ESPAÑOL:
DJ Productor colombiano marcado por los estilos del Trance melódico y el House progresivo. Sus inicios musicales se remontan al año 1988 cuando adquirió su primer vinilo 12" (Erasure), de ahí en adelante siguió como coleccionista influenciado por el High Energy, Freestyle, Synth-Pop y el Euro Dance.
En el año 1993 incursionó en la radio FM de su ciudad natal (Popayán, Colombia), convirtiéndose en el programa pionero de música electrónica en esta ciudad. Al tiempo, empezó a trabajar con ediciones musicales asistidas por computador usando las primeras versiones de Cool Edit y Goldwave Multiquencer. Su trabajo se distinguió como de los primeros "megamixes" que hacía un DJ colombiano y esto llegó a oidos del sello disquero Sonolux (Colombia), y en el año 1995 fué contratado para realizar el 1er Megamix hecho 100% en Colombia. A este trabajo se le llamó TOTAL MIX y fué un éxito de ventas en todo el país. Luego vendrían trabajos similares.
Finalmente abandonó la escena para dedicarse exclusivamente a su carrera como Administrador de Empresas; sin embargo nunca dejó de lado su pasión por la música y en el 2006 fundó el portal www.altaenergia.com donde semanalmente transmite su radio show "Altaenergia Mix". Igualmente es el creador del ya reconocido set mensual de mezclas "ALTAENERGIA MIX".
ENGLISH: (I don’t write it very well, sorry!)
Colombian DJ Producer influenced by Trance and Progressive sounds, specially Epic & Melodic Trance. His roots go back to 1987 when he got his 1st 12" vinyl record (from Erasure). From that point on he became a big 12" coleccionist, focused on High Energy, Freestyle and Euro Dance artists.
In 1993 he began working on Radio, starting his own electronic music show, which became the 1st e-music radio show in his hometown, Popayan (Colombia). At the same time, he began his first amateur mix sets (known as "Megamixes"), made with his PC and some basic software. However, his work was heard by a prestigeous colombian record label (Sonolux) and in 1995 he was hired to produce the 1st Megamix made in Colombia . The CD was titled TOTAL MIX and became a big sales succes in Colombia. Later, Juan Dorado made other similar megamixes for the same label and also for independent movements.
In 1997 he retired from the scene in order to finish his career as a Business Manager, which he did in 1999. Years passed by until he decided to resume his music career by re-producing his old tracks adding new sounds and modern styles. In 2006 he also founded the web site: www.altaenergia.com, where he plays his weekly mix session named "Altaenergia Mix".
