Music
Since 1989 — the loudest, most famous soundtrack on the Marina in Downtown Cabo.
The music is the whole point. For over three decades, El Squid Roe has run on one simple law — whatever gets the room off the floor and onto the bar. It's never been about one genre; it's about the next song hitting harder than the last.
When El Squid Roe opened its doors in Los Cabos in 1989, the sound came straight off the West Coast. Touring DJs flew in from California and Baja with crates of vinyl under their arms, spinning imported records you couldn't hear anywhere else in Mexico. As the internet made music global, so did we — every format the world moved through, we moved through with it.
West-Coast DJs hauled crates of 12-inch records down to Cabo — the imported sound that made ESR an instant landmark.
Mixtapes and cassette sets passed hand to hand — the DJ's edge was the tracks nobody else had.
Binders of CDs and the first CDJ decks — faster mixing, deeper crates, louder nights.
The whole record collection shrank onto a hard drive and a USB stick — decades of music in a pocket.
The internet went global and so did the floor — our live sound now pulls from everything, everywhere, all at once.
No two nights are identical, but the DNA is constant — party anthems that everyone knows the words to, mixed with the beats that keep three floors moving. Here's the flavor:
The floor-fillers everyone still shouts — Get Low, Shots, Teach Me How to Dougie, Wobble.
Big-room drops from David Guetta, Calvin Harris, Tiësto, Showtek, Deorro and Timmy Trumpet.
Bad Bunny, Daddy Yankee, Farruko and Pitbull keeping the Baja heat on.
Beyoncé, Rihanna, Gwen Stefani, Fifth Harmony — the sing-every-word moments.
