BCLIP
Influenced by the “picó” (Colombian Soundsystem) and raised in the ghetto of Soledad Atlántico, Bclip initially emerges as an atypical urban producer dissatisfied with predefined labels and genres. He decides to navigate through a wide spectrum of sounds sheltered under what he calls “LA GRA$A” - challenging the conventional boundaries of electronic music. He explores a broad range of influences ranging from salsa, reggaetón, and coastal folklore to black metal, IDM, and hard house. This exploration results in the production of a vast musical spectrum coherent with his foundations in Latin American crossover. Combined with his acute artistic sensibility, this catapults him into recognition as a member of the timeless vanguard of the Latin American music scene.
As a DJ, Live Performer, Curator, and Artist, he has been part of venues, galleries and projects worldwide such as: NTS, Roskilde Festival, Boiler Room, Montreux Jazz Festival, OHM Berlin, NAAFI, Resident Advisor, Vice, Noisey, ArteTV and more. Currently, his efforts are focused on spreading the vanguard of Latin club music from all angles, through original productions for his own releases or others, DJ sets with timeless musical selections curated from a wide range of sources—everything from 90s CDs to the most contemporary internet finds—and a live format centered on picotero finger drumming.
Bclip embodies the countercultural resonance of the ghetto, flourishing in scarcity, resourcefulness, and empirical talent, all rooted in a profound knowledge and investigation of roots and previous history, coupled with an anti-light sentiment representing the cutting-edge marginal dissent.
