O.T.R.O. Discos proudly announces the release of ‘Emperatriz,’ a highly anticipated debut from rising Colombian producer Anaquia. This four-track release makes a bold statement as Anaquia’s debut on the label, showcasing his forward-thinking sonic charisma and unique style which blends latin grooves and electronic sounds.
‘Emperatriz’ is inspired by futuristic visions of Bogotá, a city where chaotic yet mesmerizing elements blend seamlessly into electronic sounds, dembow rhythms, and reggaeton-inspired melodies. The EP takes listeners on a journey through a dystopian soundscape that mirrors the vibrant energy of Colombia’s capital.
The title track, ‘Emperatriz,’ sets the tone with its colossal, wonky bassline and robotic auto-tuned vocals, capturing the feeling of wandering through the underbelly of Bogotá in search of the city's "Emperatriz" – the empress of this dystopian world. ‘Beso de Medianoche’ follows, riding the momentum with old-school dembow rhythms and energetic cowbells, invoking the pulsating nightlife of the city.
On ‘Desatado,’ Anaquia ramps up the intensity with a drone-driven drum 'n' bass experience, layering stimulating textures that convey the rush of a high-speed chase on a Bogotá highway. The EP closes with ‘Bailame,’ a trance-house banger that evokes the peak energy of a nighttime pool party in Melgar or other nearby summer towns, wrapping up the journey on a high note.
Anaquia’s ‘Emperatriz’ is more than just an EP – it's a sonic exploration of Bogotá's future, where electronic music meets urban rhythms. ‘Emperatriz’ will be available on all major streaming platforms on November 1st 2024. Get ready to experience this captivating new sound.
