  • Shared decks with Urban Groovee, Diego Cid, Jam On

VILALOBOS started out in 2013 at SÓNICA, went deeper into production in 2015 at ARJAUS and never stopped.

A selector schooled in the old school of digital vinyl and the long haul — Tech House as the foundation, crossing hypnotic Progressive House, groove-driven Deep House and mental Techno, without falling for the easy peak.

He has shared decks with the forerunners of Argentine electronic music: Urban Groovee (LA), Diego Cid, Jam On, Eduardo Criado, Magoo. Plus Paul Deep, Camila Díaz, Berger Muzik, Udolph, May Mc Laren and dozens of up-and-coming DJs who are now names of the underground.

Clubs & event series — El Quinto Sueño, Under Club, self-run series, private and open-air parties.

Style — Sets from 2 hours up to 6 hours (extended sets), slow build, constant groove.

05 — Vilalobos School

Private and group lessons in mixing, production and reading the floor. Hands-on approach, no fluff: real beatmatching, structure, energy management and musical judgment.

Series in CABA, workshops and mentoring. If you're looking for a teacher who is also active in the booth —not on YouTube—, drop him a line.

Many of his students now play in the Buenos Aires underground.

Testimonial

“Mati doesn't teach you to hit sync. He teaches you to listen to the floor and hold it for 4 hours without getting boring. That's why his kids are out there playing.”
