Erick Del Aguila (dj/producer/musician), creates SELVAGIA to contribute and spread the legacy of Peruvian rhythms and sounds. Selvagia proposes both a psychedelic and a danceable experience, where Peruvian sounds intersect with rhythmic abstractions, to create a unique soundscape.
He lived in Los Angeles for 6 years where he met percussionist Alex Acuña working on a Warner Bros movie. He later joined Acuña to record different percussions, and together with local musicians in Peru, he produced his debut EP “Autohypnosis” in 2019. That same year, he toured Europe playing on Red Light Radio (Amsterdam), Plano B (Porto), and Kiosk Radio (Brussels), among others.
Between 2019 and 2022, Selvagia released tracks on ZZK Records (Arg), Terror Negro (Peru), Folcore Records (Barcelona), Eck Echo Records (Berlin), Random Collective Records (Costa Rica) and Templo Solar (Peru), and soon via Acrylic Label (LA) and Kebrada (Berlin). Additionally, he codirects LA RARA, a collective, musical platform, and Peruvian label, which produces events in cultural spaces in the city of Lima, inviting DJs and live acts from all over the world. In July 2021, they made a special mix as part of the Sonic Liberation Front for Radio Alhara in solidarity for Palestine.
About Susobrino
Born in Bolivia, raised in Belgium, and now deeply intertwined with Latin America’s vibrant rhythms and melodies. With an insatiable passion for percussion and film music that effortlessly navigate between tranquility and fractal intensity, Susobrino is an electronic music artist who harmoniously fuses a multitude of instruments to create his world. In February 2023, he embarked on a captivating music tour throughout Latin America, leaving a mark in Argentina, Ecuador, Colombia, and Mexico. A transformative journey with both live performances and studio sessions. Every step of the tour was an opportunity for Susobrino to forge deep connections with the local communities, immersing himself in their culture and nurture emotional and professional bonds, planting seeds that would continue to grow long after the tour’s conclusion.
The artist name “Susobrino” encapsulates the essence of this musical odyssey. Derived from the Spanish language, where “sobrino” means “nephew,” it symbolizes the artist’s role as a warm family member, inheriting the traditions and stories of the Latin American experience as a whole. With each performance, Susobrino pays homage to the intricate complexity of rhythms found throughout the region, transcending geographical boundaries to represent Latin America as a whole.
As he continues to evolve as an artist, his music remains a testament to the transformative power of cultural exchange and the ability of melodies to bridge diverse worlds. Inspired by his roots, his compositions carry the essence of those vibrant lands, capturing the essence of each encounter and weaving them into his sonic tapestry.
