Cenotes

Description

Six years after its release, El Búho's EP Cenotes is being pressed on vinyl for the first time as a 12-inch 45RPM record with a splatter evoking the artwork. Originally released in 2015, Cenotes firmly established El Búho in the upper echelons of the latinelectro pantheon. Recorded in Mexico City after a move from Amsterdam, Cenotes marries his dub, IDM, and electro influences with the rhythms, traditions, and melodies of Latin American and Andean folk music and the organic sounds of waterfalls, bird calls, and rustling leaves, resulting in a melodic, deep, and dreamy journey that penetrates headphones and dancefloors alike. After studying Latin America in Glasgow, El Búho (aka Robin Perkins) lived, studied, and worked in Argentina and traveled across the continent. Alongside his music, El Búho is also an environmental activist, having worked for over eight years for Greenpeace, a member of the DJs For Climate Action collective, and coordinator of the non-profit project A Guide to the Birdsong, a series of albums designed to raise funds and awareness for endangered bird species.
