Terror/Cactus departs from their modern electronic sound to bring us a vintage psychedelic cumbia with fully live instrumentation. In "Encuentro Surrealista", Selasco’s signature guitar melodies are colorful and mysterious, with a touch of surf rock, while the percussion section holds down a steady organic cumbia rhythm.

Composed, Performed, and Produced by Terror/Cactus.

Mixed and Mastered by Erik Luebs.
Original Photography by Jake Hanson.

A nostalgic and cinematic milonga filled with acoustic guitars and absract synthesizers - a sci-fi journey through a dusty South American landscape.

Drawing inspiration from nature, the song “Leafhopper” began with an audio sample of the insect whose name inspired the title. Through experimentation and improvisation, the track evolved to incorporate tropical rhythms, jazzy influences, and a strong melodic theme brought to life by Detroit saxophonist, Jake Shadik.

In celebration of the five-year anniversary of Corriente EP, Terror/Cactus breathes new life into the song "Tambor del Monte" with a captivating remix by Miami-based Venezuelan producer, Venezonix. This single marks the beginning of a special series of remixes revisiting the tracks from the Corriente EP.

Originally released in 2019, "Tambor del Monte" captivated listeners with its mysterious, cinematic soundscape with rhythms rooted in Colombian percussion and infused with psychedelic electric guitar inspired by Peruvian chicha. Featured on Spotify’s Electrica Selvática editorial playlist and in Tiger King Season 2, the track became a signature piece for Terror/Cactus, bolstered by a memorable KEXP in-studio performance.

Now, Venezonix reimagines the track with a fresh, dancefloor-oriented energy. Layering Afro-Venezuelan rhythms with psychedelic synthesizers, the remix maintains the downtempo vibe of the original while adding dynamic new textures and energy. This collaboration stems from a connection forged through fellow artist Pahua and a shared live performance in Miami at Zey Zey, cementing a creative exchange between the two artists.

Perfect for dancefloor enthusiasts and late-night psychedelic explorers, "Tambor del Monte (Venezonix Remix)" offers a vibrant addition to the Terror/Cactus discography, bridging cultures and styles.

Barzo flips Terror/Cactus' deep, hypnotic cumbia into a high-energy club weapon. Layering syncopated drum grooves, pulsating basslines, and electrifying synth textures, this remix bridges traditional Latin rhythms with forward-thinking electronic production.

Seattle-based producer Terror/Cactus is known for blending folkloric rhythms from Latin America with deep, atmospheric electronic production. His music draws listeners into textured sonic worlds rooted in ancestry and innovation. On his 2024 album Forastero (Shika Shika), Terror/Cactus collaborated with Pahua, a rising voice in Latin alternative known for her genre-blurring blend of cumbia, electro-pop, and emotionally-rich feminine energy. 

The two artists joined forces on “Donde Estás Tú,” a track that channels longing and mysticism through layered percussion and ethereal vocals. Now, the song is reimagined by Chong the Nomad, an electronic producer celebrated for her playful and hyper-detailed beatwork. Her remix warps the original into something darker and more elastic—infusing it with glitchy textures, swelling bass, and unpredictable movement.
