Boombox Cartel

Boombox Cartel is a Los Angeles-based DJ and production duo consisting of Americo Garcia, from Laredo, Texas, and Jorge Medina, from Monterrey, Mexico. The two met while attending high school in Monterrey and later relocated to St. Paul, Minnesota, to study audio engineering and music production at McNally Smith College of Music. After completing their studies they moved to Los Angeles, where the city's multicultural environment and interconnected music scenes provided the creative context for their debut release. Their 2015 self-released single 'B2U,' featuring vocalist Ian Everson, circulated immediately through electronic music networks and drew endorsements from Skrillex, Diplo, and Martin Garrix — three of the most commercially and critically influential figures in the global DJ market. That peer validation accelerated Boombox Cartel's trajectory from an independent act to a signed artist within a year of releasing their first track. They joined Mad Decent, Diplo's Los Angeles–based record label, in 2016. The Mad Decent roster had established itself as the home for bass music, hybrid trap, and genre-blending electronic production, and Boombox Cartel's arrival positioned them within a label ecosystem that included Major Lazer, Dillon Francis, and Flosstradamus — artists whose audiences overlapped directly with the festival trap and future bass markets Boombox Cartel was developing. Their debut EP, Cartel, released in 2017, introduced the tracks 'Alamo' and 'Jefe' — productions built around heavy bass structures, Latin percussion influences, and melodic trap progressions that translated their hometown border-culture backgrounds into a festival-electronic format. Their full-length album Diamond City followed in 2020, a record the duo described as a tribute to the city of Phoenix, Arizona, expanding their sonic palette while maintaining the hybrid trap and future bass foundations their audience had come to expect. Boombox Cartel has performed at Electric Daisy Carnival, Lollapalooza, and other major festival circuits, building a live performance reputation that carries into their Las Vegas residency at Marquee Nightclub and Marquee Dayclub at The Cosmopolitan. Marquee is the flagship venue of Tao Group Hospitality's Las Vegas nightclub and dayclub portfolio, operating in the heart of The Cosmopolitan casino floor, and its programming spans EDM, hip-hop, and bass music across its 60,000-square-foot space.
