“My Favourite Music? A Remix of the World.”

What is your favorite genre of music?

If I had to describe my favourite kind of music, I would say: it is the music that escapes category — the kind that defies the tyranny of genre, avoids the algorithm, and lives in the hands of a good DJ. I’m not interested in popular music in the usual sense, nor in the language of mass conformity. I am drawn to the moment music begins to play with itself — when a DJ remixes a sound, a texture, a voice, a beat, and turns it into something unexpected, something alive.

My musical preference is not about style, but about mentality. It could be techno spliced with gospel harmonies, drum ’n’ bass colliding with jazz trumpet riffs, ska horns weaving into metal guitar solos, or hip-hop verses laced with bird calls from a punk forest. I love it when genres fold into each other like dancers improvising in the dark — raw, joyful, defiant.

The remix is a philosophy of life: take what is, break it, bend it, love it into something else. That’s why I’ve always felt I’d be at home in South America, where remix culture isn’t a niche but a way of being — a way of celebrating difference by stitching it together into rhythm.

Give me a set by a DJ who’s not afraid to be playful, someone who can make me smile with their eyes and make my body move without permission. Whether they’re young or old, femme or masc, straight or queer — I care about their energy, the kind that’s felt before it’s understood. A real DJ doesn’t just spin music. They spin possibility.

So what music do I like? Anything that’s reborn in the hands of someone who dares to remix the world — and lets me shake my hips while it happens.
