Arca
Art-pop producer and DJ in Spanish and English
Arca moves between shattered club rhythm, molten synths, and exposed voice. Expect hard-edged digital percussion, sudden drops into ambient drift, and songs that can turn from tender to abrasive in a few bars. Her sets usually pull from her own catalogue, edits, and a lot of tension between pop structure and noise.
More about Arca
She came up in the 2010s from the Latin American experimental and club axis, then became a reference point in queer electronic pop. The Bandcamp bio and her own pages place her in Caracas by origin, with a practice split between producer, singer, and DJ; the C2C text correctly points to the Stretch EPs and the KiCK cycle as the pivot points in her solo run.

A story
She opened The Shed’s Mutant:Faith as a four-night performance piece, turning her body into part of the instrument.
