BIO: Gustavo gained interest for house in years 91/92, listening to Carlos Alfonsin, resident at El Cielo in Buenos Aires. Later taking as reference Hernan Cattaneo, John digweed and Martin Garcia. His taste for house grew and moved towards deep progressive house, breaks and progressive. His sets shows a wide variety of sounds, moving the crowd wih harmony.

His sets usually include edits (he do them himself for personal use, something that later was done by Hernan Cattaneo and Martin Garcia).Your mix of Francesco farfa- the search ( di tomaso breakz edit ) is in the Hernan Cattaneo chart in april 2005 and was played for Hernan Cattaneo & Martin Garcia. Those little differencies in sometimes popular tracks, give them a taste of his personal sound, changing the way it hits the audience, being a dj that shows a very elaborated work outside the booth getting his music ready to the dancefloor and interacting with the crowd.

Gerardo Boscarino

Gerardo Boscarino, was born in Tucuman, Argentina in 1980. Grew up in a family where art was a common subject in all its expressions and was always interested particularly in music. Never locked in just one style, he participated in many band projects playing guitar, bass guitar and drums and even sometimes leading vocals.

At the age of 17 a friend gave him a Robert Miles CD and so he discovered electronic music, falling in love with it right away. Later on, at the age of 23 he met DJ TiTAN, local "Nocturno" night club resident, who introduced him into DJing, which had been one of his many interests. Taught and sponsored by TiTAN, just 2 months after becoming a bedroom DJ, Gerardo is invited to play as a guest DJ at Nocturno, where he is immediately offered a resident position by its owner, locally well known DJ Die-Guess, getting automatically fully involved in Tucuman's dance scene and getting many other residencies and gigs at local clubs and dance events.

After a year of residing at Tucuman.s most important night clubs, Tjanaima and Nocturno, when they shut their doors, he was offered a job at La boite, sharing booth again with his mentor, TiTaN, once a month. Nowadays, Gerardo is DJing weekly at La Boite and La Divina and has started producing coached by some talented producers such as Baunder and MOS having one of his tracks charted by DJ TARKAN. Having shared booth with many outstanding DJs such as Diego Ro-k, Spitfire, Facu Carri, Gonzalo Solimano, Tato Piatti, Roberto ceratti, JP Sgalia, etc., only time will tell where music will lead this new uprising DJ.

Voyage

Before knowing each other, Gastón and Ignacio got actively involved with electronic music in 2001. Separately, they found a great challenge in the possibility of transmitting their passion for music through the turntables. Despite having a different musical background (Ignacio was passionate for funk and disco while Gastón for punk, ska and rock), the fusion of rhythms and sounds they achieved when they met at the booth of El Dorado resulted in the chemistry nowadays known as Voyage. Their sets are known for a particular combination of electro, funk and breakbeat. In a short period of time, they broke the grounds of the local scene, performing (both together and individually) at several of the most important clubs and events of Argentina such as:

- BUE ´04 (featuring other artists like Massive Attack, Herbaliser, Rinôcérose, FC/Kahuna and many others)
- PERSONAL FEST ’04 (sharing the bill with artists such as Primal Scream, 2 Many DJs and Andy Smith, just to name a few...)
- Nokia Trends @ Pacha, SAMC '05, Technasia @ Big One
