Hello, my name is Rodolfo Venegas, also known as Sonikgroove. I’m a producer, composer, and sound designer from Colombia, based in Barcelona since 2002, where I’ve spent over two decades composing music for documentaries, film, and audiovisual projects of all kinds.
My journey started in Bogotá in 2000, working as a sound technician and composing my first pieces for TV commercials and radio ads. A couple of years later I moved to Barcelona, where I teamed up with Jairo Cataño to found Trébol Rojo, a studio focused on documentary soundtracks. Many of the documentaries we scored together have gone on to win numerous local and international awards, and several are now streaming on Filmin.
Around the same time, we also launched Territorio Comanche, an electronic dub project rooted in Afro-Latin rhythms. We took the stage at festivals including Fusion Festival (Lärz, Germany) and the Third Latin American Congress of Cultures (Medellín, Colombia). One of our tracks, «Cumbia Resistencia,» was later featured in Netflix‘s documentary series Explained and the series Entrevías.
In recent years, I’ve worked as a freelance producer and sound designer across a wide range of formats: documentaries, theatre, video games, corporate video, art installations, and other creative projects. Alongside this, I’ve kept growing my own project, Sonikgroove, as a producer and DJ, performing at venues, clubs, and festivals across Europe and Latin America, including Tribal Gathering (Panama), Own Spirit (Spain), Borgo Universo (Italy), and Primavera Sound x Soho House (Spain).
As a composer for audiovisual media, my goal is always the same: music that strengthens the emotional impact and storytelling of the image. I believe close, honest communication with the director or client is what turns a good score into the right score, and I always try to bring ideas to the table, not just follow a brief.
Have a project in mind? I’d love to hear about it, feel free to reach out.
