MALA MÍA - EP

Album ∙ Música Mexicana ∙ 2024

Fuerza Regida & Grupo Frontera

Back in 2022, Fuerza Regida and then-rising stars Grupo Frontera joined forces for the momentous “Bebe Dame.” As an early cosigner of the Texan act, it makes sense that the California-based project led by Jesús Ortiz Paz (aka JOP) would eventually reunite for another track. Few, however, could’ve anticipated an entire EP’s worth of collaborative songs from the two groups, now ranking among the biggest and most popular in música mexicana. Following Fuerza Regida’s radical and unique PERO NO TE ENAMORES, a full-length exploration of corridos through a dance-floor lens, this concise set doesn’t so much return to form as find common ground with their tremendously talented Hidalgo County cousins. Comprised of five songs, the surprise-released MALA MÍA eschews electronic experimentation altogether, leaning into vocal harmony and lush instrumentation. A musical merger of their core creative strengths, “ME JALO” starts out with boisterousness and peaks with a cumbia coda. That latter vibe returns for “COQUETA,” showcasing the accordion flourishes of Juan Javier Cantú and the percussive charms of Carlos Guerrero.

NYE 2025 (DJ Mix) Album ∙ Dance ∙ 2024 Sonny Fodera In 2024, electronic music entered a new creative era. A decade after the EDM boom, and a few years out of lockdown’s subdued haze, dance music reestablished its footing as a playground of experimentation. Stadiums and festivals filled with adventurous cross-pollinators like Jamie xx, John Summit, and RÜFÜS DU SOL, while underground clubs pulsed with sounds that defied easy categorization, courtesy of innovators like horsegiirL and Yanamaste. Really, the year was about reclaiming electronic music’s core ethos: providing a space of communal creativity that refuses to be put in a box. In that spirit, Apple Music invited DJs and producers from all corners of the scene to create exclusive DJ mixes for New Year’s Eve. They’re bold, boundary-pushing, and full of surprises.
