Hailing from Bogotá, Colombia, @ruizprod steps into the role of archival selector, tracing the beating heart of Afro-Colombian and pan-Latin American rhythm: from Petrona Martínez’s ancestral bullerengue and Cumbia's global ambassador Totó La Momposina to the lush, psychedelic swells of Los Mirlos and Los Destellos.

A rich blend of field recordings, dialogue and guitar lines, the mix pays homage to intimate family gatherings and the passing down of oral tradition. Erika also speaks candidly about her selections, gifting us an hour of cultural cartography that maps the borderless archive of Colombia’s Caribbean coast and the legacy of Afro-diasporic music in Latin America.

Erika Andrea Murcia Ruiz, known in the electronic music scene as RUIZ OSC1, is a
dynamic Latin DJ and producer hailing from Bogotá, Colombia.

RUIZ OSC1's proficiency in vinyl mixing has led her to perform at some of Europe's most
iconic venues like Basement NYC, Bassiani, Tresor, RSO, formats as Intercell, Vault
Sessions and showcases like Mutual Rytm to name a few.

Her journey into music was deeply influenced by her mother, a renowned music dealer
and singer who introduced her to the rich sounds of salsa, merengue, and classic
Colombian folklore during the late '80s and early '90s.

In 2010, RUIZ OSC1 relocated to Europe, carrying with her this diverse musical
heritage. She has since blended these influences with high-energy electronic beats,
creating a distinctive sound that is unmistakably hers—a seamless fusion of folkloric
rhythms and cutting-edge techno. Her style is characterized by its speed and precision,
offering a refreshing take on the genre she calls "folkloric groove techno.”

Along her career path as a producer, RUIZ OSC1 made her first appearance on KAOS
(Héctor Oaks' label) with a track on the "Ritualistic Discoteca" 12" collection and a solo
EP called "Grooveroots". This debut was followed by additional recordings and
collaborations with labels such as Emerald and Molekül, further showcasing her
evolving sound.

She is definitely one to watch and listen, with her authenticity and signature sound set to
guide crowds through a truly immersive musical journey.
