maestra", Naldo, Tainy, Nely "El Arma Secreta", Bones "The Musical Alchemist", Thilo "La Navaja de Doble Filo," Loz Fantaztikoz and Miki "La Mano Bionica."
[edit] 2008-Present
Luny Tunes still reside in Puerto Rico where they own a studio estimated to be worth around US$3.5 million. On September 25, 2007 it was announced that Luny Tunes entered a five year production agreement with Fuego Entertainment. They will co-produce two albums per year to be released under Fuego Entertainment's music division, Fuego Entertainment Music International.

Olvido hasta mi nombre
Contigo me siento ser más
Que un simple hombre
Contigo me voy
Hasta el borde de la locura
No importa razón
Quiero decirte, baby
Que me desvelo si no siento tu pelo
Contigo yo vuelo
Hasta tocar el cielo
Si no estás yo siento que muero
Sin ti
Cuando estás con el
Yo te quiero sentir
Cada espacio de tu piel
Amor amor amándote
Beso a beso
Me hace falta todo y nada
Tengo si estoy sin ti
Ayer te amé y hoy te amo más
Y yo estoy seguro que mañana crecerá
Si no estás
El tiempo se convierte en ansiedad
Y me pongo a pensar en el pasado
Y en los momentos
Cuando hacíamos el amor
Desde la cama al suelo
Y luego una vez más
Oh no
Temores si no estás
Porque tú eres la causa y la razón
Por lo cual yo siento frío
Si no estás yo siento que muero
Sin ti
Cuando estás con el
Yo te quiero sentir
Cada espacio de tu piel
Amor amor amándote
Beso a beso
Me hace falta todo y nada
Tengo si estoy sin ti
Si no estás yo siento que muero
Sin ti
Cuando estás con el
Yo te quiero sentir
Cada espacio de tu piel
Amor amor amándote
Beso a beso
Me hace falta todo y nada
Tengo si estoy sin ti
The lyrics of "Contigo" by Luny Tunes & Tainy express the deep connection and love the singer has for their partner. They forget everything, even their own name, when they look into their partner's eyes. With them, they feel like more than just a simple human being. They are willing to go to the edge of madness just to be with them, and when they are not around, it hurts their heart. The singer wants to express to their partner that they can't sleep without them and they feel like they are flying when they are together.
The lyrics also talk about how the singer can't live without their partner. They feel like they are dying when they are not around, and they want to feel every inch of their partner's skin. Every kiss is important to them, and they need everything and nothing at the same time. The singer reminisces about the times they made love and how it felt like they were on the bed and the floor simultaneously. They fear being without their partner, and they feel cold when they are not around.
Overall, "Contigo" is a romantic song that speaks about the power and intensity of love. The lyrics express a deep sense of connection, and the beat and melody of the song add to the emotional impact.
