El Búho was born in the rolling hills of northern England but found his musical home in the forests of Latin America. His music blends together the rhythms, mythologies and melodies of his adopted continent with the sound of waterfalls, birdsongs, crackling leaves and a modern electronic aesthetic. The result is a dreamy, deep, melodic journey that entrances as much through headphones as it does on the dancefloor. His latest album Hogar explores what it means to feel at home - from putting down roots to being forced to flee, from missing home to creating a new one. He has released music on Wonderwheel Recordings (Cenotes, Balance Tributaries: A Remix Album (El Búho Remixes)), ZZK Records Colibria - History of Colour Remix) and Shika Shika (Camino De Flores, Tamoanchan) collaborated with producers and musicians like Luzmila Carpio, Lucas Santanna, Chancha Via Circuito, Mercedes Nasta, Lagartijeando, Matanza and Barrio Lindo He also co-runs global artists collective Shika Shika and co-odinated the non-profit album A Guide to the Birdsong of South America and is a member of DJs For Climate Action. Currently based in Toulouse, France he has played or lived in Buenos Aires, Mexico City, Seoul, Amsterdam, Glasgow and more.
