The Rise of Noise Mafia: The New Face of Latin American Electronic Music – ARTISTS

Just a few months ago, Noise Mafia was a name known only in the inner circles of electronic music. Today, his career has taken off in an impressive way, and it seems that the future holds even more success for this talented Colombian producer. But what has changed in his life or approach that has led to such a meteoric rise? And more importantly, how has he managed to integrate his Latin roots with the new trends in global techno? Let’s delve into his story.

Noise Mafia is down to earth. For him, there is no magic formula that guarantees overnight success. What really matters is constant work, dedication and knowing how to wait for the right moment.

“It could take ten years or so,” he tells us, referring to the fact that not all artists become famous at the same speed.

The key, he says, is to stay focused and not let the distractions of nightlife affect his career. It’s advice that resonates with him, coming from someone who’s been in the scene for a while.

While Noise Mafia’s success didn’t happen overnight, there was one specific moment that marked a turning point in his career: when Sara Landry played his remix of “Paper Planes” during a Boiler Room set. For him, this wasn’t just a “click” in his career; it was one of the major highlights of Landry’s set and a public recognition of his talent. It put his music in the spotlight and allowed him to reach a much wider audience.

Noise Mafia is proud to represent Colombia and the Latin American community in the global electronic music industry, but he has always tried not to compare himself to other artists.

“In addition to opening doors for Latinx artists, I want to open those doors even wider. I’m sure several artists before me have opened them, and as I’ve said before, the rest of us have to be grateful, and the challenge is to keep our leadership role relevant.”

By focusing on personal growth rather than comparisons with others, he was able to stay true to himself while further developing his career.

As for his music, integrating elements of his Colombian and Latin American cultures is an exciting challenge. It’s something he not only finds necessary, but also a way to pay homage to his roots. Noise Mafia is committed to showcasing the talent of his region without feeling pressured by an implicit “responsibility” just because he’s Latino. Instead, his goal is more personal: to make music that, when heard, people can feel where it comes from.

The local scene in Bogotá has played a fundamental role in the development of his identity as an artist. The city, although small compared to electronic music giants such as Berlin or London, has one of the most vibrant and diverse scenes in Latin America. Noise Mafia draws on this diversity and sees the richness of his surroundings as a constant challenge to create something new and fresh.

“We have one of the richest scenes in the region,” he assures us.

However, Noise Mafia does not refer to the number of parties or events, but to the quality and variety of music produced and consumed in Bogotá. This environment has shaped him as an artist and continues to influence his productions, something that is clearly visible in his tracks.

It’s hard to describe Noise Mafia’s sound, especially since he prefers not to label his music. He describes it as an evolving process, always looking to adapt sounds that might not seem compatible at first, and transform them into something of his own. This mix of fast, exciting and compelling rhythms is what gives his music that specific vibe that sets it apart from other projects in the scene.

Moreover, Noise Mafia is a music lover. His creative process does not necessarily start with a melody or a rhythm, but with the simple inspiration that can come from anywhere: everyday life, art, a conversation.

“I try to feed myself creatively with all kinds of art.”

As for what’s next, Noise Mafia has several releases coming up, including one he’s particularly proud of: one of his tracks will soon be released on Indira Paganotto’s label, Artcore Records. This is a big step for him and a confirmation that he’s on the right path, working with labels he never thought he’d reach.

But his vision doesn’t stop at music. Noise Mafia is also a very visual person and dreams of expanding his art to other disciplines. One of his biggest dreams is to bring his music to the cinema, creating a complete audiovisual experience in his sets.

“It would be a dream to put my sounds on a film,” he confesses.

Finally, when asked about his long-term vision, Noise Mafia remains calm. He doesn’t like to create unnecessary pressure regarding venues or numbers. What matters most to him is his personal project and the musical growth it will bring. He trusts that by focusing on his artistic evolution, everything will fall into place.

Noise Mafia is an artist who is constantly evolving, and if his recent trajectory is any indication of what is to come, we can expect great things from him. With a unique blend of Latin and global influences and a clear vision for his art, he is destined to make a significant mark on the global electronic scene.
