DJ Python

DJ Python is one of the aliases of Brian Piñeyro. He works with deep reggaeton sounds, merging dembow rhythms with the characteristics of deep house. The sinuous Caribbean pulse of reggaeton and the celestial atmospheres of ambient music might appear to have little in common, but in the hands of DJ Python, these disparate genres sound like a natural combination. From his home in Queens, DJ Python concocts astral synth pieces, anchored by the “dem bow” rhythm—the beat adopted from Jamaican dancehall by Puerto Rican reggaeton producers and since exported around the Spanish-speaking world by megastars such as Daddy Yankee and Don Omar.
