Atrice is a Swiss-Colombian duo known for their fusion of intricate sound design and bass-driven club music. Their music is shaped by everyday encounters and the constant flood of digital stimuli. Drawing inspiration from sound system culture and bass music, they channel the raw energy of communal spaces and the physical impact of low frequencies.
With backgrounds in composition, music theory, and sound art, their sound blends detailed textures with depth, and atmosphere. Influenced by acousmatic music and rich sonic layers, they use digital processing to craft sounds that blur the line between organic and synthetic. Atrice’s approach is intuitive yet precise, creating music that works just as well on a powerful sound system as in a more intimate setting, while staying true to a DIY spirit.
Over the past few years, they have released three records on the respected Ilian Tape label to great critical response, as well as two on the forward-thinking TraTraTrax label. Their catalog also includes releases on Unknown Untitled, Panel Audio, Nostro Hood System, [re]sources, Ozelot, Les Points, and their own imprint, Miras.
Their DJ sets are high-energy and unpredictable, often layering multiple grooves simultaneously to create intense, rhythmic textures. Meanwhile, their live performances highlight their intricate production approach, using real-time manipulation to push their sonic boundaries further.
