A new label emerges from the Bogotá night scene to connect Latin American scenes
At the start of this year, Todo Lo Bueno officially announced the launch of its record label. This marks a new stage for this transnational cultural project based in Bogotá, Colombia, the city where the collective has been designing and organising its events since its inception.
Born out of a collective desire, which at first glance took the form of parties, Todo Lo Bueno is nevertheless more than that. Warmer, more inclusive, when the night becomes a space for meeting, caring and collective construction, it’s a safe bet that we find ourselves in a temporality organised by Todo Lo Bueno.
To launch its recording activity, the collective-turned-label unveils Memoria Atemporal, an album by Data High, a pioneering figure on the Venezuelan electronic scene. This first release immediately lays the artistic and emotional foundations for the project.
A first groundbreaking release by Data High
Behind Data High is Jonathan Montoya, a key figure in Venezuelan electronic music whose career spans more than 25 years. His practice, fuelled by constant exploration of rhythms and scenes, has shaped him into a profoundly free and curious artist.
With Memoria Atemporal, Data High has released an album that opens the label’s catalogue and sums up its spirit. The album creates a nostalgic and enveloping atmosphere, conceived from the club, but a club understood as a living archive. We can hear fragments of the history of Latin American electronic music, permeated by a tropical warmth that connects memory, body and movement.
Choosing this record as the first release is a seminal gesture: anchoring ourselves in history to better look towards the future.
Todo Lo Bueno: from a party to a cultural ecosystem guided by warmth and emotion
Although Todo Lo Bueno takes shape at night, particularly through their events organised in Bogotá, the project goes far beyond the scope of the event itself. It is a transnational cultural laboratory that creates continuous spaces for research, production and circulation within Latin American nightlife.
The label becomes a natural extension of this vision: a tool to support artists, connect scenes across borders and document processes that are often invisible. At Todo Lo Bueno, the process is as important as the result, with particular attention paid to the time between parties, when ideas mature, languages are tested and collective memories are built.
Musically, Todo Lo Bueno evolves in a fluid territory, between house, boogie, synthpop, Brazilian grooves and electronica, without ever settling into a single aesthetic.
What matters most is how the music makes you feel. Memoria Atemporal fully embodies this approach: an album designed for the dance floor, but also for attentive listening, where emotion flows as freely as the rhythm.
With the launch of its label and the release of Memoria Atemporal, Todo Lo Bueno is transforming a collective desire into a sustainable space. Born as a party, the project has now established itself as a place of circulation, care and creation, where Latin American electronic music can unfold in all its richness.
This first release from Data High marks the beginning of a catalogue designed as a living archive, deeply rooted in Bogotá’s nightlife and open to all scenes across the continent.
“Si estás aquí, eres de los buenos”
‘If you’re here, it means you’re one of the good guys,’ jokes the friendly team in their SoundCloud description. But los buenos are really them: Yismna and clubsoxial, the co-founders of the Todo Lo Bueno project.
Born in rural Brazil, Yismna entered the scene as a documentary filmmaker, through writing, photography and film. This narrative sensibility now permeates her DJ sets, which feature playful house music, forgotten grooves and nostalgic gems that are both intimate and unifying. Based in Bogotá, she is one of the founders of Todo Lo Bueno, contributing to the project with her warmth, attention to detail and close connection between music and memory.
clubsoxial is the alias of DJ and producer Alan Lorenzo, originally from Venezuela and based in Bogotá. Active since 2014, he develops emotional and festive selections, rooted in house and electro, but always infused with Latin American rhythms and a strong cultural identity. As a founding member, he is actively involved in the artistic and curatorial direction of Todo Lo Bueno.
The label is launched. The night is warm. Memories are stirring.
Bonus: obviously, as it’s a small world, we found the Bogotá-based duo on our mate Maïa‘s Rinse France residency.
