Aiwaska is the project from the mysterious producer with more than 20 years musical background. He has a hypnotic and spiritual sound, with organic chop elements. A perfect blend of Melodic House rhythm, with atmospheric bass lines and hypnotic vocals.
Who Is Music Producer Aiwaska, And Why Does He Wear A Mask?
Known for his signature mask, a gift from Peruvian shamans, he’s collaborated with icons like Egyptian Lover, Roland Clark, and Robert Owens, and delivered standout remixes for artists including Patrice Bäumel, Eelke Kleijn, Kino Todo, and Tensnake. His track “Live Tonight” featuring Roland Clark was considered for the Grammy for Best Dance/Electronic Recordings in 2023. With support from Black Coffee, Solomun, Adam Port, and ARTBAT, his music speaks across the global underground.
“When shamans make a ritual and go to a different reality, they put masks on,” Aiwaska explains. “These masks reflect who they are and because of that, spirits recognise you as one of them. You also see coins on [my] hat because when you go to the world of spirits, you give these coins to them as a gift.”
Aiwaska's New LP Flora Fauna: A Global Rise
The enigmatic producer is highlighting his decades of experience with his latest LP, Flora Fauna, which was released earlier this summer. This seven-track journey navigates through an evolving soundscape, exploring a fusion of deep, emotive House, Melodic House, and Indie Dance with his signature edge. Flora Fauna is crowned by the lead track, "Love to Hate," capturing Aiwaska's force perfectly, incorporating rolling basslines, crisp percussion, moody synths, and magnetic vocals from Aquarius Heaven that blur the line between singing and spoken word. It’s a late-night cut built for the underground, with all the hallmarks of Aiwaska’s rising presence on the global scene.

With praise from Mixmag and DJ Mag amplifying his reach, Flora Fauna promises to cement his place as one of electronic music’s most impactful figures.

Aiwaska's Musical Revelations Weedsday Playlist
For his Weedsday Playlist, Aiwaska selected music that provokes revelations: “This playlist is more than just a collection of favorite tracks. It’s a musical journal of my inner journey — a reflection of some of the most vivid and transformative moments in my life. These compositions have become portals, conduits to altered states of creativity. They helped me break free from conventional thinking, inspired bold ideas, spontaneous decisions, and unexpected discoveries.
Each track here carries an energy I absorbed from travel, conceptual encounters, or sudden epiphanies. They were with me in those rare moments when something greater would arrive — and I would begin to create without thought or control, simply allowing the current to flow through me. To put it simply, this is music that reconnects me to the Source. It awakens inner power and reminds me that creation is a sacred act of presence.”
Aphex Twin - "Windowlicker"
Aphex Twin, to me, is a revolution. This track — and the artist himself — shattered all boundaries I had about electronic music. After hearing it, I understood: there are no rules, no limits, no “shoulds” or “shouldn’ts.” There is only the flow — and if you can surrender to it, music becomes a form of pure madness and brilliance all at once. “Windowlicker” is irony, innovation, chaos, and drama. It embodies the full spectrum of human strangeness. Listening to it, I felt old mental structures collapse. This track dares you: don’t be afraid to be weird. Don’t be afraid to be yourself.

Ludovico Einaudi - "Elegy For The Arctic"
When I first saw this video, something inside me stopped. One man, a piano, and the endless Arctic wilderness. Silence, fragility, beauty, disappearance. Ludovico doesn’t just play music — he converses with space. This performance wasn’t only about sound — it was a prayer. A delicate, nearly invisible thread connecting human to planet, art to nature. It made me realize: music can speak even to those who’ve forgotten how to listen. It can awaken feelings buried under the noise of everyday life.

Tool - "Schism"
This was my first journey to Burning Man. I was riding a bike across the Playa, surrounded by dust and fire, exploring art installations, when I stumbled upon a massive art car shaped like an ancient ship. Tool’s album was playing through its speakers, and a crowd had gathered around it — a sea of people, transformed into a collective ocean of emotion. The music hit me not as mere sound, but as an experience — a revelation. It was a fusion of technical complexity and emotional depth that made me realize: music can mirror the structure of the universe itself. That moment changed the way I approached sound — how I understood the balance between chaos and order in the creative process.

Slipknot - "Duality"
My first live Slipknot concert felt like a ritual. When vocalist Corey Taylor began singing the intro a cappella, the entire venue fell silent. And then — as if on cue — thousands of voices joined him in unison. It was a moment of total unity. Not just a concert, but an act of collective magic. For the first time, I truly felt how music played from the heart becomes a force capable of shifting human energy.
Not through words — but through vibration. It was a pure expression of human connection.

Aiwaska Featuring JAW - "MadMan"
The inspiration for this track came to me in Tulum, amidst the ruins of an ancient civilization. There, where stones still breathe the memory of centuries, I suddenly heard a rhythm in my mind. It wasn’t just a place — it was a portal to another dimension. And that’s where “MadMan” was born. I felt the memory of the earth, the whisper of the jungle, and the spirits of the past begin to speak through me.This wasn’t just a song — it was a dialogue with something ancient, something that still lives within us.
This is how music becomes a bridge between eras.
