Summary

The dance floor never lies! Jose talked about music the universal language, counterpoint in composition, why the stage sounds weird, sidechaining vocal fx and synths mixing, recording in the jungle, and building beats with Elektron and Ableton Live.

My guest today is Jose Castillo, a producer/songwriter for artists seeking to bridge the gap between the latin and english-speaking world, and the pop and alternative worlds. Jose's discography has a great dance floor feel with a mastery of EDM style.

His recent work includes Grammy and Latin-Grammy nominated releases by Camila Cabello, Bomba Estereo, Bad Bunny, Manu Chao, Fonseca, and many others.

His unique background combines a Caribbean and Latin sensibility, with classical training in composition, and a special point of view that comes from having toured around the world's best festivals with Bomba Estereo.

Thanks to Damian Taylor for making our introduction.
