about

PHRAN & DNGDNGDNG present: SONIDO UNDERGROUND
Planta Baja Vol. 1

The Noise was a groundbreaking Puerto Rican collective of DJs, rappers, and producers who helped define the island’s underground scene in the mid-1990s. Named after the San Juan club where they performed, the crew included early pioneers like Baby Rasta & Gringo, DJ Negro, Ivy Queen, Don Chezina, Las Guanábanas, and a young Daddy Yankee.

At The Noise, MCs traded verses in fierce rap battles over raw dancehall and hip-hop beats crafted by DJs like Playero and Nelson. The connection between Jamaica, Panama (where early reggae en español took root), New York (with its massive Puerto Rican and Dominican diasporas), and San Juan materialized in a sound that was loud, rebellious, and distinctly Caribbean. Pre-Auto-Tune, off-key choruses, explicit lyrics, and infectious dembow rhythms gave birth to a movement.

By the time The Noise Live dropped in 1996, the sound had taken on a life of its own and had become what many called tumpa-tumpa: not just a rhythm, but a way of life. Alongside other foundational figures like El Chombo and DJ Playero, The Noise laid the groundwork for what would later become reggaetón.

This project revisits that raw era, reimagining it through the lens of rave culture and the global bass continuum. It blends early reggaetón’s urgency with the textures of jungle, dub, and electronic music—a conversation between past and future, San Juan and the wider sonic world.
