Our NVA x Eastern Bloc event Noche en blanco: Latinx (Re)mix celebrated the many facets of diasporic latinx creative identities while including a series of media installations and high-level musical performances.

Listen to the various live and DJ sets of the night and hear the different takes on latinx music: from live-coded sonic landscapes, to latin trap, to rave-inspired grooves and relentless techno.

Artists featured:

DEBIT from NAAFI

As a producer, DJ, and international radio host, DEBIT has been called “an impeccable talent” (i-D). She has co-hosted Oraculo with Riobamba at The Lot radio for over a year. DEBIT has done radio and performance with diverse bands throughout North and South America since 2010 and has DJed with NAAFI, Ghetto Gothik, MIXPAK, ARCA, Jubilee, Nick Hook & many other defining artists of our time.

She’s been an influential force in the Mexican experimental, electronic and club scene since 2012. Since relocating to New York in 2015, she has become an activate figure in the latino diasporas musical aesthetics and circuits.

Ranging from dance to ambient music and with a clear deconstructive approach, she works with blends of Latino and club beats, dramatic accents, baroque synths and polymorphous textures. She believes in a self sustaining sonic message without resorting to obvious tricks and effects. She participated in RBMA Bass Camp at Bonnaroo 2017. In February 2018, she released an acclaimed LP entitled ‘Animus’ on the NAAFI label, which FACT magazine deemed to be one of the best releases of early 2018.
