Colombian stars Bomba Estéreo and powerhouse Venezuelan band Rawayana have joined forces to create the supergroup ASTROPICAL – a one-song collaboration that quickly evolved into a full project – combining the worlds of astrology and tropical grooves. The debut single “Me Pasa (Piscis)” combines both bands’ devotion to tropical music, and their smooth, sophisticated approach to rhythm and dancefloor atmospherics. Anchored on a sharp Afrobeats groove, the song shimmers to the sounds of Colombian gaita flute and an impossibly nostalgic guitar line. With its witty references to Colombian champeta, Venezuelan arepas and the Caribbean anthems of Juan Luis Guerra, "Me Pasa (Piscis)” reflects the artists’ connection to the soulful qualities of Latin American culture. “ASTROPICAL embodies an energy that already preceded us and needed to materialize,” explains Bomba Estéreo’s Li Saumet. “This is a very important time on a political, cultural and environmental level. We need melodies and lyrics such as these ones as a way of shepherding the moment.” “Musically, I feel like I’m the son of Bomba Estéreo,” says Rawayana’s Beto Montenegro. “When Li called us, it was like a dream come true. I’ve been thinking for so long that I treasure the sonic universe that Bomba Estéreo navigates.” In recent years, Bomba has collaborated with artists from Manu Chao to Nelly Furtado. But it was their 2022 'Un Verano Sin Ti' collaboration with Bad Bunny which was stratospheric as "Ojitos Lindos" has generated more than 3 billion streams. Since then, Bomba has become one of the biggest Latin bands on the global festival touring circuit, headlining major stages around the globe. And Rawayana is one of the most exciting indie acts in Latin music. In the past two years, the band has sold more than 200,000 tickets and released five albums on its own indie label. The band recently won their first Latin GRAMMY and is currently nominated for the 2025 GRAMMY Awards. The band has generated 7 million views on its NPR “Tiny Desk Concert” and is set to perform at Coachella this April.

While Clio’s heart is in techno music, he also credits hip hop,dance & dub music as important influences to him when younger.

Since then, he has worked on his own characteristic sound based on a groovy approach of music ,aimed at the dance-floor, but "cool" enough to appreciate it at home or in the living room. 

With his first solo productions on "Metroline Limited", Clio gains some good exposure,as the "For Sure Baby" EP was really well received.

A track and an EP that went on to feature on Loco Dice's Beatport Charts and became an instant hit during the Ibiza season back in 2010.

Few months later,he caught the attention of Nic Fanciulli.

Nic instantly spotted Clio's talent and quickly signed him to his Saved records label.

2012,a brillant year where are released several productions of Clio on some top labels such as "Saved" ("Into the disco EP") , "Rawthentic" ("Your Eyes" EP), "Metroline Limited ("Do it" EP")...plus some remixes for Thomas Schumacher ("Electric Ballroom") and DJ Le Roi ("Noir Music"). 

Following the success of his releases, Clio sees his tracks licensed for "Cocoon" heroes (compilation mixed by Joris Voorn),but also on "Balance" mix series (mixed by Nic Fanciulli) ,"SonneMond Stern" compilation (mixed by Mathias Kaden),"Subliminal Compilation (mixed by Erick Morillo).

Between 2013 and 2015, Clio has quickly risen through the ranks and has most recently featured on "Drumcode" and "Truesoul" ,both run by Adam Beyer.

Hailing from Athens, GA., of Montreal have carved their own niche – establishing themselves as a band that thrills fans with compelling live performances, delights critics with their constant innovations, and continually showcases their musical evolution by drawing from a different set of influences for each album.

Primary songwriter Kevin Barnes pours emotion – heartbreak, frustration, elation, whimsy – into lyrics that shift from adopted personas to invented alter egos to unobstructed views directly into their psyche.
