vi•sion quest (noun): a search for personal communication with the spirit world. 

Every mystical journey eventually comes to a fork in the road. The seeker of life’s destiny has two options: remain satisfied with whatever level of consciousness he has already attained, or push forward into ever-new domains of promise and possibility. 2014 sees dance music’s best-known spiritual pilgrims, the Visionquest trio of Ryan Crosson, Lee Curtiss, and Shaun Reeves, bravely embarking upon that wondrous journey. Each member of this celebrated DJing and production team contributes a distinct yet interlocking vision that together forms a seamless, organic whole. Just think of Crosson’s enthusiastic shuffle, Lee’s soulful stare, Shaun’s soft touch. Everything they craft has the same unmistakable flair: slow-burning, shape-shifting, expansive techno and house marked by compositional elegance and unabashed pop hooks.

Although long-time partner and co-conspirator Seth Troxler has stepped aside to pursue other projects, 2013 was the biggest year ever for the four. Inspired by the passing of the Mayan calendar, the group embarked upon Visionquest 13, 13 dates where the boys not only played together the whole night, but curated a true multimedia experience. From London to Buenos Aires, from the American hinterland to the Chilean wilderness, Visionquest 13 was a Freudian trip into the deepest recesses of the Detroit rave unconscious, what Ibiza Voice described as a “collective expedition into the depths of your soul”—but with a sophisticated, modern twist.

Their accomplishments are well-known and too many to list. For starters: a critically acclaimed 2011 Fabric mix; year-defining hit remixes for artists as diverse as Kiki, Wareika, Tracey Thorn, and David Lynch; showcases and dates in the biggest clubs and festivals around the world; and the creation of a now iconic-label that’s played host to dancefloor weaponry from the likes of Benoit & Sergio, Life & Death, Dinky, and Laura Jones—all this while each member maintained significant individual production and DJ careers. But, by definition, no journey dwells in the past. So in 2014 they launched Visionquest Special Editions, a limited-release, vinyl only label. Evoking the experimental sounds of the European techno avant-garde that first inspired the boys back in Detroit, the debut release, remixes of Montreal songwriter Quilla, features a stunning collaboration between Shaun and long-time hero Ricardo Villalobos. With Visionquest Special Editions we see the group at home at a breezy, gentle afterparty, not just igniting the club. As Visionquest winds around the corner into their bright future, they remain open and excited for what lies ahead.

English version:

From Pergamino, Buenos Aires to the heart of the Argentine underground, Nacho Zacco embodies the stoic, sensitive, and visionary artist.

At 12, he was already immersed in bands and albums like Depeche Mode and Massive Attack, and at 15, he debuted with his first residency.

He comments on his keen interest in the most characteristic sonic strains of house and techno, but with a strong influence from pop, new wave, Italo, and others. And when it comes to production, his brother and friends such as Lucas Mari and Matías Oviedo instilled in him his interest in musical analysis.

In 2003, already settled in Rosario, Santa Fe, he was part of a crucial generation alongside names like Andrés Zacco, Lucas Mari, Franco Cinelli, Nico Purman, Jorge Savoretti, Cape, and others.

He also began developing his career as a designer and animator for the advertising agency "FukingRats," where he became Project Manager two years later. In 2007, he founded his own agency, QuieroBrand.com, where the development of creative solutions became another of his passions.

Thanks to his connection to the music industry, combined with his vision and focus, he has the honor of working on prestigious national and international projects, including Lustig Producciones, a prestigious event production company (Argentina) and Latin America, managing renowned accounts such as the South American Music Conference (SAMC) festival.

Returning to his role as a music producer, he has launched projects for Guerrilla Tunes (Argentina), where he thanks Pedro D'alessandro for opening the doors of his home to him, Sofa Club (Fr), and on BandCamp.

He also mentions a great Uruguayan talent, Eduardo Brunetto (UY), for his unconditional support, along with the aforementioned Lucas Marí. He tells us about Lucca Araujo, with whom he has worked on several projects that have yet to see the light of day: "Lanz Project."

And above all, he highlights his brother, who paved the way for him from a very young age, not only musically, but also in the perseverance necessary to achieve his goals.

With a profound, emotional, and rhythmic approach, Nacho, or Ignacio as you know him, continues to prove that musical empires are also built from the shadows.

Versión en Español:

Desde Pergamino, Buenos Aires hasta el corazón del underground argentino, Nacho Zacco representa al artista estoico, sensible y visionario.

A los 12 años, ya estaba inmerso en bandas y cintas como Depeche Mode y Massive Attack, y a los 15, debutó con su primera residencia.

Comenta sobre su gran interes por las vertientes sonoras más características del house y el techno, pero con una fuerte influencia del pop, la new wave, el italo entre otros. Y en cuanto a la producción, su hermano y amigos tales como Lucas Mari y Matías Oviedo le inculcan su interés por el análisis musical.

En 2003, ya instalado en Rosario, Santa Fe, formó parte de una generación crucial junto a nombres como Andrés Zacco, Lucas Mari, Franco Cinelli, Nico Purman, Jorge Savoretti, Cape, y otros. 

También comenzó a desarrollar su carrera como diseñador y animador para la agencia de publicidad "FukingRats", donde dos años más tarde se convirtió en Gerente de Proyecto. En 2007, funda su propia agencia "QuieroBrand.com", la cual el desarrollo de soluciones creativas se convierten en otra de sus pasiones.

Gracias a su conexión con la industria musical, sumada a su visión y enfoque, tiene el honor de trabajar en prestigiosos proyectos nacionales e internacionales, incluyendo "Lustig Producciones", una prestigiosa productora de eventos (Argentina) y Latinoamérica, gestionando cuentas de renombre como el festival South American Music Conference (SAMC).

Retomando en su faceta como productor musical ha lanzado proyectos para Guerrilla Tunes (Arg), donde agradece a Pedro D'alessandro por abrirle las puertas de su hogar, Sofa Club (Fr) y en BandCamp.

También menciona a un gran talento uruguayo, Eduardo Brunetto (UY), por su apoyo incondicional, junto con el ya mencionado Lucas Marí. Nos habla de Lucca Araujo, con quien ha trabajado en varios proyectos que aún no han visto la luz: "Lanz Project".

Y sobre todo, destaca a su hermano, quien desde muy joven le abrió el camino, no solo musicalmente, sino también en la perseverancia necesaria para alcanzar las metas.

Con un enfoque profundo, emotivo y lleno de ritmo, Nacho o Ignacio como lo conozcas sigue demostrando que los imperios musicales también se construyen desde la sombra.
