Since his debut in
2010, Pablo Fierro has journeyed from unknown producer to one of the most respected
names in global dance music. Releasing across a range of imprints that includes
Innervisions, Defected, Warner Music and Compost Records, he’s established a
reputation as a visionary and uncompromising producer, willing to venture
across borders both musical and geographical in search of inspiration. Hailing
from the Canary Islands, but located in NYC, Fierro is a globe-trotting DJ with
international reach and recognition.
Producer, DJ,
composer and multi-instrumentalist, Fierro is an example of an artist dedicated
to exploring the outer limits of his craft. The past decade has seen him refine
an idiosyncratic variation of house music that utilises forceful percussion,
mutative rhythms and expansive atmospheres to devastating effect, opening up a new
and progressive space within the genre. Words like “tribal” and “tropical” are
often applied to his works, but such descriptors don’t do justice to the
singularity of his extraordinary sound, a truly global aesthetic that features sonic
footprints from all four corners of the map. Deeply enveloping and in perpetual
evolution, it’s a trip into the imagination of one of the most inventive
producers in contemporary electronic music.
Championed by heavyweights such as Gilles Peterson, Dixon and Black Coffee, Pablo Fierro continues to enlighten those in search of musical transcendence: his latest release, 2019’s ‘Tel Aviv to Casablanca’, was released through Innervisions, one of dance music’s most celebrated institutions.
