Presented by Resident Advisor x SXSW
Debit at Coconut Club
As a DJ, her selections burn the unmistakable swing of Latin club music into ironclad techno frameworks, and as a producer and composer, she drifts seamlessly from avant-garde and drone modes into vernacular dance music without hesitation. It was her permanent move to New York City in 2013, where she traded the synth rig for a USB, DJing regularly in the local dance scene and establishing the Debit moniker. Her debut album "Animus" was released in 2018 and wove pneumatic club sounds with melancholy ambience, receiving acclaim from FACT, Resident Advisor and Noisey. While she was studying a graduate degree in Music Technology at NYU, Beatriz assembled her most defining statement to date, "System". This EP solidified the duality of her unique approach, was universally acclaimed, and placed prominently on year end lists at FACT, Pitchfork and Resident Advisor. In 2022, Beatriz released her sophomore album "The Long Count", an ambitious electro-acoustic tome that delves into the past to peer into the future. The album was placed in best album of the month and end of the year at Resident Advisor, Mix Mag, Dj Mag, while being ranked 3rd best global album of the year at the Guardian.
