Akumandra founder, Sainte Vie, headlines Audio on Friday, November 1st brought to you by Safra. Sainte Vie (Pablo Piña, born in Mexico City in 1994) is an electronic music producer, sound engineer, and label owner based in Miami. His style is primarily characterized as melodic techno but blends many genres of electronic and world music to create an eclectic, energetic, and deeply emotional sound. As a teenager growing up in Mexico City, Pablo became enamored with the city’s vibrant rock and alt-rock scene and, at the age of thirteen, founded a rock band called Polar. Pablo disbanded Polar after moving to France to finish high school where he first fell in love with electronic music and its endless possibilities. After France, he moved to New York City to pursue a degree in sound design and sound engineering. Upon graduating, Pablo launched his career as Sainte Vie releasing his first original productions and remixes. His releases have accrued millions of Spotify, YouTube, and SoundCloud plays. He has also topped Beatport charts in the melodic techno and organic house genres. He has released three EPs and several singles, remixes, and collabs. His most acclaimed releases have been his single Cenote; his track High Seas from his second EP, From Desolate Places and Forgotten Times; his remix of NTO’s track, Loving You Like Always, that features vocals from Tricky (an early member of Massive Attack); and his track Hibernation, produced in collaboration with WhoMadeWho. Besides these collaborations, Sainte Vie has also worked with artists like Acid Pauli, Sam Shure, and Aalson. Sainte Vie has also released recordings of his live sets, some of which have been important milestones of his career. Notably his Mayan Warrior X Robot Heart Tie Up live set at Burning Man 2019; his Turmbühne live set at Fusion Festival 2022; and his Robot Heart Sunrise live set at Burning Man 2022.
