With a career beginning in the early 2000s, the artist has worked under several aliases, including Elysia Crampton, E+E, DJ K'oa, and DJ Ocelote.^[1] Edits is a compilation of DJ mashups and remixes produced by Chuquimamani-Condori over a six-year period, drawn from live sets, DJ mixes, and previously unreleased material.^[2] The collection consists of 24 tracks^[3] and runs for more than 100 minutes. In 2025, Chuquimamani-Condori married their partner, Travis, and released an NTS Radio mix titled Chuqi Chinchay is God (ILY Travis), which shares musical material with Edits.^[2][4]

Edits is an experimental^[2] compilation of DJ mashups and edits that combines Western pop and country songs with indigenous dance genres from Bolivia and Peru.^[5] Critics identified elements of Andean folk music, bro-country, tecnocumbia, cloud rap, and 1990s freestyle,^[2] with many tracks built around caporales and kullawada rhythms.^[5]

Critics noted the album's dense and fragmented sonic design.^[4][5] The arrangements incorporate DJ tags, sound effects, and samples from songs by Faith Hill, Bruce Hornsby, and Parker McCollum, among others.^[5] Sam Goldner from Pitchfork also observed recurring themes related to Indigenous identity, queerness, and anti-colonial perspectives, particularly through the album's juxtaposition of North American popular music and Andean rhythms.^[2]

Sam Goldner from Pitchfork described the mashups in Edits uncover "a sense of wonder and vulnerability buried in unlikely places" and observed that the results were "not that far off from an 'official' DJ E album".^[2]
