TRIBAL 2025 arrives as both a tribute and a reinvention of Mexican tribal—a genre that, since the early 2000s, has collided coastal percussion, pre-Hispanic rhythms, and regional sounds with global electronic music. From Monterrey and the State of Mexico to Guerrero-Oaxaca’s Costa Chica, tribal has left its mark on dance floors and shaped the cultural identity of a generation of Mexican and Latin American producers.

Over a decade after NAAFI helped put this sound on the map, TRIBAL 2025 offers a fresh take. This isn’t nostalgia. It’s the raw power of tribal—its driving rhythms, communal pulse, and deep-rooted cultural ties—pushed into conversation with experimental strands of contemporary music and new ways of thinking about the club.

The compilation gathers a new wave of producers exploring tribal from every angle: Clap Freckles, El Chico Callado, Dj Fucci, DNZA, Underwght, Dj Weed, HMR, Lao, Entrañas, El Irreal Veintiuno, Debit, Siete Catorce, Homie Luna, Ezya, Cler, Sandunga, Syztema, OZOMATECUHTLI, Ruido Con H, WTTLC, and Zutzut. Each track bends the genre, expands its edges, and asks: what can tribal mean today?

More than a tribute, TRIBAL 2025 is a declaration: tribal remains a space for experimentation, identity, and the global reach of Mexican electronic music.

Tecolotl ft Siete Catorce

Toka (Short Mix)

Selva Artificial

Abismo represents a powerful fusion of two electronic styles with deep Mexican roots: Circuit and Tribal Guarachero. The track’s infectious cadence blends Latin rhythmic tradition with a modern club sensibility—an anthem crafted with flavor and intensity for the dancefloor.

Clap Freckles is a Mexican DJ and producer from Monterrey with over a decade of experience in electronic music. Since the early days of the tribal movement, he has kept its essence alive and vibrant while expanding its possibilities. His distinctive style fuses Latin roots with contemporary electronic sounds, positioning him as both an emerging reference and a key figure in the evolution of Tribal Guarachero.

Jonathan Montoya, aka DATA HIGH, is a pioneer of the Venezuelan electronic music scene: with a career spanning 25 years, his broad interest in different rhythms from around the world has honed him into a genuinely multifaceted artist.

Data High looks beyond without losing faithfulness to his essence — and what better way to inaugurate our history of releases than with an album that synthesises and harmonises so many forms of plurality?

In Memoria Atemporal, a nostalgic air embraces the rhythm that runs through each track from a club perspective. And that club we're talking about here is mainly sustained by fragments that inevitably reveal a little of the history of Latin American electronic music throughout Data High's 25-year career — and, therefore, research. All of this, of course, is accompanied by the tropical warmth that the artist imprints like skin on the entire album.

Memoria Atemporal tells us a story that continues to resonate — and here we invite you to listen to it with us.
