They've appreciated a cult interest for their takes on outernational rhythm, field recording, and the tension and relief on the knife-edge of dance music; all delivered with an impressive commitment to anonymity and clarity of vision through cut-and-dried aesthetic minimalism.

De Leon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
El anfitrión de la tarde
Nunca llamo la atención
Trae la escuela de los grandes
De mafiosos pura sangre
Muy raro el día de hoy
Dinastías poderosas
En las orillas del bravo
Élites muy exclusivas
Donde los lujos se miran
Que Hasta parecen Romanos
No es casualidad señores
Ni tampoco coincidencia
Que sea joven y bajito
Parece que en estos business
La inteligencia persigue
Solamente a chaparritos
Ser descuidado es muy fácil
En esto hay mucho cobarde
La lengua no tiene hueso
Hablar de más perjudica
Y donde estoy la justicia
Agarra corte parejo
Son palabras del Patrón
Que su padre le enseñó
Y son clave en el negocio
De los traficantes viejos
Aprendió ser muy Correcto
Hombre fino y cauteloso
El santo Niño de atocha
Le ayuda con varias cosas
Y esta muy agradecido
Su clave el 01
Y al otro lado del río
Esta pesado el amigo
The lyrics to De Leon's song "01" depict a discreet and elegant host who never draws attention but carries the wisdom of the great mafia bloodlines. The song talks about powerful dynasties leaving their mark on the banks of the Rio Grande, where exclusive elites display their luxurious lifestyles reminiscent of ancient Romans. The singer suggests that it is neither a coincidence nor a random occurrence that this young and short individual excels in the underworld. Intelligence seems to favor those who are underestimated.
The song also emphasizes the importance of being cautious and not careless in this world, as there are many cowards who speak without thinking. The singer highlights the significance of being mindful of one's words, as speaking too much can be detrimental. In the realm where the singer resides, justice is served equally.
The lyrics mention how the singer has learned from his father, following the teachings and codes of conduct passed down through generations of experienced drug traffickers. The assistance of the saint Niño de Atocha is acknowledged, expressing gratitude for the many things he helps with. The "01" refers to the singer's code, symbolizing his leadership and authority in his circle, while the reference to things being heavy on the other side of the river implies the dangerous and challenging situations he faces.
