Josi Devil
with Merca Bae
Selection of new dancehall and reggaeton
Madrid based producer and DJ Merca Bae, has established
himself as a highly skilled creator of club rhythms and is
recognized internationally across the music scene.
His influences draw on genres like dancehall and reggaeton,
focused on crafting highly danceable tracks that manifest in a
wide range of BPM’s, styles and genres. His selection and
production styles are also shaped by the time he spent living
in London; being inspired by dubstep, techno and jungle.
Merca is known for both his versatility and unique melodic
approach to production. He has been described as one of the
most groundbreaking artists in Madrid’s new sound
generation; filling a gap between dancehall and Caribbean
rhythms, heavy basslines, and industrial beats.
Merca has self released several EPs, compilations and mix-
tapes that placed him firmly on the map of the underground.
They led him to play in different continents and at festivals
such as Sónar (Barcelona), Primavera Sound (Brazil, Chile),
Creepy Teepy (Czech Republic) or Mutek (Barcelona); and
clubs including Berghain (Berlin), Cakeshop (Seoul),
All (Shanghai), Terminal (Mexico DF) or Boiler Room.
He has also appeared on canonical radio stations such as
NTS, Rinse FM, Radar Radio, Shanghai Community Radio,
Reprezent Radio or The Lot Radio.
Further, Merca is also introducing Manrique Machete, his new
aka that explores club music through acid breaks, jungle,
ghetto house and electro.
This great level of international recognition quickly led him to
becoming one of the most valued producers and DJs on the
Spanish scene. Merca currently has his own radio show
‘Místico Dubs’; curates his own night party ‘Nocturna’ and is
one of the creative directors of Bad Gyal’s show and her
official live DJ.
