The enigmatic producer Aiwaska dropped his latest LP, Flora Fauna, on June 6 via his own Aiwaska Planet imprint, cementing his reputation as a visionary in electronic music. With a 20-year career crafting emotive soundscapes, Aiwaska fuses deep house, indie dance, and melodic house into a cohesive seven-track journey. Known for his iconic mask—a gift from Peruvian shamans—he’s collaborated with heavyweights like Egyptian Lover, Roland Clark, and Robert Owens, while earning spins from Black Coffee, Solomun, and ARTBAT. His work has landed on labels like Exploited, Crosstown Rebels, and Get Physical, and his remixes for Patrice Bäumel and Tensnake have solidified his global presence. With performances at Burning Man, Odyssey, and Alfa Future People, Aiwaska continues to captivate diverse crowds.
Flora Fauna kicks off with the standout track ‘Love to Hate’, a quintessential Aiwaska cut driven by pulsating basslines, sharp percussion, and hypnotic vocals layered over moody synths. Another gem, ‘Aquarius Heaven’, merges spoken-word delivery with late-night underground energy, perfect for after-hours dancefloors. The LP features collaborations with Prana Flow, Megane Mercury, JAW, and Thomas Gandey, each adding distinct textures to the record’s exploration of house and melodic grooves. The tracks flow seamlessly, balancing raw emotion with club-ready momentum.
Beyond the music, Aiwaska Planet doubles as a platform for environmental advocacy. Each release, including Flora Fauna, features animal-inspired artwork, with proceeds from the label’s events supporting wildlife conservation. The Aiwaska Planet Project, an NFT-powered event series, blends music, art, and eco-consciousness, uniting fans for a cause. Available on all major platforms, Flora Fauna invites listeners into a spiritual and sonic odyssey, proving Aiwaska’s ability to push boundaries while staying rooted in purpose.
