More than that, it creates a community that provides spaces for real-time collective knowledge that explores the forefront of avant-garde sounds. This philosophy behind dance music culture comes full circle in the case of Santa Muerte. Hailing from Houston, Texas, this power duo Sines and Panchitron, have a Soundcloud account offering up a pallet of infectious rhythms grown out of guttural darkness that oscillates between sensual perreo and a frenetic mix of hyperactive grime vibes. Highlighting the duo’s dark aura is the name of the act, Santa Muerte; Mexico’s cult of Holy Death, a reference to the worship of an underground goddess of death and the dead. From trap and hip-hop to dembow, Sines and Panchitron embrace an inclusive encounter of music cultures. Encompassing various factors ranging from visual aesthetics to the sound itself, Santa Muerte is more than music; it’s a sole expression of the everyday mosaic of subcultures in the United States.
