WAKYIN RETURNS TO THE FOREFRONT WITH ‘PELIGROSA’ - AN INFECTIOUS MELODIC HOUSE ANTHEM

https://linktr.ee/wakyin

Born of Dominican and Puerto Rican heritage, Wakyin stands at the crossroads of cultures, fusing the deep, hypnotic pulse of afro-centric rhythms with the colour, soul and passion of Latin music. His sound is a living reflection of his roots and an unmistakable sonic profile to build from - percussion-driven, melodically rich and irresistibly groove-focused - making him one of the most distinctive selectors in the industry.

Wakyin’s rise has been fuelled by a unique artistic vision that’s as much about energy and connection as it is about technical precision. His 2023 breakout hit ‘Beso’ became a global sensation and one of the sounds of that summer, clocking up over 112 million streams on Spotify alone and earning heavy rotation in the sets of scene leaders and underground selectors like Adam Port, &Me, Gordo and more.

In the studio, Wakyin draws on the folkloric rhythms of the Caribbean, weaving them seamlessly into the structures of house, afro house, and melodic house. The result is a signature sound that’s both deeply rooted and forward-thinking, music that feels simultaneously timeless and refreshingly modern. His productions have found a home on a number of respected labels, but most recently, he’s found a home with Ultra Records.

Whether commanding an intimate club floor or delivering peak-time energy at festivals, Wakyin’s DJ sets are a journey, built on a deep understanding of rhythm, groove and emotional flow from a number of reference points. Each performance carries the warmth of his Latin heritage and an undeniable dancefloor instinct that keeps crowds moving until the lights turn on. With his latest release ‘Peligrosa’ already generating an early buzz across the global dance community, Wakyin continues to push his sound forward while staying true to the cultural heartbeat that inspires him.
