Mario Salazar
BREAKING BEATS SINCE 1984. I refuse to compromise or follow trends when it comes to my sound. Heavily influenced by vintage disco, soul, and house music.
My music is purely for entertainment.

PINCHANDO DISCOS DESDE 1984. Me niego a seguir tendencias y modas cuando se trata de mi sonido. Mi música es solamente para entretenimiento.

Short Bio:
Don Juan Mezcal creates organic electronic journeys rooted in rhythm and spirit. Blending ancestral chants, world music, and deep grooves, his sound invites a conscious dance experience that honors nature, culture, and unity. Rooted in rhythm, guided by spirit — each set becomes a living ritual of connection and sound.

About DJ Mezcal:
Don Juan Mezcal is a sonic storyteller whose sound bridges worlds — merging organic world music and contemporary electronic landscapes into immersive, transformative experiences. His sets flow effortlessly from meditative stillness into ecstatic motion, creating a space where mindful dance meets deep connection.

Rooted in a profound respect for the Earth and indigenous wisdom, Don Juan Mezcal blends ancestral chants, mantras, and ritual songs with warm analog grooves, hypnotic percussion, and ethereal textures. The result is an evolving sonic journey — a fusion of the ancient and the modern, guiding the listener through an auditory ceremony that feels both primal and futuristic.

His music celebrates the interconnectedness of all beings, weaving together cultures, rhythms, and emotions into one universal pulse. Whether performing a sunrise chillout session or an open-air ecstatic dance, Don Juan Mezcal invites his audience to move, feel, and awaken — in harmony with the organic rhythm of life.

A true craftsman of conscious sound, he transforms every performance into a living, breathing ritual of music, presence, and unity.

★Echoes from Venus was born out of love for music★
Venus meets us in the morning and evening and reminds us symbolically of what our label stands for as well as how we want to meet at the Echoes events:
With love, sensuality, harmony, seduction, mindfulness, peace and partnership to name a few....
This should also be reflected in our music.
There is a lot of heart, relationship, joy and respect in each of our releases and the events.
If you also feel this and such intensions are in your productions send us your demos to:
info@echoesfromvenus.ch
Since we don't have time for stress, we tend to choose downtempo music. We are open for organic, warm sounds, instruments, voices, experimental.......

For my House Music Account.. https://soundcloud.com/user-369230938

Former Pro DJ and lifetime music lover.  Used the SL1200's for years until finally moving into the 21st century with Traktor.
Always been a fan of live instruments and melodic rhythms, both electronic and natural.
I play all kinds of house music, whether it be progressive, funky, latin, tech etc etc., but for the last couple of years I've been focussing on slowing things down (I think it comes with age!) and enjoying the music for what it is.  Now I just play for fun, so no pressure and I just listen and appreciate.
Now getting into a little producing some nice edits and hope to bring out something totally original soon :)
