Hometown: Mexico City
Tags: indie, alternative, psychodelic

In 2006 Diego composed and co-produced the critically acclaimed “Greatest Hits” with Los Dynamite, an album that allowed them to play for 4 years all over Mexico and the US, touring with Zoe in the Rockampeonato Telcel Tour as well as to share stages with the likes of Interpol, Bloc Party, The Killers and Fat Boy Slim.
After ending his cycle with Los Dynamite Diego started writing the songs that w

ould end up creating Rey Pila, the self-titled, solo album recorded in October 2009 at the New York studio of producer/engineer Paul Majahan (TV On The Radio, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Liars). Ranging from psychedelia to Detroit’s old sound of Motown Rey Pila holds 10 precious tracks (6 of them in English, 4 of them in Spanish) with huge choruses, squalling dissonance and sheets of twinkling electronic ambience all of them composed and co-produced by Diego.

    mySpoonful on Rey Pila

    over 1 year ago

    This bilingual indie dance quartet answers the question that no doubt lingers in the mind of every music fan: “What would it sound like if David Bowie was the lead singer of Depeche Mode and sang half of his songs in Spanish?” The answer, thankfully is that it would sound phenomenal, and Rey Pila delivers, weaving funk and electronica into tunes that you will be unable to get out of your head, maybe ever. Far from being superficial, they effortlessly slide between peppy and melancholic, wistful and romantic, giving a perfectly balanced album. But even in the more thoughtful songs, their sound drips with adrenaline, making the whole track list unquestionably fun. more at myspoonful.com
