RECLAIMING THE GROOVE: HOW PETERBLUE IS DISRUPTING ELECTRONIC MUSIC WITH LATIN SOUL


Electronic music is always evolving, yet few artists have managed to channel its rebellious spirit quite like PETERBLUE. From Bogotá to Berlin, he’s igniting dance floors with a hybrid sound that defies categorization — hard groove at its core, but infused with the warmth, drama, and rhythmic pulse of Latin club culture. In a scene that often rewards conformity


masked as minimalism,


PETERBLUE’s work insists on color, excess, and emotion. His tracks don’t just make you move — they make you feel.


The project was born out of a period of global stillness. As the pandemic forced the world to pause, Peter turned inward — rediscovering the early


The label has since become a nucleus for emerging voices who, like Peter, understand that experimentation and authenticity are not mutually exclusive. This ethos — de- colonial, high-energy, and unapologetically fun — runs through every release.


As an independent artist, Peter’s journey has never followed a conventional script. He’s released music through respected labels like OBSCURE and Gomboc Records, while also commanding his own space within the scene.


roots of rave music and


reconfiguring his artistic identity around one central truth: electronic music was more than a sound. It was a language, a way to speak back to the world while staying fiercely rooted in his Latin heritage. In that moment, a vision took shape: not just to participate in the club scene, but to transform it.


That vision has been contagious. With


breakout tracks like Bakalao and Fuego, and his 2023 debut EP Bailar Para No Pensar (featuring standout cuts like God Save The Groove and Latin Ecstasy Club), PETERBLUE began to carve out his own lane. His third EP Diskoteka Amerikana became a best-seller on Bandcamp, cementing his global reach. What followed was his first European tour — a whirlwind of genre-defying sets and euphoric receptions, including a much- talked-about performance at HOR Berlin that rippled across social media.


But PETERBLUE isn’t just building a name — he’s building a platform. In 2023, he launched PA$TI Records, a label born out of admiration for peers who were reshaping the rules of the game.


With more than half a million streams across platforms and support from electronic heavyweights like Héctor Oaks, Skin On Skin, and Victoria De Angelis, PETERBLUE stands as one of the most vital, disruptive forces in Latin electronic music today. And with new music slated for release on Hotties and Sesh this spring, the next chapter of his story is already beating its way to the dance floor.


In this exclusive conversation, PETERBLUE opens up about the artistic principles that shape his sound and vision. From the early days of navigating the underground to launching his own label, he speaks candidly about the emotional weight behind his music, the political implications of dancing, and the global influences that pulse through his productions. It’s a dialogue charged with vulnerability and clarity — the kind that reveals not only a producer with bold aesthetics, but a cultural architect with something urgent to say.


The interview also dives into his creative pro- cess, his relationship with club culture, and how Latin identity is both a weapon and a sanctuary in his sonic world. PETERBLUE re- flects on his recent European tour, the mo- mentum behind Diskoteka Amerikana, and what it means to stay true to your roots while evolving on an international stage. Whether you’re a devoted fan or discovering his sound for the first time, this is a deep dive into the mind of an artist pushing boundaries — and refusing to be boxed in.
