Rebolledo hails from Xalapa in Mexico, records together with Cologne’s Superpitcher as Pachanga Boys and is one of Matias Aguayo’s wunderkinds on the amazing Comeme imprint. Working on an individual take on house and techno or electronic disco music for the lack of a better term, Rebolledo sounds like no one else. Really! Whatever his influences may be (he cites Giorgio Moroder, Daft Punk and Green Velvet), he does a very good job in turning them into something completely new.

Hailing from Monterrey, Mexico, Daniel Maloso is right at the core of the new breed of young producers from Latin America. Endorsed by Cómeme’s Matias Aguayo, Dan Da Man has brought his psychedelic disco sounds to clubs all over Europe and released sureshots such as ‘Ritmo Especial’ or ‘Hijos De Jose’ (which were both included in Bleep/Warp’s top tracks of 2010/2011).

Sao Paolo natives Bixiga 70 will bring their genre-spanning mix of afrobeat, guinean malinké, brazilian candomblé, samba and cumbia to the party, accompanied by Academy alumni Gabriel Nascimbini, Bruno Morais and Mauricio Fleury. Taking Fela Kuti’s ‘Afrika 70’ band as a launchpad both in name and spirit, this ten piece band and their fusion of african and south american rhythms will cause havoc in the dance.
