Over the course of the 2020s, the Miami-based DJ and producer has situated himself at the forefront of Magic City’s more forward-thinking club scene—both for his solo work, which synthesizes underground club textures with Latin American and Afro-Caribbean rhythms, and for his collaborations with Spanish pop experimentalist ROSALÍA and rising reggaetón star Isabella Lovestory. On his debut album A Tropical Entropy, inspired by Joan Didion’s 1987 book Miami and released on the Colombian dance label TraTraTrax, León swathes the sun-bleached sounds of reggaetón, dembow, and dancehall in hazy reverb and synth pads, elaborating on the micro-genre he’s coined “arquitectronica.” Ela Minus collab “Ghost Orchid” evokes a dream of reggaetón from long ago and far away, and the sublime “Bikini” with Erika de Casier channels the feeling of an endless South Florida sunset.
