Desierto de los Leones

As a sound artist, I am very interested in synthesizers, field recordings, and especially in listening to new music and sounds, and the people who produce them. This is a simple mix of some of the tracks that have motivated me the most lately :)

Cosy Waves W/ Balam Ronan 010124

It is a mix of experimental music from the Mexican scene, music that dances, walks and jumps between tradition and evolution, between rhythms and frequencies, between harmonies and textures, that can both whisper and scream in our ears, that invite us to stop and move at the same time.

NOISES FROM MEXICO W/ BALAM RONAN 311224

As a DJ  I seek to create playlists and DJ sets composed of music that dares to move and transform itself in the non-linearity of genres and styles, music that is not created with the typical instruments of western music, or yes, but using them with other rhythms, other bodies, other voices, other codes. Music created with the intention of criticizing and resisting hetero-patriarchal, racist and capitalist systems.
I am thinking of musics that re-signify the musics themselves, as well as the lyrics of the songs, and the moments and contexts in which the musics are or used to be produced and reproduced, which in many cases excluded women, the LGBTQ+ community and people of color.
Music to fly, music to dance, music to think, music to imagine other possible worlds.

Experimental

I’m interested that music that caresses your ear, that vibrates slowly, like when you hug someone, or take a deep breath, or walk barefoot. I’m interested in those timbres that seem fragile, at the same time that take you where the high frequencies vibrate, where some kind of peaceful joy happens.

Playlist to Float with the Waves w/ Balam Ronan 300425

When I moved to Switzerland from Mexico, something that changed my world a lot was the soundscape, the languages, the ways of speaking, the music. This mix is made up of some types of music that I took for granted when I lived in Mexico, but when I moved, I began to miss them very much.
