18 February 2026 - Ela Minus - UPWARDS

I did not put Ela Minus's album Día on my Wicked 25 last year... although she did make the very long honorable mention list.  If I was making that list today, I'm not sure that album wouldn't make it.   This album is growing on me over time. 

The Colombian native artist started off as a drummer, but her time in college in Boston shaped her electronic/jazz stylings that are her signature now. 

This song, from Día, was co-written by Minus and Katie O'Neill (who also did sound engineering and additional production on the album).

I want to make something clear.  A lot of electronic artists are DJs.  Ela Minus is first and foremost a live artist, and I think this video - where she is appearing with analog equipment - illustrates that well. 


So, by the way, does this actual live performance.
