Tierra Bomba out now!!!! nuevo EP pa formar el espeluque 🧨🧨🧨 disponible en todas las plataformas bajo el sello @studiobarnhus artwork by @stefan.falt

𝗔𝗥𝗡𝟰𝗟𝟮 - 𝙏𝙄𝙀𝙍𝙍𝘼 𝘽𝙊𝙈𝘽𝘼 out everywhere today via @studiobarnhus . Produced, composed and mixed by ARN4L2. Mastered by Camilo Silva. Guitars by Jayo Puello (A1,B3). Tambor alegre by Andrés Morillo, gaita by William Escamilla (A3). Artwork and design by @stefan.falt . Studio Barnhus 2026 BARN 129 Studio Barnhus presents @arn4l2 , a producer from Cartagena, who debuts on the Stockholm label with the striking EP TIERRA BOMBA, a record built from the fractured memory of an island in the Colombian Caribbean, understood as a surface in motion. The project draws on tools present in the early development of the Champeta genre – the Yamaha RY30 drum machine, the Yamaha DD-14 drum pad, and the Pyramid mixer – alongside percussive gestures and guitars characteristic of the style. On songs like the effortlessly bouncy title track and the gaita-laced curveball 𝘽𝙐𝙇𝙇𝘼, featuring the characteristic melodic flute of the region, ARN4L2’s instinct for propulsion and detail comes into focus, while vocal tracks like the energetic closer 𝙇𝘼 𝙉̃𝘼𝙋𝘼 integrate the artist’s voice as texture, without hierarchy or center. TIERRA BOMBA becomes a point of convergence, where technology, sonic practices, and fragments of local popular culture meet in the present tense. Released through Studio Barnhus on 12’’ vinyl and all digital platforms on March 13. Text written by Edna Martinez, @ednamartinezdj .
