From the cantina floor
to the altar of the club.
[PARAGRAPH 1 — The origin story. What moment, what street, what sound from Guadalajara lit the fuse? When did he know this wasn't just about listening to music — it was about moving it?]
[PARAGRAPH 2 — The sound. Unapologetic gay club, cowboy boots on sweaty concrete. Synthesizers that sound like the Jalisco desert at 3am. What cultures, genres, and scenes are in his DNA?]
[PARAGRAPH 3 — Torta Ahogada Records, collaborations, the vision behind Mis Nueves. What does this album mean to him? Why nine?]
"[Signature quote — a truth only ZAPATEKNO could say.]"
— ZAPATEKNOThree worlds.
One DJ.
The dance floor as a space of liberation. Where the body sets the rules and the beat is the law.
Road dust, leather, and a synthesizer that sounds like the desert. The aesthetic of the Mexican west — reimagined.
Jalisco in the DNA. Tapatío energy — unfiltered, untranslated, fully present.
Mis
Nueves
The debut album from ZAPATEKNO — loaded with energy, flesh, and movement. Nine tracks that build a universe between the vaquero cantina and a club that never closes.

The Road
[The first release. What did ZAPATEKNO do to Flakes to transform it? The debut that established the sound.]
[The remix that spread the word. Darker, more danceable, rawer. Barrio energy translated to the club floor.]
[The bilingual track that merged northern Mexico with the dance floor. Ring ring ring — the phone never stops.]
[Four remixes in one month. The pace of a DJ on a hot streak — each track its own identity, its own universe.]
The album that's been building. Nine tracks. One complete world. [Exact date pending confirmation]
"[Artist statement pending — What does he want people to feel on the dance floor? What is Guadalajara to him? What is a modern vaquero in a gay club?]"— ZAPATEKNO · 2026
