ABOUT THIS ARTIST

While filming documentaries in remote regions of his native Colombia, where afro communities settled centuries ago, Juan Manuel Vásquez heard the mysterious sounds of Humpback whales that migrated through the pacific coast. His sudden connection with this creature (named Mysticeti by marine scientists) sparked a musical exploration blending organic and electronic elements. This marked the beginning of his first solo-project: Misticeti

Misticeti creates a fresh take on electronic music that merges analogue basslines, folk percussion, tints of latin american surf rock and psychedelic atmospheres. Two forces come together in his music: one which pulls towards the dancefloor and the other to introspection. Gathering inspiration from some of his favorite artists from the UK, like Radiohead, Boards of Canada, Bonobo and Four Tet, he adds his Latin American spirit to this mix. The result is an uncanny sound that is left field, mystical and groovy.

Combining his passion for music and filmmaking, he earned years of experience producing and scoring commercials for international brands. Now, in his endeavor as an artist, Misticeti applies his storytelling sensibility to create an authentic sound. Like the whale, he dives in the depths of the ocean and comes to the surface to share his truth. A truth about balance between the playful and the mystical.
