Debit is a composer, producer, and performer whose work spans avant-garde experimentation, global club mutations, and high-impact sound design. Her practice bridges high-concept composition, site-specific art, and visceral club performance, uniting cultural depth with bold sonic experimentation in ways few artists can.
Since 2017, she has been a pioneering force in the exportation and recontextualization of Latin American club music, shaping its global reception well before it became a marketable trend. At a time when the sound was still emerging from underground spaces, she pushed it into dialogue with techno, global bass, and experimental electronics, building a blueprint for cross-cultural club innovation that resisted clichés and challenged the global scene’s sonic hierarchy.
Her records are research-driven and conceptually rigorous. Animus, System, and The Long Count (the latter named by The Guardian as the #3 Best Global Album of 2022) have been recognized by Resident Advisor, Pitchfork, and The Guardian for expanding the vocabulary of electronic music.
On the dance floor, Debit’s DJ sets blend Latin-inspired percussive rhythms (guaracha, tribal, raptor house, dembow, reggaeton, and Brazilian funk) with techno and bass-heavy grooves. Her fast-cut mixing style, grounded in advanced computer synthesis, creates sets that are as body-moving as they are culturally transformative, connecting underground traditions to forward-looking sound.

Concepción Huerta is a Mexican multidisciplinary artist working across sound, visual media, installation and performance. Based between Amsterdam and Mexico City, her practice brings together field recording, synthesis, tape manipulation, spatial composition and audiovisual forms, treating sound as a physical, narrative and political material. Emerging from photography and moving image, Huerta has become a key voice in Mexico’s experimental sound circuit, with work that sits between ambient, noise, drone and musique concrète while remaining rooted in questions of memory, place, silence, violence and embodied listening.
Her recordings often unfold like unstable terrains: dense, tactile environments where foley, electronics, processed tape and acoustic resonance become carriers of emotional and historical pressure. Alongside her solo work, Huerta is also part of the Mexico City ensemble Amor Muere with Mabe Fratti, Camille Mandoki and Gibrana Cervantes, a project praised for its collective approach to freeform chamber improvisation, electronics and voice. Her recent 2025 solo album El Sol de los Muertos, released on Umor Rex, is one of her most forceful statements to date: a subharmonic, tape-scarred work that draws on volcanic imagery, the open veins of Latin America, colonial memory and the subterranean force of histories that refuse to stay buried.
