Brazil’s electronic music scene is thriving, and nobody embodies it better than ALOK. His single “Hear Me Now” became a worldwide anthem, and he hasn’t stopped hitting numbers ever since it went out. Ranked the #4 DJ in the world by DJ Mag for four consecutive years, ALOK is celebrated for blending emotional melodies with deep, powerful beats.
But it’s more than just the music, he’s all about making a difference. His project, The Future Is Ancestra,l brings Indigenous voices into the electronic music scene, and he’s performed at major events like the United Nations and Global Citizen Festival. Moreover, he’s been selling out huge shows in Brazil, drawing in crowds of up to 1 million people. That’s not an error. He literally performed for over a million people at his New Year’s Eve show in 2024.
And just when you think he’s done, he drops massive collabs with artists like Anitta, Bebe Rexha, and Jess Glynne, while also getting nominated not once, but twice to the Latin GRAMMYs and getting confirmed to perform both weekends at Coachella. ALOK isn’t just a DJ, he’s a phenomenon.
GORDO

If you haven’t heard of GORDO, you’ve definitely heard his work. Born Diamanté Anthony Blackmon, he started as Carnage, making trap hits and festival anthems. But in 2022, he rebranded as GORDO and went all in on Spanish tech house, blending Latin rhythms with electronic beats.
And guess what? He caught the attention of Drake. Yes, Drake. GORDO produced several tracks on Honestly, Nevermind, including the hit “Sticky.” He also worked on Drake’s 2023 album For All The Dogs, proving that Latin producers are shaping global sounds.
But it’s not just about hip-hop collaborations. GORDO is bringing Latin energy to the house scene, working with artists like Feid and Maluma and even releasing an EP with top Latin artists like Emilia. He’s got a powerful story too: his family moved from Nicaragua to the U.S. to escape the war, and now he’s one of the biggest Latin DJs in the world.

If there’s one artist who’s redefining electronic music, it’s Arca. Alejandra Ghersi Rodríguez is not just a DJ, she’s a visionary. Her music mixes IDM, reggaetón, techno, avant-pop, and ambient, creating sounds that seem like they’re from another planet.
Arca’s work isn’t just club hits. She challenges everything, from traditional gender roles to the conventional sound of electronic music. Her Kick album series was a big deal, earning her nominations at both the GRAMMYs and Latin GRAMMYs.
She’s worked with big names like Kanye West, Björk, Rosalía, Frank Ocean, and The Weeknd, taking electronic music in new directions. Her remix of Lady Gaga’s “Rain On Me” even featured a sample of Venezuelan raptor house, showing that Latin sounds are at the core of her music. At Coachella 2024, she’s set to perform two massive sets, showing once again why she’s one of the most important names in the scene.

Vintage Culture, aka Lukas Rafael Ruiz Hespanhol, is another Brazilian powerhouse taking over the electronic scene. Known for his deep house and melodic beats, he’s built a global fanbase with remixes of New Order’s “Blue Monday” and Pink Floyd’s “Another Brick in the Wall.”
His music isn’t just club hits, it’s storytelling. He blends emotion with rhythm, creating tracks that strike a chord emotionally while getting you to move. He’s also one of the few Latin DJs who has been featured on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list and who has organized his own festival in Brazil with 25,000 attendees. Collabs? He’s teamed up with Tiësto, Alok, and Fancy Inc., proving he’s one of the most versatile DJs around.

So, let’s talk about Bizarrap who, chances are, you’ve heard his BZRP Music Sessions. His collabs with Paulo Londra, Quevedo, Young Miko, Natanael Cano, Peso Pluma, Rauw Alejandro, Nicky Jam, Duki, Nicki Nicole, Villano Antillano, Residente, and Shakira (just to name a few) have gotten billions of views.
But what sets Bizarrap apart? He began remixing Argentine freestyle battles, then redefined the game, creating a whole new platform for Latin artists to shine. In 2023, he won 3 Latin GRAMMYs, including “Quevedo: BZRP Music Sessions, Vol. 52″, winner for Best Urban Song and “Shakira: BZRP Music Sessions, Vol. 53”, winner for Best Song of the Year and Best Pop Song.

Last but definitely not least, we’ve got Mariana BO, one of the most unique DJs in the game. She’s Mexican, insanely talented, and brings something totally different to the table: she plays violin live while DJing.
That’s right. While dropping heavy basslines and massive drops, she rocks the violin, creating an experience like no other. She’s performed at festivals like Tomorrowland, EDC, and Ultra, and in 2022, she became the first Mexican DJ to perform on the main stage of Tomorrowland.
Latin DJs are not just part of the electronic music scene, they’re leading it. And this is just the beginning.
