Techno

I love electronic music, probably due to growing up with Cream and Bugged Out on my doorstep in Liverpool in the 90's.

So Mr Chilean now Berliner Ricardo Villalobos is playing on Friday at Crobar. Can he rock it with that minimal sound? That is what I want to find out*. And next week, BA hosts Liverpool's famous festival export, Creamfields. Carl Craig, Booka Shade, yeay. David Guetta er I won't be seeing him.

Many music producers, like Ricardo, have gravitated towards Berlin in recent years, it's become the epicentre of minimal electronicness. Argentina is still home to some talented guys though; Simbad was born in France and now lives in Córdoba. He dj's all over Argentina and hosts a regular night at Bahrein. His podcast for Residential Advisor showcases his minimal but groove led style. Jonas Kopp is another influential talent who has received international acclaim. According to his MySpace page, he is playing here in BA on 7th of November at Shamrock and 21st November somewhere in Palermo.

--------------------------------

Post edit - * Yes Ricardo did rock Crobar, he played very upbeat, fun techno, much more of a party sound than his stripped down uber minimal types of sets that I've heard him play in London. Crobar was rammed, despite entradas priced at AR $100!
