Disritmia

Disritmia, released in 2013, is the eleventh studio album by Daniel Melero, a pioneer of experimental rock and electronic music in Argentina. The record emerged after a period of reflection, as the musician aimed to fuse digital rhythms with a dark pop sensibility and introspective lyrics. It was recorded in his personal studio in Buenos Aires, exploring synthetic textures and a minimalist yet dense production.

The album is defined by its hypnotic atmosphere, using loops, analog synthesizers, and processed vocals to break away from conventional structures. Melero conceived Disritmia as a critique of contemporary acceleration, with the title alluding to the loss of a natural pulse in modern life. Songs like Frecuencia and El Tiempo Ahora reflect this tension between the organic and the mechanical.

Though it did not achieve massive commercial success, Disritmia was praised by specialized critics for its sonic coherence and avant-garde proposal within Buenos Aires’ underground scene. The album solidified Melero as a reference in Argentine electronic music, influencing later artists exploring the fusion of rock and synthesizers. Its legacy endures as a key work of Latin American experimentalism in the 2010s.
