El Perro del Mar is merely an extension of me that enables me to do and say the things which I find hard to express in daily life. I’ve been using the name since 2004 when I came across a stray dog on a Spanish beach...
It's three of my characters, Enth, Ila, and Izi, trying to figure out where they are through a fog in the middle of nowhere...
It’s a lot to ask nowadays, but we’d love for people to listen to the record as a whole since we made it with the intention of flowing like in full from start to finish.
I think more than anything, me making music came purely from expression. All growing up I was definitely not an artist or anything like that. It was more of a recent thing...
I wanted it to feel like acceptance. Saying acceptance makes it feel a bit stiff, when really the vibe is like, f*** yeah everybody, hell yeah, and if you can’t get down with this, f*** off...

Obviously, it is much easier to keep in touch, exchange files and information. But nothing compares to the real organic work. That’s where the magic begins and it’s impossible to achieve it through the synthetic connection. Especially when the music is spontaneous and interactive...

My spiritual practice and my musical practice are intertwined at this point. It’s completely natural for me to be an artist merged with my spiritual inner world, but I’m just now attempting to communicate publicly about it...
Nile has credits on Daft Punk's 'Get Lucky,' Madonna's 'Like a Virgin,' and 'Let's Dance,' by David Bowie, which doesn't even scratch the surface of his thousands of credits...
I took inspiration from the somewhat schizophrenic yet entertaining behavior of a few cats I've owned who purr for attention and then sink their teeth into you without reason or warning.
