Bumbac Joe is a veteran of the turntables, Peruvian-Venezuelan composer and producer based in Chicago whose beats and grooves summon listeners into the fire of Latin American dance. Taking his sampling, looping and remixing into the studio, this beatmaker transforms folkloric rhythms into topical beats and brings marginalized music onto the contemporary dance floor. Winner of the Chicago Reader's "Best Local Dance Producer 2016", with tracks published on labels such as Sonorama Records (Chicago), Buenort Collective Records (Chicago) and Gozadera Records (NY) among others.
