Matias Aguayo presents Anenoa

Known for continually redefining the possibilities of electronic music, Aguayo's latest work expands his exploration of voice, rhythm, and collective experience - creating songs that invite participation as much as they reward listening.

Across more than two decades, Aguayo has remained one of the most inventive figures in contemporary electronic music. From co-founding the influential duo Closer Musik, to his long-standing creative relationship with Kompakt, and the creation of the genre-defying Cómeme label, Aguayo has consistently pushed dance music beyond convention - blending raw electronics, storytelling, humor, and performance into something deeply human and alive.

Now based in Mexico, Aguayo's music has absorbed the vibrant energy of community-driven dance culture. Much of Anenoa is sung in Spanish and shaped by a spirit of collaboration that runs throughout the record. Long known for building creative communities through his label and performances, Aguayo brings together a diverse group of artists across Latin America, Europe, and beyond, turning the album into a constellation of voices and perspectives.

At its core, Anenoa is a deeply collaborative project, reflecting Aguayo's long-standing belief that dance music thrives through exchange and shared creativity.

The album features several striking vocal pairings. Chilean pop visionary Javiera Mena joins Aguayo on "¿No Ves?," Mena is widely recognized as one of the leading figures in modern Latin American pop, with multiple Latin Grammy nominations and a catalog of acclaimed synth-pop releases that have helped define the sound of contemporary Chilean pop.

On "La Heredera," Aguayo collaborates with two powerful voices from the Latin American underground: IARAHEI, an emerging artist from Santiago de Chile known for her distinctive spoken-sung flow and experimental pop sensibility, and Camille Mandoki, a Mexico City vocalist whose ethereal tone brings an otherworldly dimension to the track.

Mexico's Girl Ultra appears on "Agua que corre." Widely celebrated for her genre-blurring approach to R&B, soul, and electronic music, Girl Ultra has become one of the most internationally recognized voices in Mexico's new generation of alternative pop artists.

The album also features "Anenoa Pt. 2," a collaboration with Daudi Matsiko, the Ugandan-born, UK-based singer-songwriter known for his emotionally resonant alternative folk work, alongside Argentine singer Barbie Williams, whose vocals appear throughout the album and provide an essential thread connecting many of its songs.

Together, these collaborators reinforce the album's sense of openness and cross-cultural exchange - a reflection of Aguayo's long-standing commitment to building artistic dialogue across scenes and continents.
