音乐制作人 Kamixlo 是一个不折不扣的摔跤运动粉丝。他每周都会看日本职业摔跤中一支名叫 Bullet Club 的队伍的比赛，那里面有他最喜欢的摔跤手 Finn Bálor。Kamixlo 欣赏这种运动不仅仅是因为它让人血脉贲张的现场表现，还因为它有着无与伦比的混乱，以及从独立赛场一路成为世界冠军那种决不放弃的精神。这和他的音乐之路非常吻合。提到 Kamixlo，也必然提到他的亲生兄弟 Uil K，过去他们只是两个喜欢新金属的半大小子，以制作短小的 DIY 曲目为乐趣；但正是一如既往的坚持，将他们推向当今新潮的俱乐部音乐场景中，在不同的道路上独领风骚。

“我喜欢的音乐会让你感觉自己快要死掉了。”

Music producer Kamixlo is a die-hard wrestling fan. He watches matches every week featuring a team called Bullet Club in Japanese professional wrestling, which includes his favorite wrestler, Finn Bálor. Kamixlo appreciates the sport not only for its exhilarating live performances but also for its unparalleled chaos and the indomitable spirit of those who rise from the independent circuit to become world champions. This mirrors his own musical journey. When talking about Kamixlo, one cannot overlook his brother, Uil K. In the past, they were just two kids who enjoyed nu-metal, creating short DIY tracks for fun. However, their unwavering dedication has propelled them into the contemporary club music scene, each making a unique mark on different paths.

The music I enjoy makes you feel like you’re dying.

如果说 Uli K 游离于 Emo、流行、左域电子音乐和朋克之间，那么为 Kamixlo 的音乐风格打上标签则容易得多。从刚步入音乐制作开始，Kamixlo 便钟情于拉丁和加勒比海地区流行的那些舞曲，比如 Reggaeton、Dancehall，以及许许多多仅在本地流传的奇怪音乐类型。在一个以追求贪大求全作为目标的时代，他难能可贵地保留着对于拉丁风格的强烈专注，从未改变。

If Uil K drifts between emo, pop, left-field electronic music, and punk, it's much easier to label Kamixlo's musical style. From the very beginning of his music production journey, Kamixlo has been captivated by popular dance music from Latin America and the Caribbean, such as reggaeton and dancehall, as well as a myriad of strange local genres. In an era that often prioritizes depth and complexity, he remarkably maintains a strong affinity for Latin styles, which has never wavered.

而在“混乱有趣”的创作理念引导之下，Kamixlo 用疯狂的金属敲击和沉重的鼓声替换一切元素，以至于 96 BPM 这个让许多 DJ 感到棘手的速度也变得相当具有攻击性。他人生中第一首能在俱乐部播放的音乐《Paleta》只花了三十分钟制作，但那种垃圾粉碎机一样的碾轧声恐怕在全世界播放的时长是三十分钟的几百上千倍。

ENG➡️

Guided by the creative philosophy of "chaotic fun," Kamixlo replaces all elements with frantic metal hits and heavy drums, making even the tricky 96 BPM tempo feel incredibly aggressive. His first club-ready track, "Paleta," took just thirty minutes to produce, yet its crushing, garbage disposal-like sound has likely been played for hundreds or thousands of times longer around the world.

在经过另一位音乐制作人 Lexxi 所举办的俱乐部夜晚 Endless 洗礼之后，Kamixlo 以初生蛮牛般的姿态闯入了伦敦的音乐场景。他也是在这场派对上遇到了 Endgame，另一位富有才华的当代 Dancehall 制作人，以及 Kamixlo 重要的合作伙伴。当时派对的氛围相当自由，两人都使用笔记本电脑混音，选曲也是相当随心所欲，从 Trap 说唱到 Dancehall，再到金属音乐，但是却给当时不少舞客带来了耳目一新的感觉，在英国传统的低音音乐以及四四拍派对里开拓出了一片新的天地。

After being immersed in a club night called Endless hosted by another music producer, Lexxi, Kamixlo burst into the London music scene with the vigor of a newborn bull. It was at this party that he met Endgame, another talented contemporary dancehall producer and an important collaborator for Kamixlo. The atmosphere at the party was quite free-spirited, with both of them mixing on laptops and selecting tracks on a whim, ranging from trap rap to dancehall and even metal. This refreshing blend provided a new experience for many dancers and carved out a new space within the traditional bass music and four-on-the-floor parties in the UK.

在此之后，他在业界上升的速度只能用“扶摇直上”一词形容：开始发行唱片、在世界各地的俱乐部巡演，成为时尚品牌的宠儿，以及歌曲被喜欢的 Aphex Twin 播放。也有媒体会略带调侃地描述他的柏林之行：“把布里克斯顿小公寓卧室里做出来的音乐，带到了最神圣的 Panorama Bar”。

Kamixlo 将自己形容成一个躲在布里克斯顿小巷里的害羞影子，他的音乐正是从这片街区中成长出来的，与他的家庭紧密相关。他的母亲于1973年因时局变化离开智利前往英国生活，最终定居在布里克斯顿生活至今。他描述这片街区最多的词是陌生感：“我们穿得不一样，发型也不同，Uli 总是化妆... 我们是局外人。”当地的快速发展造成的贫富冲突、种族主义焦虑等等问题也一直困扰着他们。所幸 Kamixlo 和 Uli K 的母亲相当开明；她允许儿子们辍学呆在家里，并一心一意地发展音乐爱好。这可能是造就 Kamixlo 反差的根本原因，温暖的家庭塑造他的良好性格，但并不友善的外部环境则催生出了一种破坏一切的反叛感。在他早期的演出上，曾有一位老手 DJ 建议他放弃那些“YouTube 上翻录下来的歌曲 Edit”，播放些音质更好的文件，但他选择忽视这一点。

Following this, his rise in the industry can only be described as meteoric: he began releasing records, touring clubs around the world, becoming a darling of fashion brands, and having his tracks played by none other than the admired Aphex Twin. Some media outlets humorously described his trip to Berlin as "taking the music created in his small Brixton apartment bedroom to the most sacred Panorama Bar."

Kamixlo describes himself as a shy shadow hiding in the alleys of Brixton, with his music growing out of this neighborhood and closely tied to his family. His mother left Chile in 1973 due to political changes and moved to the UK, eventually settling in Brixton, where she still lives today. He often uses the word "alienation" to describe the area: "We dress differently, our hairstyles are different, and Uli always wears makeup... we are outsiders." The rapid development in the area has led to conflicts over wealth, racial anxieties, and other ongoing issues that have troubled them. Fortunately, Kamixlo and Uli K’s mother is quite open-minded; she allowed her sons to drop out of school to stay home and focus on their musical pursuits. This may be the fundamental reason behind Kamixlo's contrasting nature—while a warm family shaped his good character, an unfriendly external environment fostered a rebellious spirit that seeks to disrupt everything. Early in his career, an experienced DJ once advised him to abandon the “YouTube edits” he was using and play higher-quality files, but he chose to ignore that advice.

在他们青春期的探索阶段，Uli K 一直以引路人的身份带领着 Kamixlo 前进。他会率先听一遍智利的表亲们推荐过来的音乐，然后再跟自己的兄弟分享。之后俩人还和朋友组成了乐队表演了一段时间，直到 Kamixlo 发现可以用 Reason 在电脑上制作音乐为止（他觉得这样更适合他的室内生活方式）。自此，Kamixlo 生活中的所有声音碎片聚合了起来，无论是家人喜爱的雷鬼音乐，智利表亲们爱听的 Linkin Park，又或者是满大街小巷都在播放的 Aqua《Barbie Girl》。另一个他在此时建立起的终身爱好是摔跤。Kamixlo 被 The Hardy Boyz 组合的狂野打扮所折服，因为他们把一种与众不同的美学带入了摔跤里。当 Jeff Hardy 顶着五颜六色的长发从20英尺高的梯子上跳下时，他同时也跳入了Kamixlo的心，让他无可救药地爱上了这项运动，并且不断地以此为灵感创作。破坏、乐趣和疯狂，这便是 Kamixlo 从摔跤中学到的最重要一课。

During their exploratory teenage years, Uli K led Kamixlo forward as a guiding figure. He would be the first to listen to music recommended by their cousins in Chile and then share it with his brother. The two of them even formed a band with friends and performed for a while, until Kamixlo discovered he could produce music on the computer using Reason, which suited his indoor lifestyle better. From that point on, all the sound fragments in Kamixlo's life came together, whether it was the reggae music loved by his family, Linkin Park favored by their Chilean cousins, or the ubiquitous "Barbie Girl" by Aqua playing in the streets. Another lifelong passion he developed during this time was wrestling. Kamixlo was captivated by the wild aesthetic of The Hardy Boyz, who brought a unique style to the sport. When Jeff Hardy leaped from a 20-foot ladder with his colorful hair, he also jumped into Kamixlo's heart, making him fall hopelessly in love with wrestling, which continuously inspired his creative work. Destruction, fun, and madness—these were the most important lessons Kamixlo learned from wrestling.

“每个人心里都有魔鬼的一面，也有天使的一面。”

这种不自觉的革新自然得到了音乐人们的欣赏。首当其冲的是先锋 Grime 音乐人 Visionist，2015年他邀请 Kamixlo 将《Paleta》拓展成了一张完整的EP《Demonico》，在他的音乐厂牌 CODES 下面发行，也由此开启了 Kamixlo 正式的制作人之旅，并且开始积极地和现在我们熟悉的一些音乐人，比如 Bladee、Palmistry、Catnapp 和 Dasychira 等人开始合作。

ENG➡️

Everyone has some demonic-ness in them, and they’ve got the angel in them too.

This unconscious innovation naturally garnered appreciation from musicians. Leading the charge was pioneering grime artist Visionist, who invited Kamixlo in 2015 to expand "Paleta" into a full EP titled "Demonico," released under his label CODES. This marked the beginning of Kamixlo's official journey as a producer, and he began collaborating with familiar names in the music scene, such as Bladee, Palmistry, Catnapp, and Dasychira.

在发行了几张 EP 之后，2020年他受 Bill Kouligas 之邀，在如今大名鼎鼎的实验音乐厂牌 PAN 下面接连推出了推出他的两张个人专辑《Cicatirz》和《DEATHWORK》，并且开始迈出拉丁音乐之外，做一些他自己感兴趣的探索。但是贯穿其中的主轴，仍然是响亮的鼓声和啸叫的声效，一直未曾改变。

ENG➡️

After releasing several EPs, in 2020 he was invited by Bill Kouligas to release two personal albums, "Cicatirz" and "DEATHWORK," under the now-renowned experimental music label PAN. He also began to explore interests beyond Latin music. However, the central theme remained unchanged, characterized by powerful drum beats and piercing sound effects.

而早在2013年，他与 Endgame 帮助音乐人 Katie Vick 共同成立了 Bala Club，一个从 Logo 到名字都向摔跤俱乐部 Bullet Club 致敬的品牌，活动范围包括发行唱片和举办俱乐部夜晚，以及同名的摔跤活动。对于初次接触到这个名字的人来说，Bala Club 所做的一切似乎和别的音乐厂牌别无二致；但只要稍加了解，就会知道 Bala Club 在近年来的俱乐部音乐场景中的地位根本无需多言。

ENG➡️

As early as 2013, he and Endgame helped musician Katie Vick establish Bala Club, a brand that pays homage to the wrestling club Bullet Club in both its logo and name. The activities of Bala Club include releasing records, hosting club nights, and organizing wrestling events of the same name. For those encountering the name for the first time, everything Bala Club does might seem indistinguishable from other music labels; however, a little understanding reveals that Bala Club's significance in the contemporary club music scene needs no further explanation.

它和瑞典的 Staycore、墨西哥 N.A.A.F.I 以及 Infinite Records 等厂牌一道被视为当代 Dancehall / Reggaeton 音乐的进化，一跃便进入未来的领域，声音更加暴力、直接，视觉设计也相当尖锐，以金属质感和抽象图案组成，充满“他界”的气息。这并非是对于少数族裔文化的挪用，而是把它融入信息时代之后得出的结晶。Kamixlo 和他的 Bala Club 通常也会被视作“解构俱乐部音乐（Deconstructed Club Music）”这一浪潮的组成部分，但他其实发自心底地抗拒这种说法。对于他来说，音乐事关自身表达，是身份的投射，更是一种纯粹出于取悦而生的东西：

“很多东西都属于俱乐部里播放的那种解构主义领域，它们很酷，但我觉得不太适合跳舞。我甚至不擅长跳舞，但它们的节奏感不强，所以我觉得把它们和解构主义的东西归为一类很奇怪。我一直只想制作一些吵闹、混乱但又有趣、适合跳舞的东西。我喜欢制作令人痛苦、吵闹的音乐，但我也想让它变得有趣。”

ENG➡️

Alongside labels like Sweden's Staycore, Mexico's N.A.A.F.I, and Infinite Records, it is seen as part of the evolution of contemporary dancehall/reggaeton music, making a leap into the future with a sound that is more aggressive and direct, accompanied by sharp visual designs composed of metallic textures and abstract patterns, radiating an air of "otherness." This is not an appropriation of minority cultures, but rather a synthesis that emerges in the post-information age. Kamixlo and his Bala Club are often regarded as part of the "Deconstructed Club Music" movement, but he fundamentally resists this label. For him, music is about self-expression, a projection of identity, and something that is purely born out of the desire to entertain:

“A lot of things belong to that deconstructivist realm played in clubs; they’re cool, but I don’t think they’re suitable for dancing. I’m not even good at dancing, but their rhythms aren’t strong, so I find it strange to categorize them as deconstructivist. I’ve always just wanted to create something loud, chaotic, yet fun, and suitable for dancing. I enjoy making painful, noisy music, but I also want it to be enjoyable.”
