If one record label were to be elected for reflecting the current zeitgeist, TraTraTrax would be high up on our shortlist. The members of this Colombia-based collective, however, simply describe themselves as “sonic hustlers programming records that range from atmospheric sounds for the mind to breaks, tribal and dembow for the arses”. In the past year, TTT released ‘no pare, sigue sigue’ [don’t stop, keep going], a compilation of global club music including tracks by three rising stars who’ll represent the label at our festival: Bitter Babe, Nick Léon and Verraco. Much more than a label showcase, this B2B2B is set to be a blistering celebration of the way Latin artists are presently pushing electronic music forward – from ecstatic reggaeton to deconstructed trance and all things in between.
