El Búho & Alex Serra - Sierra Del Mar by WONDERWHEEL Recordings

The first single from Ayni, El Búho’s exciting new collaboration series, brings together the British producer and Spanish vocalist Alex Serra in a long-awaited, harmonious collaboration. Both artists share a deep-rooted connection to nature, spirituality, and a fusion of electronic and acoustic sounds. The duo first crossed paths performing in Hamburg, and their mutual admiration blossomed into this project. It began when El Búho sent a rough dub idea, inspiring Alex to write and add his captivating lyrics. After several creative exchanges, the track was polished with masterful dub mixing from Serra’s long-term collaborator, Toti Dub.

This track is a rich slice of deep-dub, reminiscent of Rhythm & Sound, with Serra’s hauntingly beautiful vocals floating effortlessly above Perkins’ meticulously crafted organic dub production. Layered with horns, bird calls, sparkling hi-hats, and drenched in warm reverb and delay, the song captures the essence of a misty dawn over Central America’s Pacific coast, where lush green mountains plunge into the crashing waves of the ocean.
