Héctor Oaks @ Secret Location [10-01-22]

Cecilia, also known as Chechu, is a 22-year-old music lover hailing from Buenos Aires, Argentina. She is an enigmatic individual with a dark sense of humor that adds a unique twist to her personality. Beneath her sweet demeanor lies a touch of melancholy, which adds depth to her character. She often claims that she doesn't enjoy discussing her personal life, deeming it too sad and personal. However, for those fortunate enough to get to know her on a deeper level, they are rewarded with a tapestry of captivating stories and delightful madness creativity.

Beyond her intriguing persona, Chechu is currently immersed learning and researching in the world of high-fi-tech, where she lends her diverse skills and expertise. However, she takes a unique approach to her career, focusing on embracing a low-key lifestyle, embracing a balance between work and personal life. 

While her professional pursuits keep her engaged, Chechu's true passion lies in the realm of music. She is deeply captivated by electronic music and its intricate tapestry of sound. With a profound love for design, technology, and electronics, she finds solace and inspiration within the ethereal realms of beats and melodies.

Since her early childhood, Chechu's ears were influenced by her family of musicians and her technologically inclined father. While many children opted to learn to play musical instruments, she found herself gravitating towards technology, art and design, rather than pursuing formal musical training.

As she traversed through her formative years, Chechu's fascination with music extended beyond merely playing video games. She delved deeper into the realms of soundtracks, voraciously downloading them and exploring different genres. Trash pop and EDM became her favorite musical styles, and she continued to expand her musical horizons with genres such as EDM, Dubstep, and Hardcore.

At the age of 16, Chechu attended her first music festival and experienced the transformative power of music firsthand. It became a therapeutic outlet, a refuge that resonated deep within her soul. This profound experience solidified her unwavering love for music and set her on a path to explore its various facets.

Some months after and inspired by the tragedy of Time Warp in Buenos Aires in 2016, Chechu was moved by the misrepresentation of the local electronic music scene in the media and the entanglement of local politics. This prompted her to pursue studies in Communication Sciences at the University of Buenos Aires, with a burning desire to challenge the prevailing narratives and effect positive change through her understanding of communication and societal dynamics such as the status quo to shake it.

At 18, she began frequenting mainstream electronic music venues such as Lollapalooza Argentina, Mandarine Park, Bahrein, Avant Garten, and Under Club, where she enjoyed both local and international dj sets and gigs. It was during this time, around 2017 and 2018, that she started exploring the local underground scene. Eventually, she found herself gravitating towards more intimate venues like Otra Historia Club Cultural, Hostel in San Telmo, Cocoliche, and Galpón de Trenes in the city of La Plata.

Life led her to become a volunteer for Intercambios Asociación Civil, specifically for the PAF! (Proyecto de Atención en Fiestas) team, while she was starting her university education. She dedicated a year to volunteering at electronic music events, promoting education, raising awareness, and creating content for their social media channels.

From the age of 17 onward, she was deeply influenced by various genres such as techno, minimal, melodic, micro house, deep house, experimental, and ambient music. Although she doesn't produce or mix music herself, she constantly has tunes playing in the background.

🇦🇷 When it comes to local influences, she particularly enjoys the sounds of:

E110101 | Sol Ortega | Detroit Classic Gallery | Franzizca | Bermani | Forello | Ezequiel Fanego | Mariano Marcial | TITA | Joaquín Catriel | Loló Gasparini | Michel Lauriola | Carla Tintore | Kid Riot | Mariano DC | Gomboc Records | THD+N | Valentina Spirito, among others.

They form the backdrop to her thoughts, igniting her creativity and guiding her artistic endeavors.

In addition to her love for electronic music, Chechu finds enjoyment in diverse genres such as heavy metal (Megadeth, Metallica, Judas Priest, Slayer), rock (Arctic Monkeys, etc.), indie (Nafta, Dillom, etc.), and pop (Miranda, etc.). This eclectic taste showcases her openness to different styles and her willingness to explore beyond the boundaries of a single genre of music.

To get in touch with Chechu and uncover the layers of her captivating persona, you can reach her here. However, don't be surprised if it takes a few months of knowing her before her stories and unique madness fully unfold.
