Excited to share a new collaboration with one of my favorite downtempo artists, Kermesse.

I've been following their project for the past few years, and when I was offered to collaborate on this track, "Pinto," I immediately said yes.

Kermesse is a Buenos Aires-based electronic music project led by producer Gonzalo Urtizberea, known as Gurtz. Since its inception in 2015, Kermesse has been recognized for blending live instrumentation, including guitars and vocals, with electronic beats to create colorful downtempo grooves. Their music reflects a fusion of South American roots with global influences, resulting in a distinctive sound that resonates both on and off the dancefloor.

My own musical style blends Middle Eastern influences with downtempo grooves, featuring rich guitar textures woven together with electronic production. Over the years, I’ve explored fusing live guitar playing with layered synths, organic percussion, and subtle electronic elements. This approach naturally fits with Kermesse’s sound, where acoustic and electronic worlds meet, and creates a unique space for collaboration that feels both fresh and rooted in tradition.

I love the production quality, the attention to detail, and the infectious grooves. When they sent me this track with the guitar part, I was drawn to its groove and was ready to rock.

Now, after a long wait, the track is finally out, and it's even better than I thought it would be. They crafted it carefully and made sure every little detail is right on the spot. There's even a little guitar solo in the middle of it, which I enjoyed playing. The track is already making its way to playlists on Spotify and getting great reviews so far.

Here's to many more collaborations.
