Welcome to Leyenda Radio where we bring you exclusive sets and recordings from the artists that played this year's Leyenda Del Corazon festival in Baja, MX. Our fourth episode is a study in ethereal, dynamic, and narrative sets. In the wee hours of Saturday morning, this set brought us all back to life.
It's Butterfly Catcher.
NEIL BLACK aka BUTTERFLY CATCHER IS A POSITIVE FORCE in the Southern California Electronic Music Scene. Heavily influenced by House & Breaks in the late-90's West Coast rave culture, Neil started to build a sound system that would specialize in these frequencies. Fast forward a decade, and Bomb Shelta Sound was organically building a name by sonically fortifying many legendary events in the San Diego area.
As the outdoor/campout event scene began to develop in the 2010s, Neil cofounded the production company Monarch Metamorphosis that would build custom staging, artistic props and provide cool lighting & effects. This lead to an opportunity to build a sound camp at San Diego's regional Burning Man decompression festival Youtopia. This was a huge creative space, and as the festival grew, Monarch tripled in size and became the main sound camp, with some legendary themes from 2016-2018. Back in San Diego, Monarch was also producing a series of events OHM Oscillating Head Music in their home town of Ocean Beach. Monarch collabed with In Da Hoody to produce the Prizm series of one room/ multi-genre live art events, and partnered up with Broken Beat on the It's A Vibe Bass music events. Monarch went on to procuce their own Spring campout event series Bug Out, with 4 annual events to date.
Throughout these events, Neil's Butterfly Catcher DJ project began to take shape. Focusing on the gentler, headier, melodic side of electronic music, Butterfly Catcher lifts up a dancefloor in the early hours, to help set the vibe off right, so it can spread its wings on a positive note. Butterfly Catcher is bringing some sonic soul to the So Cal scene, and putting smiles on the faces of a dancefloor near you.
