Helado Tropical

Helado Negro’s spectral experimental pop draws imagined beings, ghosts, haunted machines, and atmospheres into a beautiful and heartfelt world. His most recent album, 2024’s Phasor, was hailed by Pitchfork for its “space-age synths, wistful romance, and the breeziest vibe in town.”

Best known for their rhythmic, hip-swaying tropical feel, Reyna Tropical’s music features Afro-Indigenous drum patterns and environmental samples—expertly mixed with dreamy guitar riffs and soft vocals by Fabi Reyna.
