Imbue

Imbue consists of guitarist Eduardo Alvarez, pianist Ignacio Vallejo, and audio engineer Maximiliano Cortes. Based in Miami, Florida, these three childhood friends have crafted a unique interpretation of electronic music with original guitar and piano instrumentation superimposed over drum machine grooves and bass lines. Their live performances feature a hybrid of live electric guitar and synthesizer improvisation over a continuous DJ set, including both vinyl and digital mixing.

The trio launched their self-titled label in 2017 with their vinyl-only debut, “Imbue” . Seven official EPs have been released under that imprint: “Abstractions” , “Of Time and Actuality” , “Within the Gaze” , “V” , “Bloom” & “Tides” . Three of their vinyl EP’s reached #1 on the Decks.de and Deejay.de charts. The success of these records helped them land features on the labels Telum , Retrospect , SISU , Personality Disorder , and Lisa’s Kickback , amongst others. Lisa’s Kickback subsequently released a remix of their track “Don Carter’s” by Berlin based producer Afriqua: Imbue – Don Carter’s (Afriqua’s Durocell Bass Mix) .

Summer of 2023 saw a shift in the group’s releases, opting for digital singles with their IMBX series: “The Funk” , “Overdrive” , and “Big Sky” .

Imbue have headlined shows in Miami, Atlanta, Portland and the Dominican Republic, and have opened for the likes of Traumer, Gene on Earth, Shonky, Raresh, Alci, Sepp & Nu Zau, SIT and more, both in Miami and in Berlin’s Club der Visionaere.
