Massacre is a seminal Argentine alternative rock band known for blending punk roots with melodic, introspective songwriting. Guitarist Pablo Mondello has been a key force behind the band’s distinctive sound, providing both raw energy and nuanced textures. His riffs and tone are integral to Massacre’s identity.
This band formed as the live backing group for Argentine icon Indio Solari, evolving into a powerful ensemble in its own right. Bassist Fernando 'Fer' Nalé anchors the group’s expansive sound with precision and groove. His playing bridges the emotional depth of the lyrics with dynamic stage energy.
Fin del Mundo crafts instrumental post-rock landscapes infused with emotion and cinematic flair. Guitarist Julieta H leads the band’s melodic storytelling, using reverb-laden tones and layered harmonies. Her playing evokes introspection and grandeur in equal measure.
Blending post-punk repetition with melodic indie rock and emotional depth, Él Mató has carved out a unique sound in the Latin American alternative scene.
Niño Elefante delivers the band's core guitar textures through minimalist phrasing and emotive restraint. His style emphasizes repetition and subtle shifts, shaping the melancholic and hypnotic quality that defines their sound. He is essential in sustaining the emotional tension of each track.
Pantro Puto expands the sonic landscape with ambient guitar lines and tight rhythmic interplay. His contribution adds depth, contrast, and an almost cinematic feel to the band’s layered arrangements. Together with Niño Elefante, he builds the harmonic backbone of Él Mató’s immersive sound.
A pioneering band in the Latin American reggae scene, Los Pericos have fused Caribbean rhythms with Argentine flair since the late ’80s. Bassist Gastón Gonçalves brings a steady, soulful pulse that has been vital to the band’s groove and longevity. His role has been key in shaping their upbeat, danceable sound.
Los Espíritus is a cornerstone of Argentina’s contemporary psychedelic rock scene, known for their hypnotic blend of blues, Afro-Latin rhythms, and introspective urban poetry. Guitarists Maxi Prietto and Miguel Mactas are central to the band’s sonic identity—Prietto channels a raw, mystical expressiveness, while Mactas weaves in textured, groove-laden layers. Together, they craft a richly atmospheric sound that is both soulful and transcendent.
I was keeping watch at the hotel where the band was staying when I got lucky, walking around the block, I found Thom Yorke at the other entrance. He’d just stepped out with a couple of collaborators. I approached him, barely believing it. He smiled when I told him we made guitar pedals at our Argentine factory, Dedalo Fx. “Cool!” he said. I pulled out two pedals, an ALU9 and a Pixel, the pedals we thought he might like. “Oh, Guitar Synth! I want this!” he said. I explained the controls right there on the sidewalk, then walked away, just hoping he’d use them someday.
In 2019, Thom released Anima, and we were blown away to hear the ALU9’s unique timbre in the final moments of “I’m a Very Rude Person.” One of the world’s greatest musicians—one of our heroes—was using our pedal.
