Perfil artístico de Ricardo Villa Sánchez

Ricardo Villa Sánchez (Santa Marta, 1977) es un creador caribeño cuya obra transita los caminos del exilio, la memoria y la esperanza. Narrador, poeta y letrista, ha tejido una voz propia en el cruce entre lo íntimo y lo colectivo, entre la vida cotidiana y las luchas por la justicia social y ambiental. Su narrativa fragmentada, cargada de lirismo y verdad emocional, se expresa en novelas como Ya sin futuro (2004), Siempre es bueno regresar a casa (2014) y Mejores Tiempos Vendrán (2025). Es también autor del blog Ciudad Caótica, espacio de resistencia escrita, y compositor de letras que han dado origen a canciones como Es mi Sierra Nevada, canto por la paz y el territorio. Su arte es testimonio y evocación: una forma de habitar la palabra con el cuerpo, con la historia y con el alma. Cree en la creación como herramienta de transformación, y en la belleza como lenguaje de la verdad.

Italy-born London-based DJ and producer Giulia Campanella pulls the sonority of leftfield electronica into the side of percussive music in a refreshing and effortless way. Codifying the variety of influences trapped within Giulia Tess is like a journey through a maze: challenging, thrilling and yet, rewarding in the end.

• Bio •
Hicky & Kalo are a DJ and producer duo from Montreal, Canada. Classically trained and both graduates in electronic music from the University of Montreal, the pair have built a strong reputation for their distinct musical identity, dedication to the scene, and deep, melodic sound. As residents of the iconic Stereo Montreal (@stereonightclub) and founders of Plaisirs Sonores Records (@plaisirssonoresrecords), they are considered part of the new wave shaping the future of the global underground melodic scene.

As accomplished producers, their music has been released on top-tier labels such as Berlin’s Watergate Records, Brazil's Warung Recordings, Renaissance Recordings, Hernan Cattaneo’s Sudbeat Music, When We Dip Records, Replug Records by Cid Inc, and their own Plaisirs Sonores Records. Their productions have attracted remixes from respected artists including Cristoph, Rodriguez Jr., Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, Denis Horvat, Soul Button, Mihai Popoviciu, Volen Sentir, Makebo, and Karmon.

Through their imprint Plaisirs Sonores Records, the duo has collaborated with and signed a roster of international talent including Hernan Cattaneo, Rodriguez Jr., Nick Warren, Armen Miran, Cristoph, D-Nox, Soul Button, Cid Inc, Budakid, Sahar Z, Julian Wassermann, Petar Dundov, Dmitry Molosh, and many more.

In late 2023, they reached a major milestone with their track ‘Voyage’ — a collaboration with Hernan Cattaneo — which claimed the #1 spot on Beatport’s Progressive House chart. Most recently in 2025, they were nominated for a Juno Award for Underground Dance Single of the Year for ‘Distant Memories’.

Their career has taken them across Canada and around the globe, with performances in countries such as Australia, Argentina, Colombia, France, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, United Kingdom, United States, Croatia, Sri Lanka, and St-Martin, where they’ve shared their signature sound on some of the most respected stages in the international electronic music scene.

◄ DJ MAG - Artist To Watch [tinyurl.com/djmaghickykalo]
'The same deep, transcendent melodies that made Hicky & Kalo crowd favorites in Montréal, have also left a lasting impression on the city’s progressive and deep house scenes. As founders of the record label, Plaisirs Sonores, the duo has already signed Kris Davis and Rauschhaus, among other esteemed artists. Recently, Hicky & Kalo’s original track, ‘Astre’, was remixed by the ethereal techno god himself, Soul Button. 

Though Hicky & Kalo command the Québec club circuit, it was this collaboration that blasted them off to the transnational realm, with an acclaimed premiere at SXM Festival. The prolific pair will continue to build their public profile this month, when names like Hernan Cattaneo and Graziano Raffa join the roster of exciting artists to release new tunes for their Plaisirs Sonores imprint. Stay tuned.'

'Also accomplished producers, the duo’s deep melodic sounds have found a home on Hernan Cattaneo’s Sudbeat Music, When We Dip’s XYZ and their own Plaisirs Sonores imprint. Now as 2021 begins for Hicky and Kalo, the duo further their foothold within the progressive underground, debuting on Cid Inc’s Replug Records with a two-track showcase entitled ‘Eyes Of Truth’. We had a chance to catch up with the Canadian duo for an exclusive interview just prior to the release. Enjoy!'

'Hicky & Kalo have been around for quite some time now, and the Montreal duo has proven to be one of the most influential artists in the local electronic music scene. Founders of Plaisirs Sonores Records, they have been delighting us with their groovy rhythmic deep house, and continue to advance their style in catchy ways. This is most noticeable with their  latest EP, Astre, featuring a Soul Button remix.'

Resident DJ at Lux Fragil until 2016, the year in which Ramboiage abandons the most famous club of Lisbon to become Artistic Director of the Brunch Electronik Festival, in the same city. Heavily influenced by the 70’s New York Disco and Funk Scene as well as US House music, Ramboiage is known for his own fusion of groovy basslines and shaky chords, swinging from funky New Disco to dancy Deep House. Behind the decks Ramboiage takes the crowds on a journey from the first to the last track: expect a mix of groovy tunes, uplifting vocals and some hidden gems flooding the dance floors with intense rhythms – living up to his DJ name, “Ramboia” meaning Party in Portuguese. Throughout his career Ramboiage had regular presence in the best clubs, parties and festivals in Portugal; Lisb_on, Nos Alive, Fuse, Bloop and Rock in Rio Lisboa, just to name some. The musician and producer also has brought his high energy to dance floors all around the world: New York, Berlin, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Bali, Munich, Luanda, Madrid, London, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Paris, and many more. As producer he already edited several music and remixes, for labels like Love Monk, Piston Records, RF Digital Factory, and the infamous Get Physical.
