No matter what you call it, the experiments coming out of the continent’s underground club scenes are as forward-thinking and brain-frying as anything made in the bedrooms and studios of Berlin or London. To highlight the breadth of talent in this space, I’ve selected a few releases from new labels leading the charge in the wake of their predecessors. This list is far from comprehensive; instead, it’s an unfinished introduction to a sprawling and ever-expanding underworld of creators from Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, and beyond. One thing’s for sure: All of them share an electrifying affinity for tearing diasporic genres to shreds.

C T M – KILL THE EGO #1
Since 2020, the Ecuadorian netlabel CTM has been quietly releasing EPs and compilations from local and regional artists across Latin America. Their third-anniversary compilation, KILL THE EGO #1, is an ambitious joyride through contorted trance, techno, and funk carioca. Released in the final days of 2023, it includes artists from Mexico, Ecuador, Argentina, and Colombia—but there are international contributions hailing from Italy, Taipei, and Los Angeles too.
Quito-based Entrañas offers one of the album’s highlights; the producer has recently become a buzzy name in the club underground, thanks to a prolific run of collaborations and compilation appearances. “Encanto” goes for immersive club hypnosis, blending the Afro-Andean genre of bomba del chota with spellbinding bass blasts and distorted tambor drums. Elsewhere, Ciudad Juárez’s Conejx—who co-founded the city’s recurring party series Club TQM—lays down a thick cumbia rebajada glaze and layers it with a nocturnal drum march. “Run the Cycle,” from PVSSY, is a summoning designed for reggaeton vampires everywhere: Demonic vocal samples, bestial snarls, and metal guitar riffs are tossed over a filthy dembow riddim, calling all the bloodsuckers to the dancefloor.
MUAKK – XOXO
The Bogotá-based label MUAKK—the onomatopoeic word for the sound of a smooch in Spanish—closed 2023 with this supersized bomb, featuring 43 tracks and remixes from emerging producers across the Latin American diaspora. The label launched in 2022 with the release of their first compilation Besitos Bailables (Danceable Little Kisses). Run by Colombian producers 2AT, Aleroj, and CRRDR, MUAKK releases are engineered for sensory overstimulation. Take CRRDR’s “VEN Y DAME,” a maximalist head rush of blaring sirens, clacking percussion, and demented vocals that reaches up to 190 BPM. Every moment on XOXO lands like a caffeinated anxiety attack: C3NTELL4’s “cyberguaracha on my keygen” collides jungle breaks, guaracha rhythms, and cartoon-voiced gibberish, while WOST’s “TEKETEKE” warps a sample of the Crazy Design and Carlitos Wey dembow classic into rave brilliance. Playfulness is obligatory: The Bandcamp tags include imaginative genre labels like “uwuracha” and “Latin tek.” The description suggests listening to this compilation at baptisms and first communions, but speaking from experience, I advise you only do that if you want a family member to call your music satanic.
Devagar – Dev.A.Gar Vol. 4
Based in Buenos Aires, the Argentine imprint Devagar Discos recently revealed the fourth installment of their eponymous compilation series. Launched in 2018, their early catalog primarily focused on Afro-house, Afro-tech, and Afro-bass. Since 2020, founders DJ Karen and Juan de Borbón have expanded their purview to include experimental, dub, and more dancefloor-oriented offerings. Dev.A.Gar Vol. 4 continues down that path, recruiting Peruvian producers Orieta Chrem and Selvagia; fellow Argentines Jaijiu, Ana Helder, Bakur, Zoras, and ROOi; and other special guests.
