Part Miami Bass, vintage house bounce, and tribal euphoria, Coffintexts' music is a cocktail of indulgence
served straight from the queer underground.
When Coffintexts first burst onto the club scene in the late '10s, she was part of a new cohort of Miami
producers reshaping dance music. Equally influenced by everything from 90s tribal rhythms to Latin
American-inflected Club to UK rave, she emerged as part of the city's new guard. Putting out records on
labels including Omnidisc, Club Romantico, Club QU, Classico, and a forthcoming record on TraTraTrax,
she has quickly established herself as one of the Magic City's most vibrant musicians.
Even within this crowded field, Coffintexts acts as a unique center of gravity. While drawing from the
percussive promiscuity of her Peruvian heritage and the bass weight of her hometown, she also
gravitated towards the cerebral funk of '90s hardgroove, wiggly house, and the chromatic polish of UK
techno. Cutting her teeth in house parties and gay clubs across Miami, she's always gravitated towards
the minimal, groove-focused energy of dance music at its most muscular and hypnotic. This background
has put her into conversation not just with the 305, but with the larger global queer dance music
cosmology.
There aren't many producers and DJs who marry the paranoid and the psychedelic, the euphoric and the
illicit, the darkroom and the big room, the mind and the body, like Coffintexts.
As a producer, she's just as comfortable turning out lean and stripped back techno as she is sultry,
bottom-heavy downtempo with occasional partner-in-crime Jonny from Space. Her DJing is just as
adventurous. Her mixes for outlets like Crack and Mixmag showcase an ambitious and daring style where
she jumps between tempos, eras, and genres without ever losing sight of that central current of hip-
swinging groove. It's this intuitive and bodily approach to mixing that has kept dance floors from Miami to
Shanghai to Bristol, from Nowadays to III Points Festival to Razzmatazz gyrating and sweating it out until
the early hours
