Matias Aguayo Q+A + “Rollerskate (Radio Edit)” MP3
- story Claire Lobenfeld
Matias Aguayo’s nurture of his creative community is transcontinental. When he is not working in Paris, Matias lives in Buenos Aires, the birthplace of the BumBumBox parties—a communal affair where he and his Comeme compatriots gather in public outdoor spaces, armed with ghettoblasters playing pre-made mixes, like a drum circle that avoids improvised hippie snags. In clubs as a DJ, Aguayo connects to his audience by performing live vocals over the music, the singalong enveloping him into the audience. His most recent release Ay, Ay, Ay is also informed by his international sensibilities, transcending language, as he almost strictly uses his voice as the musical content of each song and has no preferred dialect when approaching lyrics. Aguayo talks to us about his belief in comradery, expectations of club shows and rollerskates—the topic of the chirpy first single off of the album. Check the song below and the interview after the jump. Aguayo really likes ellipses.
