DJ Python

DJ Python is the best-known alias of the Queens, NY-based DJ and musician Brian Piñeyro. A pillar of the Brooklyn/Queens based scene via a long-running residency at Nowadays and affiliation with Anthony Naples and Jenny Slattery's Incienso imprint, in recent years, Piñeyro has exploded into record stores, mixes and clubs around the world thanks to his innovative combination of deep house dynamics and latin rhythms. His last album, 2020's Mas Amable, was a downtempo epic garnering album of the year honors from Resident Advisor and Boomkat, and he's been on a tear since, dropping EPs like Club Sentimientos Vol. 2, a well-loved collab with Domino artist Ela Minus, a split with Nick León (with whom he hosts a Miami residency, suero) and records and mixes via his Perreo supergroup with Kelman Duran and Florentino, Sangre Nueva. In 2023, Python teamed up with ambient pop mainstay Ana Roxanne as Natural Wonder Beauty Concept for an album of moody, IDM-influenced pop songs and unusual instrumentals. That album, released by Mexican Summer, was again a mainstay on end-of-the-year list and led to live tours throughout Europe, the UK and North America.

In 2024, Python made his Essential Mix debut, debuting yet-to-be-released tracks and edits of the likes of Air, Alex G, Nina Simone and Autechre. Python also played the massive IICON stage at 2024's Glastonbury. In September, Pitchfork selected DJ Python's "Angel" as #54 on "The 100 Best Songs of the 2020s So Far."
