Five Unsung Latin American Artists to Discover At EDC Mexico
Sol Ortega
Even in the saturated world of dance music, Sol Ortega manages to stand out. Born and raised in Argentina, the underground artist is recognized for her intentional techno and house music productions, which incorporate a dub-style influence and a Detroit flair.
The same deliberate, composed energy that shapes her studio work carries into her DJ sets, landing her gigs at respected festivals like Creamfields Argentina and billings on rosters alongside Richie Hawtin, Jeff Mills, Dax J, and Rødhåd. She first built momentum with releases on Rhythm Nation and Unitas Multiplex before reaching a new milestone in 2023, when she dropped a breakout record on FJAAK’s Crowd label.
Rigopolar
Italo disco, indie dance, and cosmic are three terms that capture Rigopolar’s musical style. Hailing from Ensenada, Baja California, the artist moved to Mexico City at 22 years old, where he refined his craft for 13 years before ultimately making his way to Miami. He’s recognized for his use of analog synths, unconventional blends, and minimal productions that propel listeners through the stratosphere.
In 2022, Rigopolar shared his Tour de Infinite record label with the world, giving a home to indie dance, dark disco, and everything in between. With one of his major influences being rock and roll, the dark spaceyness of his sound simply make sense. Reviewing support from notable artists such as Solomun, WhoMadeWho, Maceo Plex, Hernan Cattaneo, and more showcases Rigopolar’s impact on the dancefloor.
Lex Digital
Lex Digital doesn’t play when it comes to hardcore. The Mexican producer, also known as Alejandro Tejeda, channels the raw, digital intensity of hardcore and fuses it with hard techno and its subgenres to craft a sound that’s both punishing and infectious.
With a distinctive style that sets him apart in Mexico’s hard techno scene, Lex Digital has emerged as one of the genre’s most exciting rising forces. In the process, he’s earned residencies at Envy Label, Machine Clvb, and Pandemic Sessions.
Emisopa
Influenced by underground scenes across the world, Emisopa blends rarely heard sounds into sets with the hope of uniting people on the dancefloor. A true multidisciplinary artist, she also draws inspiration from the streets of Mexico City, expressing that perspective through painting and tattooing.
Emisopa’s eclectic sets range from cumbia, jungle, tribal, reggaeton, and house. Each one takes listeners on a lively, multicultural journey that immerses them in a world of rhythm, culture, and movement.
María Nocheydía
By now, it’s no secret that Mexico City houses some very special talent, including artist María Nocheydía. Kickstarting her journey in the scene as a raver, María was influenced by her love for the culture to become a DJ and producer at the age of 17.
Fast forward to 2022, and she was welcomed to play iconic stages such as Mayan Warrior, EDC, Circoloco, and Hï Ibiza. With true devotion to the community, she’s also the founder of the party series and radio show Disco Bacocho. María has expressed that “It’s more than just a series of parties, it’s a movement that nurtures cultural exchange, artistic expression, and authentic community connection through music, food, and multidisciplinary arts.”
