DJ Hermano x Ultima Esuna

As a vinyl selector and collector, his passion for music has taken him across most of the continent, playing on the line-ups of major festivals, parties & clubs in the region and around the world. His vast musical collection and passion focus on Disco, but his mixing style cannot be reduced to a single genre. Still influenced by his Brazilian roots, he incorporates editions from the 80s and 90s, as well as contemporary electronic music. His party project offers both a visual and sonic experience, showcasing a diversity of electronic sounds in unconventional venues. The party was born out of a desire to create a dialogue within the queer community and encourage the exchange of experiences in safe spaces. The artist continually explores individual emancipation, self-expression, and authenticity.

Ultima Esuna’s world is a fusion of lush, dreamy productions spanning across dembow, steady drums, alluring percussion, Latin elements, and smooth house sounds. Drawing inspiration from her Latin American heritage, her music seamlessly blends traditional danzón, folklore, and reggaeton. Ultima has already released on her Bandcamp page by December 2020, and she made her debut on the Nervous Horizon Vol. 4 compilation. Furthermore, her song ​“7 salidas” was premiered on Mixmag, cementing her status as an up-and-coming artist to watch in the music industry. Recently, Ultima collaborated with Vancouver-based band New Age Doom, along with Eli Irreal Veintiuno, to produce a remix for ​“Life is an Experiment.” This track is featured on the album ​“Lee Scratch” Perry’s Guide to the Universe,” a project created by New Age Doom in collaboration with the legendary Lee Scratch Perry. Moreover, Ultima is currently involved in an eight-song project that features reworked versions of tracks from the original Magnum Dopus by SPRLUA, featuring SAMITO and Haig V. Her contribution to this project is unique and refreshing, while still maintaining a sense of familiarity.
