Spanish DJs Belah Sánchez and Patricia “Pitty” Bernad had their own careers. But in 2021, they teamed up under the moniker Mestiza. Since then, the Spanish DJ and producer duo has been finding a growing fan base with its combination of electronic music with flamenco influences.
“We are the culture of flamenco mixed with the hypnotic energy of electronic music, creating a bridge between the ancestral and the futuristic,” their website says.In December 2023, Mestiza released the debut album Quëreles via their independent label Sacro Music, which also reimagined flamenco traditions through a club lens. In 2025, Mestiza became the first female DJ duo to get a residency at the Hï Ibiza club on the Spanish island known as a destination for electronic music lovers.
After playing Coachella earlier this year, this fall, the women behind Mestiza are bringing their high-energy act, as part of its Sacro event series, to New York, where they will rock the Brooklyn outdoor venue Creekside – Under The K Bridge, and London, where the duo will bring its sounds to the legendary Roundhouse in Camden on Oct. 30.
THR, in an email Q&A, asked Mestiza about the duo’s history, music and aesthetics, their respect for flamenco, which comes from Andalusia in southern Spain, and what’s next for them, including a possible cinema project.
