Happy Thursday my friends, it’s time to get your headphones on and hit play on our new Tarab episode! 🔥🎧🎶

Emerging from the underground scene of Mexico City, this week's guest mix was crafted by the duo of Mexican producers, Catatonique. Blending elements of downtempo, slow-techno, and ethnic music, they have successfully developed a distinctive sound that is recognizable for its dark atmospheres, heavy-hitting basslines, and meaningful, progressive compositions. 🌃🎹🎛️ 

When playing live, aside from the duo's tight connection, they are experts at balancing original tracks, remixes, bootlegs, and unreleased edits, along with live instruments and psychedelic generative visuals, offering the audience a truly mesmerizing experience. 🎵🎸🌀

They are the founders of @Subnautique Records and have released music on various renowned labels such as @akasharecordsmx, @baikalnomads, @kosamusica, @lump-rec, and @shango-records, among others. 📀🔖💿

We have a very special set ahead, so without any further introduction, I present to you the artist's words for the episode: 
"Embark on a musical voyage with our latest mixtape. The journey begins with our newest track, 'Slow Delirium.' Setting a dark ambiance, it invites the listener to delve into the depths of this sonic exploration. During our live performances, we have mesmerized crowds with our 'slow edits.' We fondly refer to it as Slow-Techno. We hope you enjoy experiencing this mixtape as much as we did crafting it." 

Join us in giving a warm Tarab welcome to Catatonique and let’s enjoy this sonic musical journey together. 🙌🎵🔥

“Viento” is a downtempo track that strikes a unique balance between relaxation and energy. With a tempo of around 110 BPM, the piece flows with a hypnotic cadence, evoking the lightness and constant movement of the air. Through its immersive sonic textures and carefully crafted instrumentation, the song seems to summon the elemental forces of the wind, transporting the listener to a state of dynamic calm. Perfect for moments of introspection or simply letting go, “Viento” is a sensory experience that connects both the ethereal and the earthly.

"I'm a Mexican enthusiast of the arts, a lover of sound and vibrations. Currently living in the city of Mérida, Yucatán. From a young age influenced by music and the performing arts, it was when I began to be curious about musical creation, but it was until the age of 16 that I began to give seriousness and consistency to production.

Niño Amarillo has the goal of including a "subliminal" message of good vibes and joy with a good rhythm on each of their tracks." - Niño Amarillo
