Journey into Music
hombre plata’s path to production wasn’t exactly textbook. It started at house parties and family gatherings, where he was the unofficial DJ—armed with Spotify and a great sense of what the crowd wanted. But a Desert Hearts concert and a marathon set by Demuir at a warehouse party changed everything. “Watching Demuir spin from 9 to 7 with such an incredible selection showed me the kind of vibe I wanted to create,” he says.
With a background in flute performance during his school years (yes, really) and an obsession with electronic music’s intricacies, hombre plata took the leap into DJing and production. Encouraged by friends and inspired by artists like DJ Susan, Brunello, and Miss Monique, he began crafting tracks that blend moody, dark tones with lush, progressive layers.
The EP: bike lane dui
bike lane dui isn’t just an EP—it’s an invitation to get lost in a soundscape where minimal meets meaningful. Each track is a polished journey that showcases hombre plata’s knack for layering sounds and building moods.
