With work broad in scope, a Colombian who has lived and worked in Mexico for the last 15 years, Puentes is a cultural architect who’s contribution to the world of reggaeton has moved beyond Latin understanding. Bringing female energy to a male dominated scene, pulling inspirations from her locales of Colombia and Mexico and with talents across DJing, running La Chekera Rec a creation studio and label showcasing artists rooted in her surroundings. She also runs her own fashion line called RIP.
Puentes’ previous underground projects oriented around noise and experimental music in the projects Mangina, Raters and Boy Band, then releasing through her own label and eventually focusing her synergies into promoting the sounds of the scenes and environment most natural for her, which she has embodied since 2015. A deeper dive marks out as a specialist in underground, subversive and experimental reggaeton sounds summoning suggestive, highly erotic almost violent atmospheres for the dance floor.
Puentes participated in the first reggaeton Boiler Room beside DJ Playero; Sónar 2018, Barcelona; as one of the first reggaeton DJs at EDC Mexico; beside Ivy Queen and The Noise
for RBMA; Glastonbury Festival 2019; 3 x @ Primavera Sound 2019/22; Sonic Acts Festival; Unsound; and more…
