As his new single, ‘La Cabeza’, featuring Mera De La Rosa drops on Lumière Noire, DMCWorld goes Trainspotting with Theus Mago.
Christian Nielsen – All Night Long – Pets
Killer track by Christian Nielsen on one of my favourite labels, Pets by Catz n’ Dogz. People constantly ask for an ID when they listen to this one. It blows up the floor every time.
MZA – Boobies – Hot Meal Records
I’ve been enjoying this new trend of trancey techno with hip-hop vocals and nasty lyrics. It’s so fun to play, and if the crowd is right, it can really turn the place upside down.
Theus Mago – Taco House Galáctico ft. JNGLEJ – Lumière Noire
JNGLEJ came to my studio one day, hoping to get a collab on a couple of her songs. We ended up toying with some beats I had, and these humoristic lyrics about Tacos and Techno came out of nowhere. I love them.
Whitesquare – Outer Planets – Visual Distortions
Whitesquare has been a recurring name in my sets since I first discovered his music back in 2018 or so. He’s got an amazing talent for blending sticky hooks with indie dance beats, striking the perfect balance before getting cheesy.
Von Party – Baterias (Mytron Remix) – Multi Culti
This is how I musically met Mera de La Rosa and my mind just flipped with her vocals. The lyrics are made in a twisted Spanish that had an instant appeal to me, they’re so weird. After playing this remix by Mytron a few times, I decided to contact her for a feature on one of my new songs, ‘La Cabeza’.
Theus Mago – X-Control – Correspondant
One of my first experiments processing my voice with AI, really proud of it. Some people have thought that I used a sample from a New York Puerto Rican singer or something, but no, it’s just me.
dub.format – Feelings – Maccabi
I like what Maccabi is currently doing. They managed to find a balance between catchy without being corny or too commercial, between tech-house and indie dance. Been playing a few things from them, and this one is definitely one of my favourites.
Esin – Vendetta (Theus Mago Remix) – Duro
Gotta say this was an easy one to remix. Sometimes you just have to remove a few elements and bang, a new song comes alive. Works fantastically on the dance floor.
Martin Noise – Mucho Manglar – Duro
Recently released on my own imprint, Duro, this one was a late delivery by Martin Noise. He sent it to me the same day I was about to master the rest of the EP and I thank the universe he did because it’s my favourite one from the whole ‘Con M’ EP.
Theus Mago – La Cabeza ft. Mera de La Rosa – Lumière Noire
The title track for my latest EP on Lumière Noire is a collab with Mera de La Rosa, from República Dominicana. Raw, mental techy house for the late-night owls.
Theus Mago featuring Mera De La Rosa – La Cabeza is out now on Lumière Noire.
