Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
I'm an electronic musician from Colombia, in a search for a correct sound (music) that represents the dystopian, wonderful and full of contradictions that is the life here. I think the current music, specially the electronic musicians right now that represents Latin America, are giving the wrong and a stereotype musical image to the rest of the world. If I'm talking about Colombia, I want to make sure the people listens my message that this place is not a dreamy, spiritual ghetto for hipsters or hippies to come and get in touch with an old indian/native knowledge. This lands are a disaster, more full of hate, a corrupt moral frenzy with joy and party music in the bloody background.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
Absolutely. I began listening old house records back in the middle 90s. Over the years I've been listening from metal to jazz, classical to salsa. But right now as my main goal is find my own voice, I'm trying to keep my influences at edge.
What´s new right now?
Yes, I'm planning to start working on a new EP this winter and release it in January, then contact labels interested to release my work.
