Based in The Bronx in New York State, Lokixximo is an artist who draws on his Dominican heritage to craft his own style of Latin pop music. Linking with his producer Co Piloto Da La Orden, they blend Guaracha house with a pop-focused approach to deliver infectiously catchy sound brimming with poignant lyrical writing.
Over his enduring and decorated musical journey, he’s dropped multiple well-received releases. First unveiling his sound back in 2009, he linked with Dj Mesta on the debut single “Noche Europea” which he’s since followed up with a string of well-received singles and records while linking up with artists such as Luis Anthony, Nitido Nintendo, Jose Josexx, Phaeda, T Weaponz, Finom and Angel Mr Swagg for collaborative tracks along the way.
Most recently, he dropped his highly anticipated new record, the nine-track album titled Hijo de Nena, showcasing his sonic versatility across a range of different styles. Bringing us the lead single from the LP, he shares the brand new track titled “Hoy me Levante,” a bright and danceable jam that offers the perfect taste of the latest chapter of his musical journey.
Brought in by vibrant brass tones and soft vocal elements as the flutter of keys adds dashes of colour to the mix, the energy builds as the pip of sirens kicks off an instantly grooving sound. With the patter of shuffling drums and smooth vocal touches, Lokixximo sets up a playful sound of danceable Latin pop music.
Dropping down the arrangement, his lead vocals glide in to thread slick flows carrying lyrics in Spanish as the colourful arrangement wraps around his voice. The perfect blend of irresistible rhythm and infectious vocal hooks, “Hoy me Levante” serves up a memorable jam that’s sure to get listeners moving and grooving around the world.
Showcasing his catchy songwriting, superb vocal panache and knack for crafting engaging instrumental arrangement wrapped up in stellar production, Lokixximo is an upbeat and catchy outing that’s impossible not to love. As he continues to ride the success of his latest album, we can’t wait to see what else he’s got in store for the rest of 2024 and beyond.
Commenting on his new album, he shares, “I believe this album sonically we pushing the Latin genre forward, you can press play and just listen to the whole album without skipping a song, I made sure there’s something for everybody in Hijo de Nena, I never experimented with doing Merengue on “Me Libere” it almost felt like an experiment, that’s what i believe music is about just taking risks, this album is the best work I’ve ever done, very proud.”
