Nicola’s self-described “Andes step” sound invokes the landscapes and rituals of his homeland, from the Andes mountains to the Amazon jungle. His music is an exploration of ancient mythologies and folkloric traditions in a digital setting. Sounds dreamy, ey? Trust me, it is. *swoon*
In 2015 Cruz released his debut EP, ‘Prender el Alma,’ on ZZK Records. He explains that he created the original sounds “inspired by electronic music techniques and local Andean music and culture.” He followed that up with the remixed version of the EP featuring 12 artists, among them Chancha Via Circuito, EVHA and History of Colour.

All About Cruz:
Nicola Cruz is an electronic producer, musician and DJ. Born in France to proud South American descent, he currently lives and works in Quito, Ecuador, in the heart of the Andes mountains. بوكر حقيقي على النت
Nicola started his career as a percussionist, thanks to which he developed an early interest in electronic music. His work draws from a broad variety of sources, in particular a deep passion for the Andean landscapes, their cultures, rituals and rhythms. موقع 1xbet Because of this, his music radiates an intimate understanding of nature, from the organic exuberance of his sound to the soft cadence of his songs. In this mix a delicate balance between forces always prevails: his music is deeply rhythmic without losing the melody, and even though it is formed in collaboration with artists from different times and spaces, it remains personal and intimate.
From this musical connection between past and present, traditional and modern, an ongoing South American movement has arisen, exploring local indigenous and afro cosmologies through a carefully crafted analogue sound.
Since the release of his debut EP in October 2015, Cruz has been crisscrossing the globe, touring relentlessly. His music has been frequently featured on KCRW, KEXP and FIP. ‘Prender El Alma Remixed’ came out just days before his debut set at Sonar Festival in Barcelona and ahead of his forthcoming North American tour.
