    their own biography

    the whole biography
    DJ, producer, and antidisciplinary artist MORENXXX—also known as Jesús Hilario Reyes—is a true enigmatic force exalted from Chicago’s underground. MORENXXX's hypnotic yet blisteringly-fast sound ranges with rapturous percussion and ethereal intensity, weaving infectious grooves and defiant rhythms far above the genre battlegrounds, culminating in something otherworldly and entirely their own. Tectonic, boundless, undeniable, MORENXXX enmeshes the contemporary and the timeless with cyclonic fluidity. ;) morenxxx.me@gmail.com Asia: info@wildblur.studio
