Vlisa And Microesfera - Mini Man

Microesfera is one of the southern cone most visible and forward thinking electronica dance acts. Alejandro Amo and Ramiro Larrain are Microesfera, part of Buenos Aires’ techno scene since 1997.

After that they self released the “Illusion” album on their label Droop Discos in 2002 a year after their “Reconstrucción” album for their Vlisa project. 

In 2005 Microesfera released two EP’s on Japan’s Mule Electronic label (with by Mike Shannon and Gustavo Lamas) which are distributed worldwide by Kompakt. As restless thinkers that Alejandro and Ramiro are, Microesfera projects always have some type romantic concept behind the music, lacing their releases with an almost innocent sense of criticism and humor.

At 2006 Microesfera debuts on Static Discos, with his second album “Negative”, is a collection of tracks which are transmuted into micro techno sounds that create a reverse mesh of avant dance aesthetics. The album completes itself with 3 remixes from up and coming Latin American producers, Receptor (Chile), Fax and Latinsizer (both from Mexico).  

After 2011 The Argentinean duo before resizing to a one man project with Ramirro Larraín. The duo parted amicably with Alejandro Amo focusing now on his career as a graphic designer and personal business.  This fact marks a new era for Microesfera, where all the principles of his detailed sound design come into full circle and impact with a more subdued and pop sound and feel.
