About Afrundo
This release in single format is composed of 2 tracks for the dancefloor that experiment with different approaches to the kick and snare of the dembow pattern, threading them with other rhythms, spaces, tempos and imaginaries of global electronica. Includes a bonus track for Bandcamp + Soundcloud
Afrundo emerges from a personal sonic imaginary, composed of techno, melancholy and memories of a primitive future to dance in the dawn. This track was assembled entirely in a DAW, sampling some vinyls, exploring vsts and manipulating libraries.
Lebandiki is a more energetic and accelerated track, part techno, part dembow and loaded with a certain cyberpunk atmosphere. This track took shape between motors, protests and tensioning dark bass flows.
Meikyu is a reggaeton track with a wink to pop and another to drum and bass and break beat. In this track I sample the acapella of 2 pop electronic hits that many will recognize -including some guardians of the right of the big companies to be the lords of profits-.
About Emiliano Dietzgen
Mexican DJ and producer, member of Chakanais (CHKNS), an inter-in-disciplinary and multi-dis-functional collective from Mexico City dedicated to produce events and audiovisual materials around music and dance as events. These include the production of parties, the self-publication of a fanzine and the production of radio shows on different platforms.
In his productions and dj sets Dietzgen bets on deep beats and heavy bass as a means to conjure an intense and hypnotic dancefloor. His productions have appeared on labels such as Folcore Records, NOFUTURE, HTS and Cassette Blog. His DJ sets, always energetic and diverse, move between diverse worldly drums, deep bass lines and atmospheres that affirm the enjoyment of the free dance. His sets are clearly influenced by hardrum, kuduro, tarraxo, baile funk, dembow, reggaeton, techno and new underground sounds and rhythms from Latin America and the peripheries of the world. Dietzgen has played on various stages in Mexico City and this year participated as a dj and radio host at Documenta fifteen, in Kassel, Germany, as well as at some gigs in Berlin. He is currently preparing new releases in the realm of the 130 bpm, and some collabs.
