Techdombe is an electronic music subgenre that fuses the Afro-Uruguayan genre Candombe with Techno music. The term is gestated by Uruguayan multidisciplinary-artist, music producer, and DJ Javier Zugarramurdi García. After many years of experimentation with the fusion of the genres, finally in 2015 Zugarramurdi releases a mini-album entitled Techdombe on his own independent label Repique, running under Bandcamp. The label is focused on release modern electronic music based on Candombe grooves. After giving birth to the subgenre Zugarramurdi is known as the originator of Techdombe.
