Latin Experimental Electronic Music isn’t a genre—it’s a pulse. Born in basements, raves, and borderlands, it’s a sound that refuses to be boxed in. Fueled by tradition and tech, it blends ancestral rhythms with futuristic textures, and it’s rewriting the rules of global dance floors. At the heart of it are artists like 2DEEP, Sinego, Bianca Oblivion, and Nick León—each building their own sonic language and amplifying a cultural memory. Together, they’re reshaping the very foundation of electronic music.
1For Ecuadorian-Colombian DJ and producer 2DEEP, genre-breaking sound was born from cultural chaos. “Growing up in the Bronx, I was constantly surrounded by diverse cultures,” he told CREMA. Raised on bootleg CDs in Ecuador and now rooted in LA’s underground rave scene, his music is a collision of reggaeton, EDM, guaracha, and urban Latin beats. He credits LA for his growth: “It’s where everything really started to click. I’ve met so many incredible artists, producers, and creatives who have added something new to my sound.” His party series Reggaetonlandia is a physical manifestation of this sonic world. “We bring together people from all walks of life… It’s not just a party; it’s an experience,” he said. That same ethos drives his high-profile collaborations with artists like Steve Aoki and Natanael Cano. Their track “NATAOKI” is, as 2DEEP described it, “probably the first ‘electro corrido’ before it even became a subgenre.” For 2DEEP, the most exciting part of the Latin Experimental Electronic Music scene is its scale. “This moment truly feels like it’s our time,” he said. “We’re pushing boundaries like never before. From here, there’s no limit to what we can do.”
2Colombian-Mexican artist Sinego is as likely to reference anthropology as he is to cite a club track. His approach to Latin Experimental Electronic Music is meticulous: “My music takes an almost anthropological approach to Latin folk,” he told CREMA. His debut album Alterego is a sonic map of Latin America, blending regional folk with deep house and organic electronica. The result is music that doesn’t just sample culture—it preserves it. “I strive for honesty in my productions, ensuring that the emotions conveyed in the original folk compositions remain intact,” he said. Through collaborations with artists like Cucu Diamantes and Lucy Vives, Alterego becomes a multilingual, multi-country statement of purpose. Sinego also sees the global industry shifting. “We’re moving beyond remixing pop hits and into an era where underground and folk music are being reinterpreted through electronic production,” he said. This shift is creating space for genres like cumbia villera and Andean folk to live in the same BPMs as techno and drum & bass.
3Bianca Oblivion grew up surfing Venice Beach and DJing underground LA warehouse parties. Her music mirrors that duality: Mexican roots, G-funk nostalgia, punk rebellion, and rave-era euphoria. Her philosophy? “Anything goes as long as it bangs.” Bianca told CREMA that the multicultural chaos of LA shaped her ears. “These subcultures weren’t separate; they blended seamlessly,” she said. That mindset is in her productions, where you might hear dem bow meet grime, or baile funk drop into cumbia. For her, Latin Experimental Electronic Music is bigger than BPMs. “It’s about an energy, a vibrance, and a cultural fusion,” she said. The underground community has played a huge role in expanding that vision. “Since it’s not confined to one region or a single sound, you see collectives and labels emerging on platforms like SoundCloud and Bandcamp, while parties gain traction on Instagram and TikTok.” Bianca also warns against the industry’s late-stage co-signs. “The music industry will always try to capitalize on the ‘next big thing,'” she said. Her hope? That it doesn’t abandon Latin sounds when the trend dies down.
4Across every beat, synth, and sample, a clear message comes through: Latin Experimental Electronic Music isn’t waiting for permission. It’s rewriting the script in real time—unfiltered, deeply rooted, and globally resonant. According to SoundCloud, monthly plays for remix artists in this space have more than doubled since 2021—a sign that the scene isn’t just growing, it’s exploding. Their new docu-series SCENES taps into this momentum, spotlighting the artists pushing Latin electronic into its boldest form yet. From Sinego’s genre-traveling collaborations to 2DEEP’s rave-born reggaeton fusions, to Bianca Oblivion’s Venice Beach hybridity, these artists are dismantling genre boundaries and cultural assumptions alike. Their music doesn’t ask to be defined—it dares you to keep up.
