Carl Nunes

For proof that dance music is a truly global affair, you need look no further than Guatemalan DJ Carl Nunes, who’s won fans across the world with dozens of gigs in China, India and Indonesia in 2017 as part of his Limitless Tour, alongside shows in Vegas, Mexico and riotous homecoming shows in Latin America.

“Apart from producing and collaborating with other artists, I have been learning from other cultures,” says Nunes of his global adventures.

One look at his social media pages confirms that Carl Nunes is an artist immersed in global culture — from walking the Great Wall of China to exploring the back streets of Bali and Hong Kong, he’s made an effort to go beyond the nightclubs while on tour.

But when he’s behind the decks and creating in his studio, his music speaks the universal dancefloor language. “I’ve been trying to absorb and assimilate as much as possible, creating my own mix-match of concepts and perceptions of the world,” Nunes tells us.

The results have been impressive, with Armada releasing his tropical hit ‘White Dress’ earlier in the year, a more chilled counter-point to earlier releases like the huge hit ‘Out Of My Mind’.
