The Beatportal Residency: XDM Records
From folkloric roots to global dance floors, XDM Records is leading a Latin club revolution.
For this week’s edition of The Beatportal Residency, we’re spotlighting a label that’s redefining what it means to make Latin music for the club. Founded in 2018, XDM Records has quickly built a name as one of the most forward-thinking imprints coming out of Mexico - blending traditional Latin American elements with modern electronic production to create a sound that’s both rooted and radical.
Whether through blistering edits, inventive remixes, or powerful originals, XDM’s catalogue is a celebration of culture, rhythm, and energy. At its core is a commitment to representation - not just in sound, but in who gets to shape dance floors around the world.
To mark their Beatportal Residency feature, XDM Records steps up with an exclusive mix that captures the full spectrum of their sound. Expect high-energy rhythms, chopped vocals, folkloric samples, and dancefloor pressure - all wrapped in the label’s unmistakable sonic fingerprint. It’s a set that’s both a love letter to Latin roots and a bold vision of where club music is heading.
A New Voice for Latin Club Music
XDM was launched with a clear mission: to deliver unique, high-quality music that reflects the diverse musical heritage of Latin America, while staying laser-focused on the dance floor. Over the years, the label has released an impressive range of tracks that fuse regional sounds like cumbia, mariachi, and tribal with modern genres such as tech house, minimal, and bass-heavy club cuts.
This dynamic approach has gained XDM an international audience and earned them a loyal following among DJs looking for tools that stand out in a set - and still hit hard.
Tools for DJs, Roots for the Culture
Alongside artist releases, XDM has also made waves with its popular DJ tool packs, such as the "A La Mexicana Edit Pack" and "Cupid Tools Vol. 2", offering producers and selectors a fresh
arsenal of Latin-inspired weapons. These packs reflect XDM’s DIY spirit and its focus on accessibility - giving artists from across Latin America (and beyond) the ability to share, remix, and build on each other’s work.
From deep SoundCloud digs to Beatport chart entries, XDM continues to expand its reach - without compromising its cultural identity.
