Misticeti

This is the official YouTube channel of Misticeti, the electronic music project created by Colombian producer Juan Manuel Vasquez.

My story:

While producing documentaries in remote regions of Colombia, I heard the mysterious songs of Humpback whales that migrated through the Pacific ocean. My sudden connection with this creature (named Mysticeti in the scientific world) sparked an exploration of natural soundscapes with electronic music. This marked the beginning of my first solo-project: Misticeti.

I combine groovy analogue basslines, tints of Latin American surf rock, and psychedelic electronic atmospheres to convey mysticism and play. Two forces merge in my music: one which pulls towards the dancefloor and the other to introspection. Gathering inspiration from some of my favorite artists from the UK, like Radiohead, Boards of Canada, Bonobo, and Four Tet, I add my Latin American spirit to this mix. The result is an uncanny sound that is left-field, fun, and accessible.
