The blend of professional projects with such signifi- cant personal milestones, like the arrival of his first child, creates a genuine emotional connection, making his vision and work feel even more intimate and real.
INDEPENDENCE VS. WORKING WITH MAJOR LABELS
“The decision between working with major labels or maintaining independence within Overtones comes down to a strategy of balance. Large record labels offer visibility and validation—essential elements at certain points in a career. However, Overtones represents my creative vision materialized. This balance allows me to leverage the best of both worlds: the global reach of major labels and the authenticity of carving my path.”
That idea of not having to choose one or the other but instead integrating both elements seems like a matu- re and strategic way to navigate the challenges of the music industry. It’s an approach that allows him to stay true to his creative vision while expanding and rea- ching new audiences.
2025 will be a year of reinvention—something cru- cial in electronic music because everything evolves so quickly. But what I appreciate is that it’s not just about following trends; it’s about exploring new forms of ex- pression while staying true to what defines him as an artist.
GUERRA
“Sound evolution is a constant, and 2025 will be a year of reinvention. Electronic music changes rapidly, and as an artist, my goal is to explore new forms of expression without losing the essence that defines my identity. This year represents a sonic exploration that not only fits into the current scene but also opens new artistic possibilities.”
That’s what truly keeps his music fresh—he doesn’t settle for what’s trending but is always seeking new ways to innovate.
THE INFLUENCE OF LATIN ELECTRO- NIC MUSIC
I love that social commitment is also a core part of the label’s vision, especially with the work they are doing in Caracas. It’s inspiring to see that despite its growth and expansion, Overtones remains focused on making a positive impact beyond the stage and beyond sound.
“2025 will be marked by innovation and groundbrea- king projects. Collaborations with artists like Francisco Allendes, Malone, and Andruss will be a turning point in my career. Additionally, on a personal level, this year will be especially meaningful with the arrival of my first child—an experience that brings a new perspective and energy to my creative process. Music remains the cen- tral axis of my life, and every project reflects this new stage.”
The influence of Latin electronic music on the glo- bal scene has gained significant momentum in recent years, and Tony Guerra recognizes this brilliantly. For a long time, Latin music was mostly associated with a re- gional context, largely confined to Latin America and, to a lesser extent, Latino communities in other parts of the world. However, the growing incorporation of these rhythms, sounds, and techniques into electronic music has led to a unique fusion that transcends borders. Ar- tists and producers from around the world have adop- ted elements of Latin music—from its vibrant rhythms to its signature melodies and vocals—bringing them to life in the electronic space.
“The influence of Latin electronic music on global dan- ce floors is undeniable. It has evolved from a regional phenomenon into a fundamental element of contem- porary electronic music. DJs and producers from di- verse backgrounds have integrated these elements into their sets and productions, reflecting the richness of our culture. In every performance, I carry this identi- ty with me, blending the passion and rhythm of Latin music with the energy of global electronic sounds. At the end of the day, music is a universal language, and Overtones is its translator.”
