For proof that dance music is now a truly global affair, you need look no further than Guatemalan DJ Carl Nunes, who’s found fame and fortune — and thousands of fans — across the world with dozens of gigs in China, India and Indonesia in 2017 as part of his Limitless Tour, alongside shows in Vegas, Mexico and riotous homecoming gigs in Latin America.

“Apart from producing and collaborating with other artists, I have been learning from other cultures,” says Nunes. One look at his social media accounts confirms that, he’s a man immersed in global culture — from walking the Great Wall of China to the back streets of Bali and Hong Kong, he’s made an effort to see beyond the club scene on his travels.

But when he’s behind the decks and creating in his studio, his music speaks the universal dancefloor language. “I’ve been trying to absorb and assimilate as much as possible, creating my own mix-match of concepts and perceptions of the world,” Nunes tells DJ Mag. The results have been impressive, with Armada releasing his tropical hit ‘White Dress’ earlier in the year, a more chilled counter-point to more well-known earlier releases like ‘Out Of My Mind’.
