• REGAL86

Regal86, the sonic provocateur hailing from Monterrey, Mexico, redefines techno with an electrifying blend of '90s hip-hop grit and cutting-edge electronic innovation. Unleashing "El Gallinazo" at a Mexico City rave marked his audacious defiance of techno norms, sparking debates and cementing his reputation as a boundary-pushing artist. Transitioning from hip-hop roots, Regal86's sound, deeply embedded in hardgroove, pays homage to Chicano culture. His 2023 album "La Onda" samples '90s rap and echoes the spirit of East Los Angeles gangs. A tireless traveler and astute businessman, Regal86's US tour featured USB sticks loaded with 500+ tracks spanning techno, jungle, drum & bass, and dreamy rap instrumentals. In seven-hour sets, he seamlessly blends genres, challenging DJing norms. As a Mexican ambassador in European techno circles, Regal86's authentic and diverse approach challenges industry norms. His journey continues, propelled by a fervent fan base, showcasing the dynamism of Mexican electronic music on a global stage. In a genre where identities converge, Regal86 stands as a beacon of contemporary techno brilliance.
