An audiovisual night of Latin American and global experimental electronic dance music.

>> DJ NOMBRE APELLIDO
Moises Horta is a visual artist and producer from Tijuana based in Mexico City. He is part of the futuristic Mexican band “Los Macuanos” who created “Ruidoson” a hybrid genre of traditional Mexican regional music that defined a generation of artists in the north of the country. Los Macuanos developed their musical sound during the transitional period of change of presidency between Felipe Calderon and Enrique Peña Nieto - The beginning of one of Mexico’s most brutal periods - Their music is heavily influenced by politics, narco-violence, corruption and urban decay. Los Macuanos are scheduled to release new material on December 2015.
DJ Nombre Apellido ( DJ Name Last name) is a satire on DJ acts that use their name and last name as their artist name as well as a criticism on the state of electronic dance music. “I feel that the EDM category conspicuously took out any sort of need for experimentation within a very ample genre of music, at least commercially, and pretty much set various formulas for producing it (i.e. “the drop”).” DJ Nombre Apellido arises from a need to go “back to basics” and takes root in early examples of electronic dance music, ranging from early Chicago house and Detroit techno experiments to more contemporary club music deconstructions. Moises also experiments with visual arts. “I’m from a generation immersed in video games and the Internet. Having been raised looking at a screen a great part of my life made me have a keen sense for graphic design, RGB colors and the kind of visual experiments that emerged from the now (infamously) dubbed “post-Internet” aesthetic. With DJ Nombre Apellido I keep the visuals to match the environment in which I produce music, that is, stuff made with a prosumer laptop and tablet using apps that only do one thing, such as glitch a picture, making it reminiscent of dadaist readymades.

>> SPF666
Zack offers a peculiar way of decontextualizing music of different genres presenting percussive interpretations of UK grime, ballroom, dembow, techno, jungle and jersey club. His music encompasses a very global and hybrid perspective of the dance floor.

>> 2TABS
2TABS is the new music project of Coast2c and Michael Bruce. They have been throwing parties and DJing as individuals for Gran Ritmos for over a year and now they are starting to work on conceptualizing their sound as 2TABS. While they continue to work on defining that sound, they are kicking things off with their first DJ set together.
