Debit is a composer, producer, and performer whose work spans avant-garde experimentation, global club mutations, and high-impact sound design. Her practice bridges high-concept composition, site-specific art, and visceral club performance, uniting cultural depth with bold sonic experimentation in ways few artists can.

Since 2017, she has been a pioneering force in the exportation and recontextualization of Latin American club music, shaping its global reception well before it became a marketable trend. At a time when the sound was still emerging from underground spaces, she pushed it into dialogue with techno, global bass, and experimental electronics, building a blueprint for cross-cultural club innovation that resisted clichés and challenged the global scene’s sonic hierarchy.

Her records are research-driven and conceptually rigorous. Animus, System, and The Long Count ,the latter named by The Guardian as the #3 Best Global Album of 2022. She has been recognized by Resident Advisor, Pitchfork, and The Guardian for expanding the vocabulary of electronic music.

On the dance floor, Debit’s DJ sets blend Latin-inspired percussive rhythms (guaracha, tribal, raptor house, and Brazilian funk) with techno and bass-heavy grooves. Her fast-cut mixing style, grounded in advanced computer synthesis, creates sets that are as body-moving as they are culturally transformative, connecting underground traditions to forward-looking sound, while performing worldwide at festivals such as Roskilde, Berlin Atonal, Primavera, and MUTEK Montréal/Mexico.

In recent years, her focus has expanded to landmark compositions and site-specific works engaging with layered temporalities, historical narratives, and spatial acoustics. These projects have brought her to major art and music institutions, including commissions for the Whitney Museum, Venice Biennale, and TONO Festival. She has presented work and led discussions at Haus der Kunst (Munich), Unsound Festival (Poland), the Audio Engineering Society, and MUTEK.
