not the animal is a Uruguayan-born DJ of Turkish descent, based in Guadalajara, Mexico, playing progressive, indie and melodic house with a drummer's sense of rhythm.
Music that is precise but warm, built to be felt as much as followed.
Born in Uruguay, of Turkish descent, not the animal has lived in Guadalajara, Mexico, since 2014. It is where he learned the drums and then the decks: first rhythm played by hand, then rhythm journeys.
For years he was the goalkeeper of Uruguay's national blind football team, the one player whose job is to guide the others: calling positions, setting the line, keeping a team calm under pressure. The passion and drive that took him there now go into every set. Away from the decks, he is a software engineer.
His sets move through progressive, indie and melodic house without settling in one place. They carry two things that rarely share a room: the discipline of years in sport and engineering, and the openness of a personal journey through spiritual and healing practice. The result is music that is precise but warm, built to be felt as much as followed.
