KinAhau Leans Into Raw, Reflexive Spirit of Jam Session With Cole Terrazas on Tactile and Hypnotic Deep House Offering ‘Los Angeles Freestyle’ via Factory 93 Records

Mexico-born, LA–based producer KinAhau is gearing up for his label debut on Factory 93 Records, taking the form of his potent two-track offering ‘Los Angeles Freestyle.’ Enlisting the talents of emerging house artist Cole Terrazas on the lead cut, the release channels the raw, reflexive spirit of a jam session into something tactile, hypnotic, and unmistakably human.

The title cut, “Los Angeles Freestyle,” is a collaboration with Cole Terrazas, a fledgling US-based producer whose first release was picked up by London’s lauded groove specialist, SOSA. Deep, rhythmic patterns provide a vibrant backdrop for the track’s dazed-out arrangement. It hacks the central nervous system with layers of muttered vocal fragments, meowing synth trills, droning LFO swells, viscous acid filaments, and tight, circular drum loops that coil into a kind of groovy, modern psychedelia.

On the backside, KinAhau emerges from the shadows of his synapse-twisting collab to explore something more restrained through his solo offering. “Hate to Hurt u, but I Hurt Too” strips itself down to take on the shape of a deep house creation carrying a sense of post-party clarity that’s sobering and introspective. The soft shimmer of its languid synth lines blend with detuned chords and delicate, bubbling basslines, resulting in a piece that shifts the focus away from the mind—compared to its trippy counterpart—allowing him to explore a more emotional expanse of his craftsmanship.

“We had a lot of inspiration,” KinAhau says. “We pulled something out of our bag and even if people don’t understand it the way we do, we had to bring that back. We’re not expecting anything from anyone—no one needs to love us—we just want to see someone move. Have you ever gone system overload? That’s what she did to us. We were way too high in the corner, and that might seem strange but that doesn’t matter to us. We push the gas. We’re not your average Joe.”

Born in Cancún and rooted in Mayan heritage, KinAhau has become one of the most distinctive new voices holding space in the global house scene. His astronomical rise borders on myth: sneakily handing Michael Bibi a USB loaded up with IDs, and then hearing those tracks spread like wildfire across festival stages around the world. That momentum carried him from complete anonymity to a high value player within the club circuit—appearing at prestigious stages from the likes of DC-10, Fabric London, Space Miami, and Mayan Warrior in both Istanbul and Mexico. He has appeared alongside Luciano, Dennis Cruz, Damian Lazarus, and DJ Tennis, while earning radio support from BBC Radio 1 tastemakers Pete Tong, Sarah Story, and Danny Howard. Recent collaborations with Beltran (BR), Kohmi, and a remix for label regular Airrica, have positioned him to embark on his first nationwide tour, including stops at Factory Basel, Club Space Miami, Decadence NYE, and Stereo Montreal. In between his stint of shows from Miami to Madrid, KinAhau is planning to touch down in Los Angeles for a secret release pop-up party at a record shop in the heart of DTLA.

‘Los Angeles Freestyle’ is a remarkable Factory 93 Records debut, highlighting one of Mexico’s most promising producers. Across these two new tracks, KinAhau leans deeper into his ethos: music as a ritual, an opportunity for mind-expansion and spirit enhancement that vastly outweighs the fodder of strictly club-centric output.

KinAhau’s new two-tracker ‘Los Angeles Freestyle’ is available on all platforms via Factory 93 Records.
