Sparrow & Barbossa is a Madrid-based DJ and producer duo formed by the Swiss Bryan Coletta and the Uruguayan Emiliano Haberli.
Bryan is a pianist born to a musician's family; his father is the legendary guitarist Francis Coletta who worked with artists like Whitney Houston, Quincy Jones, and Frank Sinatra. 
Emiliano was born and raised in Uruguay, a region dominated by African colonials, and was widely influenced by 'The Culture Of Candombe,' a pure African tribal rhythm from colonialism.

Since a very young age, Bryan has been inspired by Soul, Jazz, and Funk, which he uses in his creations with a remarkable capacity for improvisation and versatility. Emiliano embarked on his music career when he moved to Europe in 2004, where he connected with the electronic music scene of Madrid. He played drums in night clubs where he met DJ Chus for the first time, working with him as a percussionist on Chus & Joeski's classic track 'El Amor.'

Bryan and Emiliano created a fusion between organic instruments and electronic sounds. Their age difference has a positive influence on both their releases and performance. While Bryan brings the freshness of modern sounds and melodies, Emiliano fine-tunes the rhythmic part and builds up his knowledge throughout the years. Globe-trotters, who're true lovers of ethnic and lost cultures, are devoted to transmitting this legacy through electronic music.

Sparrow & Barbossa's production debut came in 2018 with their version of Mory Kante's classic 'Yeke' released on Wired Records. The track became a #1 Afro House record. In 2020, they released 'Nterini,' a remix for Fatoumata Diawara's on MoBlack Records that became a #2 Afro House Record with around 2 million plays on Spotify.

DJ Chus's Label, Redolent Music, released Sparrow & Barbossa's debut album 'Seven Seas' in 2021, featuring starring collaborations with Mo'Horizon 'Quango Te Veo' also released on Stereo Mcs label, Connected Frontline. Dele Sosimi, Floyd Lavine, Josh Milan, Francis Coletta, Idd Aziz, and DJ Chus with 'Nyakua' became a #1 Afro House single on Traxsource and reached over 1 million plays on Spotify. 'Morena,' also included in the Album, became an Ibiza Anthem thanks to the Keinemusik crew, Adam Port, &Me, and Rampa, their strongest supporters.
The Album was a milestone setting a new course in Sparrow & Barbossa's career. They aim to transmit ancient cultures' roots and democratize World Music through Electronica with a House Music core and are all about Organic, Latin, Deep, and Afro Electronic Dance Music.

2022, in a time of frenetic worldwide overture traveling the world around and spreading the musical message of this 'Infamous-Afro-Latin-House-Pirates Duo, and right after the global Pandemic, they started running their own record label, Tortuga Tribes, giving a voice and a home to a whole community of artists and musicians from all Latin America, under the flag of the Caribbean House Music.

Sony Music Latin Label Orianna is releasing Sparrow & Barbossa's second album 'Réciprocité.' In 2023, featuring performers such as Starving Yet Full (Hungry For The Power), Maria De Moraes (Vinicius de Moraes' Daughter), Phindile Ndlovu (Lion King) and remixers such as Monkey Safari, Boddhi Satva, Manoo, Amine K and DJ Chus amongst others.

From 2009 on, Rampa made a name of himself through Keinemusik, his own little d.i.y.-cosmos, being not only label, but also crew of likeminded DJs, producers and friends. The teamwork within this realm has seen a serious number of productions and collaborations, particularly with fellow producer &ME, not to forget the rest of the bunch, Adam Port, Reznik and Monja. 

Besides, he’s got an array of other collaborations and releases under his belt, put out on imprints like Circoloco, Innervisions, Diynamic, Afterlife, Cocoon, Ninja Tunes / Counter Records, Strictly Rhythm, Kompakt, 2020 Vision, Freerange, Bpitch Control, Defected or Crosstown Rebels.

The events of the last few years have seen Rampa focussing more and more on the production side of things, be it studio time or the inauguration of the TEILE project – his own company to produce and distribute analogue effects, custom built for DJ-purposes. Certainly also an outlet for a slight nerdism, that includes not only studio gear, but instruments in general. When it comes to DJing itself, he is going for a less is more approach these days, choosing bookings and playing more consciously.

A true artist in every sense of the word, Layton Giordani stands firmly as one of the most popular tastemakers of techno’s new school, with his pioneering musical vision serving as a contemporary voice for the younger generation. Spending years acquiring knowledge from musical greats, the 28 year old possesses a wealth of experience far beyond his years and has now undeniably earned his rank in the upper echelon of techno. With a repertoire that knows no bounds, the dexterous New Yorker has explored a new dimension of scope with each passing year, nurturing a monumental discography that echoes staunch dedication to his craft. Giordani’s palpable successes can be largely credited to his extensive stock of knowledge, garnered through an insatiable work ethic and years spent earning his keep in the industry. Solely focused on his passion for music from the age of just 13, Giordani’s path forever changed at 19 years old after watching Danny Tenaglia perform live at Pacha NYC. Deeply inspired by the formative experience, Layton began to master his craft behind the decks, landing a pivotal residency at Brooklyn’s Output NY that would consequently steam-roll his career into quick maturity. Thanks to the faith they instilled in him, Layton turned heads and began making a name for himself through his deft touch and sharp ear. Seeking further guidance from another of the long-standing greats, Giordani spent countless hours under the mentorship of Adam Beyer, honing his composition talents and studying the cardinal cuts of techno’s rich history. The affiliation resulted in Giordani’s first releases under the Swedish maven’s storied imprints; an EP titled Unspoken on Truesoul followed shortly by Rivington, his input to Drumcode’s celebrated A-Sides series. News of the untapped star’s fresh sensibilities circulated and in 2017, Giordani erupted onto the scene with his aptly-named debut album contribution to Drumcode in the form of Where It Begins. The 12-track LP served as the first seismic indication of his capabilities and subsequently received critical acclaim from artists, new fans and industry specialists alike.

When one could assume, &ME entered the House and Techno world somewhat out of the blue, it is due to his sublime modesty that’s already captured in his alias. His way to become one of today’s most praised and sought after DJ/producers is based on a solid foundation. A foundation comprised of solo-releases, remixes, projects and collaborations that numerous, we’d rather refer to his discography than weary you with namedropping. Besides, all those references would just distract from what truly matters – the music this guy is delivering. Not to underestimate the importance of a project such as Terranova for &ME’s current path, but still the alignment has been made – to focus consistently on his solo-work. And it shows.

There are not many artists around turning in such a slew of globally praised floormaterial like &ME did over the last years. Just think of his last offerings on Keinemusik, a collective of Berlin based DJs and producers, including Rampa, Adam Port, Reznik & artist Monja Gentschow, he helped founding in 2009, namely “After Dark” and “Woods” or his “Vermillion”-remix for Damian Lazarus – all serious bangers, played by every renowned DJ worldwide. Everything is falling into place for the fella. His DIY-approach to handle things, his easy going attitude, his reputation as a gifted producer and DJ extraordinaire, his ability to link innovative production with consensual reception, making him one of the most unique and original figures in the game.
