Mixtape #186

03 August 2026


Rising out of Bogotá’s vibrant experimental scene, Rizomagic are one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary Colombian music. Formed by Edgar Marún and Diego Manrique in 2020, the pair weave Colombian musical traditions with dub, downtempo electronics, psychedelic experimentation and immersive sound design, creating what they fittingly describe as "Psychotropicolombian Futurism." Their superb latest album, Cumbión Planetario, is their most expansive and fully realized work yet, taking the hypnotic pulse of cumbia into wonderfully cosmic territory. So we're delighted to share the wonderful mixtape they put together for us, featuring a handpicked selection of tracks that offers a glimpse into the diverse sounds and inspirations surrounding their unique musical universe. Press play and enjoy.

Hailing from Buenos Aires, Argentina, and now based in between Switzerland, Barcelona and Buenos Aires, Violeta García is an extremely talented cellist, composer, improviser and curator. Having first studied classical and popular music on the cello, before delving into contemporary composition and improvisation, she has more recently developed a heavy interest in open sound spaces. Working across many contexts and art forms, including improvisation, music composition, dance, film and visual art, she has collaborated with dozens of contemporary artists and musicians from different genres and has performed at numerous festivals and venues around the world, as a soloist, a collaborator and a member of experimental rock project Blanco Teta. With García's third solo album, IN / OUT, a beautifully haunting, gloomy and emotive record, arriving this week, we could not be more excited to have her put together this enthralling mix journeying through the influences at play in her own music, including a couple of gems from herself.
