To mark the upcoming release of El Mono, Sixtoagusto shares a Top Ten that offers a clear window into the music, records, and ideas that shape his world. Based in Monterrey, Mexico, Jonathan Moreno approaches electronic music through repetition, instinct, and physical response, building tracks that feel meant for long nights and slow shifts on the dancefloor.
Across his recent conversation with us, Sixtoagusto spoke openly about working from instinct rather than concept, about imagining place and emotion before structure, and about seeing the body as something that moves forward in one continuous line. That way of thinking carries through both his productions and his DJ selections. These are not tracks chosen for trends or easy payoff. They are records that stay with him in clubs, in live sets, and during late studio hours.
This 10-track selection reflects his relationship with analog sound, collaboration, and tension. From raw basslines and looping grooves to voices treated as texture rather than lead, each selection connects to the mindset behind El Mono, a record that grew slowly over time until it became clear it needed space to exist as a full album rather than a short statement.
Sixtoagusto’s ‘El Mono’ is available for pre-order via Satellite Records here.

“I really loved the analog feel of this track and the collaboration between these two artists. The vocals make me feel like I am listening to a band rather than a club track.”

“From the first time I heard it in a club, the truck like sound design and the heavy bass grabbed me immediately.”

“One of my favorites. The intro, the voice, and the bass feel joyful, perfect for introducing a sunrise moment.”

“I always include this one when I am selecting. It makes me feel like the hi hats are like a swarm moving around my ears.”
05. Moscoman, Dévoué, Manfredas Remix

“Ideal for starting a set at a lower BPM, while still keeping that guitar riff that feels very raw, like metal scraping against metal.”
06. Rous, Silencio Carmesi

“The main bass loop pulls you in, and the second synth bass with delay ties everything together. This is exactly the kind of track I use in my live sets.”
07. DJs Pareja and Alexandro Paz, Cógeme

“I really like this track for its Latin groove, the collaboration, and its sensual, playful vocal. It always works very well.”

“Another very strong collaboration. Kevin’s vocal with the French duo works great. Even though it is faster than the others here, I enjoyed it a lot when I played it.”
09. Daniel Maloso and Red Axes, En La Oscuridad

“For me, this track does not overdo anything. I love the lyrics, and Daniel is one of my favorite producers from my city, so it had to be in my Top Ten.”
10. Jac the Disco, Cosmic Matter

“To close, a slightly more disco track. A looser bassline, shorter strings, and an atmosphere that builds subtly across the track.”
