Sines

Raised and rooted in South Texas, DJ and producer Sines is an integral part of the evolution of
US-based, Latinx club music’s growth and mutation. Integrating undeniable influences from the
borderlands’ natural cross-hatching of sounds, Sines’ productions and tastemaking are
foundational to his work in launching his MAJÍA record label, as well as his former production duo Santa
Muerte.
Sines’ live sets revel in a hyperactive, dynamic approach to mixing, showcasing his evolution
from influences primarily in the UK electronic scene into specificity from the Latinx diaspora,
spanning reggaetón, dancehall, and kizomba. Keyed in to emerging sounds in the underground,
Sines’ productions are based in knowledge that’s equal parts inspired by Luny Tunes’
groundbreaking sample palette that forms the roots of reggaetón, as much as by the dripping,
cathartic pace Houston’s legendary chopped and screwed pioneer DJ Screw.
Having been involved in the music industry the past 12 years, Sines has past releases on
Brooklyn label Trouble & Bass (2014) before embarking on a collaborative project
called Santa Muerte . Santa Muerte is a testament to Sine’s deep ties with the
guttural sounds of the club underworld, balancing sensual perreo and frenetic grime references.
