Born in Honduras and based in Chicago, Nestor Arriaga is an electronic music producer and performer crafting sounds that bridge minimal, house, deep, and breakbeat. With roots in modular synthesis and a self-taught approach to production, his music blends technical precision with emotional depth.
Drawing influence from 80s textures, jazz, funk, and classical, Nestor shapes grooves that are both introspective and built for the dancefloor. Inspired by artists like Joris Voorn, Stefano Noferini, and Stephan Bodzin, his sound balances rhythm, melody, and atmosphere in equal measure.

Having performed across the Americas and Europe, Nestor Arriaga is known for immersive, dynamic DJ sets. He’s currently working on several upcoming EPs and developing a hybrid live show that fuses hardware performance with modular synthesis for a truly unique experience.

Minimal Hertz #006 | Nestor Arriaga

Digital & vinyl label

Inspired by the recent events and faces creeping through the ever-awakening party lair of their hometown, a small bunch of Split native DJ's, producers and promoters has finally arrived to a deciding plot of founding their newborn - an electronic music label. "Sit Down Recordings" should take place in the midst of a highly developed Mediterranean club scene right at its peek, creating space amongst the aggressive tech house impact on the side of another, festively intensive summer swarm gathered and powered around the exclusive, massive electronic music events taking place here the last few years. 

The uprising of the fresh and powerful new scene has eventually risen with the flavours of a less self-contained taste of the founders and with the clear intention to beget a flow of some juicier picks and licks. They be brought to mind by styles and genres of soulful house, tech house with jazzy keyboards and deep pads. And then some... The attempt is observable: to bring forth the atmosphere and prana of Chicago and New York in some more laid - back manner, combining artists, mixtapes and, hopefully, live events, all into the walls of the anciently energised walls and lands and their modern subcultural antipodes.

So be their way, in the right way, cheers!

Minimal Hertz is a Music Collective and a Music Event focussed on the underground music scene, our aim and mission is for music inclusivity both from behind the decks and on the dance floor. As the music we listen to and the equipment we use to make it develops - we are often left in a predicament and often focus too much on what the name of the style/genre we are listening to or we get stuck in a box of a certain style. 

As a result we aim to have our DJ’s & Artists we work with to curate a journey with no boundaries to the styles of music they select within the dance music scene, (Not to be confused with Open Format) From this approach we hope to have dance floors that are blended in unison motion and that are free to express themselves and DJ sets that are not limited in set durations and set times. 

In the same light of not being limited by boundaries - we do not have a fixed base as the brand is carried by the individuals associated with Minimal Hertz and exists wherever they are in the world. We hope and aim to create intimate events around the world where we feel our energy is best reciprocated. We will have a limited use “phone policy” on our floors in light of allowing people to fully express themselves. 

We hope to work with similar minded artists and venue managers/owners who share the same goal and vision we do. 

Feel free to get in touch if you are an upcoming artist/DJ in the Minimal | Tech | House scene and would like to contribute to the movement!🙏

We hope to see you soon at one of our events!

Stay Groovy & Positive
