Chancha Via Circuito
Hey friends! It's an honour for us to present one of the pioneers of the Latin American electronic sound, Chancha Via Circuito.
For this particular mix, he decided to dive in deep into his record collection to share with us an hour of introspection and slow burners, all filled with his signature Latin American sound.
Since 2005, he's been constantly creating; mixing a lot of unheard sounds from the Andes region, Brazilian and Paraguayan sounds from the Amazonian jungles, with many other Latin American influences, always with his own personal touch of electronic production. With many tours around the globe showcasing his unique sound through Live Sets and DJ Sets, we are awaiting for the pandemic to be over to have him play for us at the beach.
What's the idea behind the mix? And which is the track you wanted to play the most?
The idea behind the mix is to share music that I really like and I find inspiring to dance. The track I wanted to play most is Coconutah - Orinoco rock.
What is a song you love but would never play on a set?
I decided to finish this set with one of that songs that I love but I never play on a party, because it’s not the kind of stuff that usually works on clubs.
What difference can you perceive between playing for latin American crowds to crowds from other parts of the world?
It’s different the reaction when the people is not used to listen Latin stuff. Normally in other countries the crowd is surprised by a set like this one.
Is there any causes or charities you care about deeply? Tell us a bit about that.
I care about people in need and the preservation of nature, but I don’t participate in charities. I only support the NGO La Garganta Poderosa. They do an incredible work in slums in Buenos Aires.
