A rising star in Buenos Aires’ electronic scene, Sassyggirl is a bikini-sporting baddie with two-toned hair whose music is a potent distillation of the reggaeton, trap, cumbia villera, and techno spilling out of the city’s underground. Her songs also embody the  mutinous, carnal spirit of neoperreo, a reggaeton subgenre that foregrounds dissident bodies and queer desire; in Argentina, it’s been spearheaded by the HiedraH and Agva collectives. (Sassyggirl is a frequent fixture of their parties and mixes, having worked with founders Tayhana and El Plvybxy.) On her bratty 2022 song “Gotikeo,” she imbues neoperreo and Argentine trap with punkish wit, pulling us into the seedy corners of a club (“Me agarra de la mano, me lleva pal oscuro/Qué chula la nena, tiene la cartera llena”/“She takes me to the dark by the hand/Such a hot girl, her purse is full”) just to pass judgment on her fellow party animals (“La coca es pa las feas”/“Coke is for the ugly”).

Reggaeton beatmaker Sapphir22’s take on “Gotikeo,” which appears on a new remix EP, hotwires the song’s rhythmic structure. Other producers have reworked the track by accelerating the tempo, taking it closer to hardstyle; Sapphir22 does this too, but also deploys dark dembow patterns and distorted speech. Sassyggirl’s voice first resembles a robot, then a siren, and Sapphir22 intersperses her menacing bars with stuttering airhorns and gasps. The result is dense, capricious, and out-of-control, a showcase of the vast talent in Buenos Aires’ queer dance community.
