Live Minimal Set #1

"Supplier of a passionate journey through tech-house, tech & house beats with a Latin tribal twist that stimulates deep emotions creating a happy infectious atmosphere."

That's how Ariel describes himself as a DJ. Music was never just a part of his world; it was and still is his world. Having grown up in Argentina with family and friends who enjoyed listening to music leisurely...Ariel was naturally drawn to and fell in love with music.  If it was up to Ariel he would have surrounded himself with music all day everyday. Realistically, however, he did so whenever it was feasible. At the age of 13, Ariel began to attend concerts and go to clubs on his own because his motivation and desire to listen, be around and be a part of music could not be controlled and needed to be fed. Ariel's drive to expose himself to all types of music and sounds enabled him to find himself connected to and fascinated by tribal drum beats and rhythms; to the point that he felt and still feels that it may have been a part of one of his past lives or simply ingrained in his soul.

Though Ariel loves mixing tech-house, techno & house beats with a Latin tribal twist, the artistic development of his mixes go beyond the music genre and sound spectrum that has been previously described. As a believer in what speaks to an artist emotionally and soulfully, Ariel does not strictly identify with one specific music genre or sound spectrum.  When developing his mixes Ariel relies on what music and sounds inspire him, speak to him and make him start to move internally as well as externally.  He trusts in the music and sounds that grab him and allows himself to freely just go with it. "I go with what I feel; that's how I play."

"Music is my life; and that is not a cliché. Music is a vital part of my day all day. Music is not an option for me. Music defines me. Music awakens me in every possible way as it makes me feel alive. Music is a second beating heart that I have in my body and it beats to the rhythm. To me, a life without music is no life at all.
