The Fugue - Contrapunctus X

Bruno Bustamante is a DJ originally from Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, Antartida e Islas del Atlantico Sur.
His passion for music led him to explore the world of DJing in a self-taught way at the age of 15, experimenting with the software available on the family computer. Since then, his curiosity for electronic music has continued to grow, accompanying him through every stage of his life.

His journey took him to live in Buenos Aires and Brazil, where he continued developing his passion and seized every opportunity to perform and connect with new scenes. His official debut as a DJ was in 2009 at the iconic Diada pub in Ushuaia, sharing the booth with DJ Grande and Matt Wise.

Over the years, Bruno has brought his musical proposal to various bars and nightclubs in the city, always with the aim of delivering DJ sets characterized by progressive house, melodic techno, peak-time energy, and subtle elements of psytrance. He has shared the booth with iconic DJs from the national electronic scene such as Sebastian Busto, Juan Hansen, Sergio Athos and others.

True to his style, which strives for flawless transitions, Bruno considers himself in constant learning, keeping alive the essence that has driven him from the beginning: a passion for music and a deep sense of collective enjoyment and connection.

Paolo Alberto Lodde aka Dusty Kid is undoubtedly one of his country’s most exciting electronic music exports. A native of Sardinia, Italy, Lodde is a classically trained musician and an individual who approaches house and techno like few others in his field.
A live act of considerable distinction, he first emerged in the mid ‘00s courtesy of a string of rapturously received releases, the likes of which helped breathe new life in to a scene that was then preoccupied with monotonous, over-hyped minimal sounds. With the benefit of hindsight, Dusty Kid’s emergence was one of many sparks that helped usher in a whole new era of genuinely exciting, intricately produced electronic music that remains to this very day.
An early embracer of all things musical, Lodde started playing the piano at age 4. By 10, he was studying alongside students almost twice his age. However, it was when he swapped the piano for synths and sequencers that his take on music took on a whole new approach. Heavily influenced by the likes of Jeff Mills, Underground Resistance, Jam & Spoon and Daft Punk (and free from what he perceived as the constraints of the piano), he began producing his own electronically-inclined compositions, with his first single, ‘I Found a Reason’.
Boasting a nimble, dexterous and always scrupulously-produced sound aesthetic, his unique way of working quickly brought him to the attention of globally-esteemed labels a la Boxer, Systematic, Southern Fried, Bpitch Control, Suara and Mau5trap, with tracks such as ‘Kore’, ‘Milk’, ‘America’ and ‘Lynchesque’ quickly cementing his name into the hearts and minds of the global electronic music scene.
Alongside his solo releases, Dusty Kid is also an impressively consistent remixer, putting his own stamp on music by the likes of Moby, Armand Van Helden, The Pet Shop Boys, Booka Shade, Robyn and Simian Mobile Disco over the years.
An endlessly consistent purveyor of up-front club fare, Lodde is just as comfortable producing techno- focused records as he is more pop-orientated records, a way of working that’s in keeping with his refreshingly unpretentious take on music.
A truly versatile musician who’s never been shackled by convention, it’s Dusty Kid’s eclecticism and ability to embrace new sounds that means he continues to stick out from the crowd. A musician who continues to electrify and innovate at a rate that would make most of his peers blush, Dusty Kid truly is a talent worth embracing.
