Introducing: Bones El Galactico

The electronic music scene is buzzing right now, on both sides of the Atlantic, and like any scene that is flourishing there is some good and some bad. Thankfully we aren’t interested in the bad. Bones El Galactico is a producer reppin’ the DMV area hard (D.C/ Maryland/ Virginia) and while you may not have heard of him, it’s about time that changed. His latest single BLOW was picked up by Skream & Benga on their Friday night Radio 1 show and now he has a massive EP titled Black Winter on the way. I was lucky enough to get a few words with a man who is on his grind right now.
Check BLOW out here:

You said you were from the D.C./Maryland area and visit Miami often, is that because there are more opportunities in Miami?

I’m from Virginia Specifically. There’s no special reason, just that the majority of the artists I currently work with are based in Miami. The setting there is great as well.

With regards to travel does the music scene differ greatly between different parts of America?

Yes, every area has their own sound or a certain movement. As far as the DC area, Moombahton is the scene.

Artists you've worked with and artists you are hoping to work with in the near future? 

Within the Latin World I've worked with some great names  . Fuego , Jking Y Maximan , Elvis Crespo , Jencarlos Canela along with some new collaborations in the works. 

What's the dream and where do you want it to take you?  

The mission is to not be boxed in, or  stuck in one lane. Most people think they can only do one thing, or produce one style, but that’s boring. I’m here to prove I can be dominant in the Latin world and still cross into the other genres that I love. I also do my own music, which sounds nothing like the music I produce for others. I feel the time is right for that.

There's seem to be a real connection between the US and UK within the eletcro/dance circuit. Could you comment on that at all and have you noticed it?  

The UK audience is just super opened minded. I mean just look at how "BLOW" got played on BBC Radio 1. The UK is super supportive and early on artists in my opinion.

How would you explain your forthcoming Blackwinter EP? 

The concept of BLACK WINTER is to give the people something while I wrap up my debut PURPLE HEARTS.  It includes "BLOW" and another track entitled "MURDA .”  In addition to those I've included 3 new Instrumentals, 5 tracks total. 

I think it’s a cool way to have the people loving BLOW be introduced to MURDA and vice-versa.  Some people may know one and not the other.//
