Get to know: Ambrxse

When I sat down with Ambrxse, I knew it was going to be more than just a typical interview. There’s an undeniable charisma that radiates from the guy, and once we got talking, it was clear that his passion for music runs as deep as his Latin heritage. What follows is a glimpse into our chat—a window into the world of a rising artist who’s unafraid to blend genres, break rules, and stay rooted in his family and culture

One of the first things Ambrxse made clear is that his musical influences are all over the place. From growing up on hip-hop legends like Eminem and Fabolous to jamming out to the Backstreet Boys, his early tastes were diverse, to say the least. It didn’t stop there, though. When he hit his teenage years, it was all about punk rock—bands like Green Day and Blink-182. I could tell that rebellious energy is something he still carries into his sets. He said it best:

"I learned early on to avoid strict rules when it comes to creating. It’s all about freedom."

But these days, it’s the likes of Gordo, Tale of Us, and artists mixing house with pop, like the Swedish House Mafia, that are getting him hyped. What makes them so special?

“They can step out of the box and defy expectations. And you can feel that same energy in his sets and productions. I don't care about fitting into one genre, and I'm proud of that”.

One thing that stood out during our chat was Ambrxse’s approach to DJing—it’s less about perfection and more about vibes. No rigid planning, no pre-arranged sets. He told me that before a gig, he’ll usually pick out around 100 tracks that he’s into at the moment and then feel it out as he goes. The flow, the mood of the crowd—it all dictates what he plays next.

"I could be in Peru one weekend and NYC the next, and every place has its energy," he said.

"You’ve got to adjust on the fly, get a feel for what people want, and then throw in your favor."

It’s a process that involves a lot of intuition, and for Ambrxse, it’s all about being in the moment. He loves pushing boundaries and taking risks mid-set. That’s where the magic happens.

Something I didn’t expect to hit so deeply in our conversation was how much his Latin heritage plays into his music. He quickly talked about how important his Peruvian roots are to him. Growing up, he was surrounded by Latin percussion sounds—his dad on the bongos, the family celebrating every occasion with music. Those rhythms echo in the back of his tracks today, especially through instruments like the cajón.

For Ambrxse, being Latin isn’t just about language or heritage; it’s about a sense of community and bringing that warmth and energy into his performances.

"People sometimes don’t even realize I’m Latin," he said, laughing.

"But Spanish was my first language, and that connection is always there."

The conversation took a more personal turn when he talked about his family’s support. Ambrxse lost his father at a young age, but his mother and older brother helped keep him grounded and focused. What’s cool is that even though his family didn’t necessarily follow the artistic path themselves, they’ve always stood by him, whether he decided to drop out of university to chase his dreams or play massive gigs abroad.

"They don’t have tattoos like me or anything, but they’re always cheering me on," he joked.

That kind of family support, especially in a career as unpredictable as music, is what keeps him going.

Despite his diverse background, Ambrxse doesn’t like to get pigeonholed. Yes, he’s proud of his roots, but he doesn’t see it as something that limits him musically. Right now, he’s collaborating with DJs and producers from Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, and more.

"House music doesn’t care where you’re from," he said.

"It’s a global thing. We’re all here for the love of the music."

That mindset has opened doors for him worldwide, and he’s not stopping anytime soon. He loves the idea of representing his culture while making music that connects with people from all walks of life.

When I asked him about the gigs that have stuck with him, he didn’t hesitate.

"Oh, man, the show at Orbital Club in Peru was something else, "The energy there was unreal", he said.

He also mentioned a six-hour marathon set in Guayaquil, Ecuador, where the crowd’s enthusiasm just didn’t die down. And, of course, playing Brooklyn Mirage and LIV Miami—two places that have become a second home for him.

"There’s something special about those nights where you just connect with the crowd on a deeper level. It’s like time freezes," he explained.

"Those are the moments where I feel like, okay, this is why I do this"

Miami holds a special place in Ambrxse’s heart. It’s where he got his start, and he credits the city for giving him the platform to grow as an artist. He recalled how local promoters and venues believed in him from the beginning, helping him build his career before he went global.

"Miami’s nightlife scene is like no other. It’s such a melting pot of cultures, and that diversity shaped me," he said.

And having a tight-knit group of friends who support him and spread his music? That’s just icing on the cake.

With a busy few months of touring, Ambrxse isn’t slowing down. He’s spent more time on the road than ever before, playing in countries he once only dreamed of visiting. But there’s still so much on his bucket list—Coachella, Circoloco, and collaborations with his longtime friends at Taraka are all in his sights.

But beyond the career milestones, what’s next for Ambrxse is simple:

"I just want to keep pushing myself, stay true to who I am, and share that journey with as many people as possible."

After my talk with Ambrxse, it’s clear that he’s not just another DJ. He’s someone who’s deeply connected to his roots, passionate about his craft, and unafraid to challenge conventions. Whether it’s through his spontaneous DJ sets, his love for his Peruvian heritage, or his vision for the future of house music, Ambrxse is someone who’s in it for the long haul.
