Nightlife meets wildlife: the albums mixing birdsong and techno beats

A Bogota nightclub has used the sounds of animals and birds in the Colombian capital to make a new kind of dance track

Stuck inside and unable to hit the dancefloor, many of the regulars at the electronic dance nights at Bogota's popular nightclub Kaputt found themselves missing the clubbing community when they were forced into lockdown by Covid-19. But then came a rallying cry from DJs Jorge Pizarro and Felipe Rodriguez: start recording the sounds from your window".

Now the results of that callout are reaching a global audience, with a set of albums blending the sounds of animals and birds in the Colombian capital with techno beats available for streaming.
