The origins of electronic music in Chile can be found as far back as 1958, when physicist Werner Meyer-Eppler visited Chile. As a result of his visit, experimentation with electronic music gained support from the scientific community and an electronic music laboratory was established.
In 1959, Jose Visencio Asuar published a thesis entitled "Generación mecánica y electrónica del sonido musical" (Mechanical and Electronic Generation of Musical Sound), and to demonstrate his thesis he composed "Variaciones espectrales" (Spectral Variations), the first piece of electronic music in Chile.
In 1966, at the Universidad Católica, Samuel Claro released his second electronic music album, Estudio N°1.
Asuar released Estudio Aletorio in 1962 and Ambientes Sonoros in 1967. Both records were released in Germany (Karlsruhe) and Venezuela (Caracas).
In 1968, Tomás Lefever composed 19 electronic tracks and released Klesis, a compilation album containing works by Amenábar and Asuar.[1]
It is not clear when exactly the electronic music movement as it is known today reached Chile. At the beginning of the 1990s a small underground movement had emerged, with DJs such as Cristian Vogel, Ricardo Villalobos, Matías Aguayo and Sergio Orrego, the opening of the specialist store Background, and small scale events like “Barracudas” in 1992, “Corriente Alterna” (1993), “Distrito Distinto” (1993), “Background” (1994), “Avanzada multimedia” (1994), “Frontera Final” (1995) and “Spandex Parties” taking place through the 1990s. However, most commentators see the true birth of electronica in Chile at the Alacran Peninsula in the city of Arica, in an event that took place during the solar eclipse of November 1994.[2]
The solar eclipse took place on November 3, 1994, with excellent views available in northern Chilean cities such as Arica, drawing astronomers from around the world to observe the rare phenomenon in the area’s uniquely clear skies. A group of electronica fans and DJs decided to use the eerie eclipse landscape as a backdrop to host Chile's first rave.[3] The event was sponsored by the German clothing manufacturer Pash and took place outdoors in the Scorpion Peninsula, opposite to the historic Morro de Arica. Ravers could observe the eclipse and wait for its shadow to pass, with electronic music as a soundtrack. DJs who took part in the rave included John Acquaviva, Richie Hawtin, Ricardo Villalobos, Derrick May, Pascal, Siddhartha and Adrian.
Though it was a small event, the Alacran rave has gained near legendary status in Chile and has become a landmark in the country's electronic scene.[4] Since then, the scene has grown fast and massive events have taken place in many of Chile's major cities,[5] including “C[C2] reamfields”, “Sensation White” (a spin-off from Amsterdam’s “Sensation”), and Ultra Music, an event that first appeared in Miami.
The International Society for Chilean Music (SIMUC) has a podcast called MEC[6] dedicated exclusively to Chilean electronic music. The first episode was aired on September 30, 2016.

Daniel Nieto is a Chilean electronic music producer, engineer, and visual artist born in Santiago, Chile. He is known for his solo work under the name "Danieto" as well as for his role as a member of the group Skipsapiens, along with Pier Bucci. Daniel Nieto began his career in the late 1990s, influenced by the intelligent dance music movement in the UK. Daniel is also one of the founders of the netlabel Impar.
Under the name "ADN" (Spanish for DNA), Daniel released his first album "Granel" in 2000, as well as the EP "Hormiga", produced by the Chilean label Ojo de Apollo. That same year some of his tracks appeared on the compilation "CODA.05", and later, in 2002, he contributed two tracks to the Ojo de Apollo compilation "CODA.09".
In 2001 Skipsapiens released the eponymous album "Skipsapiens" under the Belgian label "U-Cover". More recently, the same label released the CD "Evolución al Origen" on a limited release of only 95 copies, comprising seven of Daniel's best tracks recorded between 1999 and 2003.
Daniel also took part in two re-mixed albums: “Re'Processed – Interkontinentale Remixe” by “Process” (Steve Gary Barnes), a 2002 12” vinyl for the German label “Traum”; and "Re-mixed, Re-worked, Re-constructed and Re-invented Part One"[4] for the Belgian label U-Cover, also in 2002.
In 2004, Daniel and his business partner Claudio Cisterna won funding from the Chilean governmental program (Fondart) to finance his project for a netlabel. With this funding they created "Impar", a netlabel that promotes experimental electronic music and new artists, offers free downloads, and hosts many of Danieto's tracks in the Impar music library available to download free.
In 2005, Daniel released his first LP, "Cirugía Casual", under the label U-Cover, and, with Pier Bucci as Skipsapiens, released "Skipsapiens-eco" under the label Mutek. He also remixed Hans Carstens' track "Compacto (pn003)" for the label Pueblo Nuevo and that same year performed in Mexico City, Montreal, and Valparaíso, Chile

Since then, most of his albums have been released under Impar, his own label.

In 2005, Daniel released his first offial LP, "Cirugía Casual", under the label U-Cover. On this album Danieto presents 12 unreleased tracks of dubby rhythms, high tech constructions, heavy bass, IDM melodies, bleeps, piano, warm electronic textures all wrapped in a very personal style. Although this music has some reminiscence of the style of labels like Force Tracks or Scape, but also Toytronic or Skam, Danieto succeeds in presenting a quite unique and creative style that goes far beyond these influences. His music is directed to something more abstract, with sounds and harmonies that are alienating and subtle at the same time, generated with particular synthesis algorithms and self-designed sound effects that result in an incomparable sound. His music is characterized by minimal patrons with soft textures, warm harmonies and soundscapes that contrast with strong beats and very subtle and fine sounds. Fans of Deadbeat, Luciano, Pole and Gimmik will for sure enjoy this excellent release.

Originally released in 2005. The Mutek organization has played an instrumental role in exposing the undermined and vastly talented collective of South American electronic producers to the world at large. This release is from Chilean acolytes Pier Bucci and Daniel Nieto, aka Skipsapiens. As a solo artist, Pier Bucci has become somewhat of an elder statesman on the Chilean electronics circuit. He began his producing career seven years ago with a track on the Austral compilation on Chilean label Ruta 5, and has gone on to release work on the Background, WMF, and Peacefrog labels, to name a few. He is also a member of the Chilean outfit Mambotur. Daniel Nieto (aka Danieto) has been experimenting with bits and beats since the late '90s, and his debut employs dubby rhythms, high tech constructions, heavy bass, IDM melodies, bleeps, piano and warm electronic textures all wrapped in a very personal style. Eco is an album that showcases the growth and development of what both producers are capable of doing, given the right time and the proper audiences. Chilean electronic music has learned lessons from Berlin, but what it knows it filters through the heat, passion, and fatalism of South American history. If you're a fan of Ricardo Villalobos or Atom Heart, then Skipsapiens belong in your record collection.

Matias Aguayo offers up another slab of his unique vision of house and techno with AY AY AY. Aguayo doesn’t fall into any easy categorizations: “Menta Latte” is all a cappella beatbox, and yet with a deepness and a fullness that you wouldn’t expect. An actual bass provides the deepness of "Ritmo Tres," though Aguayo's vocals percussion remains in full-effect. The "Rollerskate" manages to be funky and bizarre at the same time -- no mean feat. The vocals border on the meaninglss, but deep lyrical content isn't the focus here. As well, Aguayo isn’t the most accomplished vocalist -- his preferred mode seems to be bilingual talk-sing -- but his attention to the groove is undeniable. The wooden xylophone of "Desde Rusia" also shows his embrace of different textures and sounds (even if "Ritmo Juarez" sounds a bit more chaotic than necessary). "Koro Koro," for instance moves into Africa with a Ladysmith Black Mambazo feel, while "Ay Shit" goes into a dirty funk. The final track, "Juanita," has the suggestion of a melodeum floating into it, but it's the thump that really gets you going. A wonderfully off-kilter album.

He is also a member of the Chilean outfit Mambotur. Daniel Nieto (aka Danieto) has been experimenting with bits and beats since the late '90s, and his debut employs dubby rhythms, high tech constructions, heavy bass, IDM melodies, bleeps, piano and warm electronic textures all wrapped in a very personal style. Eco is an album that showcases the growth and development of what both producers are capable of doing, given the right time and the proper audiences. Chilean electronic music has learned lessons from Berlin, but what it knows it filters through the heat, passion, and fatalism of South American history. If you're a fan of Ricardo Villalobos or Atom Heart, then Skipsapiens belong in your record collection.

Matias Aguayo offers up another slab of his unique vision of house and techno with AY AY AY. Aguayo doesn’t fall into any easy categorizations: “Menta Latte” is all a cappella beatbox, and yet with a deepness and a fullness that you wouldn’t expect. An actual bass provides the deepness of "Ritmo Tres," though Aguayo's vocals percussion remains in full-effect. The "Rollerskate" manages to be funky and bizarre at the same time -- no mean feat. The vocals border on the meaninglss, but deep lyrical content isn't the focus here. As well, Aguayo isn’t the most accomplished vocalist -- his preferred mode seems to be bilingual talk-sing -- but his attention to the groove is undeniable. The wooden xylophone of "Desde Rusia" also shows his embrace of different textures and sounds (even if "Ritmo Juarez" sounds a bit more chaotic than necessary). "Koro Koro," for instance moves into Africa with a Ladysmith Black Mambazo feel, while "Ay Shit" goes into a dirty funk. The final track, "Juanita," has the suggestion of a melodeum floating into it, but it's the thump that really gets you going. A wonderfully off-kilter album.
