In 2010 he founded 401.mx the first Mexican site specialized in promoting and promoting latin american electronic music in a formal and constant way, with the aim of positioning the latin scene on a global scale.In his production, lao works with recontextualized classical sounds interwoven with local sounds to create avant-garde dance pieces that rethink their identity. He is a member of the naafi label, and head of the label Extasis Records. He was part of the 2014 generation of red bull music academy, based in japan. In 2015, lao made his first european tour with 11 dates in 6 countries, culminating with his presentation at the sonar 2015 festival in Barcelona.
NAAFI works in the context of Mexico and wider Latin America, with its multi-layered heritage of indigenous cultures, European colonisers, enslaved Africans as well as later immigrants from elsewhere. The problematic collective identity formation by generations of erasure of roots, conditioning internalised Eurocentrism, oppressive gender roles and class identities, fed and aggravated by the exploitative, destabilising influence of the United States, has created a unique leitmotiv in Latin American counterculture, where these conflicting realities manifest in the form of the surreal and ambiguous. This element comes back in much of what makes NAAFI’s style so powerful and meaningful in today’s rapidly changing world.
