CHANCHA VIA CIRCUITO
Chancha via Circuito aka Pedro Canale is a symbol of sonic unity across South America. During his sets, the stage becomes a custom-made experience to deploy his massive array of downtempo, cumbia-style minimalism and Latin American beats. He is regarded as a cult artist for the most avant-garde electronic music circles, and his iconic status has led to festival appearances at Mutek Montreal, Roskilde (Denmark), Sonar (Spain), Calvi on the Rocks (France) and Vive Latino (México). He has also won praise from the likes of Pitchfork, NPR, BBC, KEXP, Radio3, Earmilk, MTV Iggy, Vice, and The Fader.
Whilst his sound has evolved through his four albums Rio Arriba (2012, ZZK), Amansara (2014, Crammed), Bienaventuranza (2018, Wonderwheel Recordings) and the latest La Estrella (2022, Wonderwheel), he moves between lush instrumental soundscapes, and upbeat vocal pieces, all linked by Pedro's signature production style incorporating touches of Andean instrumentation, pairing highly danceable and digestible electronic beats with sounds rooted in South American folklore.
XAMAN X (live)
Combining live electronics with traditional Latin American instrumentation and outstanding percussion, Xaman X ride the thin line between old and new, grounded and psychedelic, spiritual and kitsch. Their improvised sets are ritualistic music for a post-modern era.
