Dengue Dengue Dengue is a Tropical Bass duo. Behind the masks are Felipe Salmon and Rafael Pereira, two producers, dj’s and graphic designers from Lima, Perú. Their work explores the rhythms from Peru and other parts of the world, recreating them electronically by mixing new and old, analog and digital, to create a unique sound and visuals. Their musical explorations go from psychedelic cumbia to dub, from salsa to footwork, from tribal to techno. Their visual and sound palette continues to grow and add new flavours to this melting pot.
In 2024, the cutting-edge club troubadours shared their first EP in almost two years, AGITA2, released via Florentino’s Club Romantico. Mixed entirely by themselves for the first time, this five-track odyssey oozes in Latin-adjacent rhythms and drums, pushing the duo into a new sonic realm that once again breaks the rules of the DNGDNGDNG output.
Felipe and Rafael carefully lure you into their twisted world of electronics and spit you right back – a musical experience equivalent to a forgiving Venus flytrap… a masochist musical experience that will keep you coming back again and again. A unique allure which encapsulates everything from Singeli to Doble Paso Reggaeton, distorted kicks and disjointed breaks with harrowing siren calls and orchestral synth hits – it’s a tripped out, fully unhinged experience which only these pair of lofty sorcerers can conjure up.
12 years in the game, the duo are still outdoing themselves and expanding the size of their sonic universe at every turn. That’s a feat not many in the realm of club music can claim and they are still having bucket loads of fun in the process.
