Nick León is part of a newer generation of Miami producers who infuse modern-day club music with sounds from around the region, everything from Miami bass to reggaeton. In León's case, his most recent—and most exciting—music has focused on beats inspired by reggaeton and its sub-genre perreo, but with a musical palette that speaks to a love of electronic music from Aphex Twin to Burial to music on labels like NAAFI and TraTraTrax. (This is a predilection he shares with DJ Python, whom León just launched a new party with.) 

It's on the latter label he released the Rompediscoteka EP, one of the canniest genre fusions he's done yet, meant to hark back to the feeling he had when he first discovered reggaeton. (It came with eye-opening remixes from Maral, Kelman Duran and Henzo, producers whose personal-but-global approach mirrors León's own.) He also head a head-turning EP on Future Times, which threw Miami-style electro into the mix, with an ambient touch.

Like his productions, the young Miami DJ's sets can range from slow and low to high and tight, and his RA Podcast captures León in peak-time mode. It's a Latin-spin on everything from techno to tech house to cool-kid club music, with selections from Nico, Simisea, Siete Catorce, Ricardo Villalobos and MM adding up to a vibrant and rhythmically restless hour that soars across genres and scenes.

"Listening to this mix is like sailing into a horizon at dawn. It draws you towards a steady line perpetually in view, creating an experience of both distance and nearness. You realize you will never reach the line but that’s ok — it was always there, hovering within you. This is not about arriving at any kind of external destination. It’s about presence. The sun draws its pastel curtain and day imperceptibly emerges. The water is glass; you don’t even notice that you’ve been out on it for a long time. When you let yourself float, transcendence becomes attainable. There are no high crests or crashing waves here — instead only a center point that invites you to focus deeply and let go."
