In Latin electrónica, DJ/Producer Mr. Pauer is considered a pioneer. He’s credited as the creator of "Electrópico", a fusion of electronic dance music with the sounds of Salsa, Zouk, Reggae, Cumbia, Dancehall, Merengue, and Kuduro. The result is a totally unique sound born in and of Miami culture — where Mr. Pauer has been shaping the scene from behind the decks for over twenty years.
He first received wider recognition for his debut album “Soundtrack”, which earned him a nomination for “Best Alternative Album” in the 2011 Latin Grammy Awards. A connoisseur, Mr. Pauer is an adept researcher of percussive rhythms from around the world.
We are thrilled to welcome Mr. Pauer back to KCRW for an exclusive guest mix on Metropolis.
KCRW’s Resident DJ is a sonic laboratory where artists are invited to reinvent, reimagine, and lean into their most eclectic, creative impulses. Resident DJ airs every Thursday night/Friday morning from midnight to 1 a.m. PT, and can be streamed anytime on the KCRW app. Just in time for Pride Month, Hercules & Love Affair will be our Resident DJ for June 2026.
