Simon Reynolds in conversation with Ramón Santillana

The music of the future

Querétaro 2025, 

After almost a decade of silence, Simon Reynolds (United Kingdom) is back with a very optimistic conclusion: that music has a future. If Retromania exposed the lack of innovation in the industry, on the other hand Futuromania maps the electronic soundscapes that are our present and future. From Kraftwerk to Daft Punk, via Giorgio Moroder, Arca and Travis Scott. In conversation with Ramón Santillana.
