Brayan Valenzuela

Mi Pez Murió Anoche

Detroit Underground • 2025

With Mi Pez Murió Anoche, Brayan Valenzuela dives deep into his electronic world — and immediately pulls you along with him. Across eight tracks, the album flickers between introspection and motion, between overt physicality and moments that invite stillness. It’s music for sweat-drenched nights, but also for the in-between hours — when you’re no longer sure where your feet are taking you, when exhaustion has sunk so deep into your bones that you begin to feel almost weightless.

Based in Warsaw and releasing through Detroit Underground, Valenzuela stretches the limits of his sound on this debut album. Where harder techno edges once dominated, a space now opens up — full of broken rhythms, breakbeat glimmer and near-intergalactic expanses. At times you glide weightlessly; at others, you stumble over unpredictable turns — and it’s precisely this tension that gives the album its allure.

Tracks like »Rav« and »Ping Pong« still reach for the dancefloor, while »All I Need Is Peace« and »Nancy, She Become a Groupie« drift into a quieter, almost fragile zone. Despite its stylistic breadth, the record feels cohesive, remaining true to Valenzuela’s narrative, searching and restless style. Mi Pez Murió Anoche doesn’t tell a linear story but traces a movement — from the body inward and back again. When the bass finally fades, something open and weightless lingers. Like a final thought still hanging in the air.
