6: Hot Seat: Mowri

New Latin Wave

The first rule is: don’t be boring.”

MOWRI’s debut album ANTIFAZ is a dynamic sonic journey. “Each song is a different mask,” and is a result of “years of me making different things and smashing them together.”

MOWRI grew up with music, his pops was in a band in San Salvador. Growing up around rhythm, he found his love for drums at ten years old. He studied experimental sounds in Scotland and Richmond, Virginia, and now collaborates with artists in LA and NYC, where he is based.

Expect this album to reflect the years MOWRI spent making it; it goes up, down, it’s groovy and aggressive, ambient yet structured, and pulls from punk, hip hop, and electronic vibes. “This album is an exploration into different cultures and sounds around the world,” he said, and although he loves collaboration, “the fact that this album is coming out is me saying, I am a solo artist.”
