Apolinario Ancheta is a highly trained giant squid hunter, greatly respected within the giant squid hunting community.  The elusive animal has captivated the imaginations of many people over centuries and his unorthodox methods have won him praise by an odd mixture of people: biologists, sushi chefs, and electronic music producers worldwide.   

Apolinario employs a specific range of music from House to Techno that he pulsates into the deep seas to lure the creatures so he can study their behavior and ultimately understand what makes them so fucking creepy to most people.  The secret to his success can be attributed to the specific style of music that he selects, “I theorized long ago that since these animals live so far deep in the ocean, I must find the deepest tracks available to be able to reach them”.  Whether it’s deep house, deep techno, or anywhere in between, the giant squid can’t resist these specific sounds “it just stuns them”.  

Earlier in his career, Apolinario experimented with different types of music “It just didn’t work the same; hip hop, electro house, drum and bass –no response”.  Looking back, he attributes this to the lack of experience,  “especially the electro house , I thought it was cutting edge at the time, but  it just turned out to be a bunch of crap –a complete waste of time”

After an 8 year hiatus, he is back playing regularly and maintains a love for deep grooves and prefers to create a story for those who are there for the music and not the scene.
