DJ Python

I Was Put On This Earth

XL Recordings • 2025

Back in 2020, at the start of the first lockdown, DJ Python released »Mas Amable«, a soft-focus, reggaeton-tinted soundtrack for a world on pause. The beats barely shifted; the pastel textures were like spring sun through gauze. Five years later, life moves faster—and the value of slowness is even greater.

On his new EP »i was put on this earth«, the New York producer expands his palette. »Marry Me Maia« is classic Python: gentle chords, emotive vocals, wistful haze. »Dai Buki« leans into Salamanda-esque baby-voiced ambient until UK rapper Jawnino brings a dose of bleakness. The standout is »Besos Robados«, where Isabella Lovestory delivers sticky-sweet bars over an ultra-tactile beat. Pop and downtempo melt into a thick, hypnotic blend. The closer, »Elio’s Lived Behind My House Forever«, floats away as a featherlight instrumental—a moment of calm after all the shapeshifting virtuosity.
