Uji

Uji is an artist, electronic music producer, ethnomusicologist and ‘timebeing’ from Buenos Aires, Argentina whose trance-inducing creations fuse ancestral and natural soundscapes with the design and aesthetics of our modern times.

Uji's most recent work, TIMEBEING, explores the creation of new myths and symbolism in a multi-platform concept album (ZZK Records), an 8-part short film (dir. Jazmin Calcarami), along with different experiences, driven by the need to embrace ritual technology to deepen connection in the physical, virtual and spiritual realms. His powerful and energetic live performances have taken him on extensive tours around Europe, the US, Asia and Latin America playing prestigious festivals such as ADE in Amsterdam and Mutek Montreal to play alongside top electronic artists such as Sabo, Satori, Mira, Nu, and Hot Since 92. Uji has also released collaborations with artists from all over the world such as Carlos Vives, Nicola Cruz, Petrona Martinez, La Chica, Philippe Cohen Solal and El Buho to name a few. His releases include Alborada (ZZK 2018), Marimbas del Guapi EP (2020), Ser Tiempo Documentary (2020). Previously, Uji spent 17 years digging into his South American traditions and the last 22 years exploring electronic music, most notably as half of electronic folk pioneering duo Lulacruza (2005-2016)
