Even on the world stage, Bogotá is never far away.


“My mission now is to challenge that industry — to question why things are done the way they are, and to highlight how colonial thinking still influences what’s considered ‘right’ or ‘cool,’ even in a space that claims to be ‘free.’”


“When I play my tracks abroad, it feels like I’m back home — in my neighborhood, with my friends and family. It’s a beautiful feeling. I don’t see it as a responsibility, but as a deep sense of pride. I’m proud to represent my city and its sounds, even when I don’t say it out loud — it’s always there in the music.”


In an industry that often rewards the safe and the sterile, PETERBLUE is charting a radically different course: one of joy, identity, and defiance. And he’s bringing a whole new generation along for the ride. He is not sim- ply making tracks; he’s carving out a space — for his roots, his people, and a new electronic language that doesn’t ask for validation. In a world where trends flatten culture, his work reminds us that rhythm can be resistance, that sound can reclaim stolen stories.


In his own words: “My number one rule is to enjoy what I do. If I’m having fun, the rest will follow.”


And when PETERBLUE is having fun, the dan- cefloor becomes a revolution.


MY THOUGHTS:


The idea that PETERBLUE’s independence is “not just a logistical choice but a philosophical one” is spot on. His autonomy in managing every aspect of his career — from visual design to marketing — reflects a deep commitment to artistic freedom and authenticity.


This philosophy is not just about avoiding the constraints of the industry but about using that independence as a way to challenge norms and push boundaries. His statement about questioning colonial thinking in the industry is particularly striking, reminding us that even within spaces that claim to be “free,” there are often underlying structures that marginalize certain voices and cultures. His


independence becomes an act of


resistance, a way to assert ownership over his narrative.

His distinction between evolving with the audience rather than the industry speaks to a much deeper connection with his listeners. It’s not about chasing trends or fitting into predefined genres; it’s about fostering a shared experience with the people who resonate with his work. This creates a sense of authenticity that’s often lost when artists are swayed by the pressures of the mainstream.


PA$TI Records, as an extension of PE- TERBLUE’s vision, feels like a natural outgrowth of his values. The label isn’t just about music but about creating a space for emerging artists


to express their unique


sounds without the limitations often imposed by traditional channels. The idea of curating based on fun, energy, and emotion rather than genre is refreshing, and it speaks to a larger movement within music to embrace diversity and creative freedom.


The connection to Bogotá is also powerful. The way PETERBLUE speaks about his city shows how deeply his roots influence his work. Bogotá is not just a place of origin for him; it’s an integral part of his identity as an artist. Even when performing internationally, the city’s influence remains a part of his music, a reminder that no matter how far he goes, he is always carrying a piece of Bogotá with him. Our interview paints a picture of an artist who is committed to carving out his own path, who is deeply connected to his roots, and who is determined to change the narrative around what it means to be an artist in today’s industry. PETERBLUE is not just making music; he’s creating a movement — one that values joy, freedom, and cultural authenticity. When he’s having fun, as he says, the entire dancefloor follows, and that fun transforms into something powerful — a revolution in sound and spirit.
