Los Cueros Al Sol

Phran, Florentino & Pocz - Zarbak II

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.

Merca Bae Presents: Down Theory, the second instalment in the label’s artist-led curation series, arriving 13th November. Curated by Merca Bae, the compilation delves into the landscape of Downtempo Bass music, intertwining between Dancehall, Tarraxo, Breaks, and Reggaeton.

Through this release, Merca Bae spotlights the wide scope of Downtempo music and its continued presence across global underground scenes. Over the past few years, club music has trended toward higher BPMs and relentless, fast-paced energy, but Down Theory offers a space to explore slower, weightier & sexier rhythms as a way to embrace slower, bass-driven music in a club environment.

The project features contributions from Chá Di Lirian, Grindalf, and Entrañas, alongside established producers styn and Faraonika, and introduces Unayo and Tempo Fino, who debut their first productions under new aliases.

Down Theory offers a cohesive yet wide-ranging snapshot of contemporary low-end experimentation.

If you thought Miss Jay & SukuBratz’s Destello couldn’t possibly be taken any higher, think again ✨ After a lineup of fierce reworks from underground heavyweights like Brodinski, AMANTRA, DJ Fucci, and RKills, the track is being reborn once more, this time at the hands of the boss herself, Miss Jay.

In true MJ fashion, she flips Destello into an electrifying, deconstructed club VIP that’s pure chaos in the best way possible. The tempo jumps from 100 to 130 in a heartbeat, jolting us straight into a sex-bass-induced state of euphoria. The percussion is a wild global fusion, icy, layered, and unpredictable—while the reimagined vocal chops twist and turn like a “choose-your-own-adventure” for your body and your brain. Just when you think you’ve got it figured out, Miss Jay switches it up again, keeping everyone guessing (and grinning) from start to finish.

With Applause｜Paloma Colombe presents Dihya, DJ and curator Paloma Colombe delivers an embodied compilation, deeply rooted in her time, conceived as an exploration of the percussive 2.0 scene. Driven by a desire to amplify marginalized voices within the music industry, she brings together 11 artists from these communities.

The musical direction is unmistakable — each track draws its club energy from the richness of drum patterns and the power of syncopated rhythms.
Paloma Colombe summons them as forces of transcendence and healing, giving shape to her vision of the party.

“They bring the body and the mind into a kind of trance that pushes you to open up, to free yourself. You can cry in the club! What matters is to let it out, to feel better.”

Nourished by her Amazigh heritage and her immersion in the radical queer scene of California, Paloma Colombe envisions the club as a space of fertile friction between ritual, resistance, and release.

A single image runs through her imagination:

“A group of 60 Kabyle women singing and clapping in syncopation. There lies the essence of the collective, the rhythm that connects and soothes, the sacredness of music, and the feet firmly grounded in the earth — here, the club.”

Applause｜Paloma Colombe presents Dihya opens a space to dance, celebrate, and come together — to resist, together.
