Damian Rojas aka Damian Reds was born on April 22nd. 1987 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Embraced by a non-music-fan family, he started developing his taste at the age of 10-12. While on highschool, he already dug into styles with electronic rythms and bases. 80's classic bands like Depeche Mode to fresher Jamiroquai funk-soul-europop brought him closer to electronic music. From there, he started a path wich only end was to becoming a fervour house-music lover. Influenced by DJs and producers like Luke Fair, Tom Neville, Kosmas Epsilon, 16 Bit Lolitas, Ozgur Can, Micah, Shiloh, Desyn Masiello, Paolo Mojo, Luke Chable, The Timewriter, Frankie Knuckles, Laurent Garnier, Daft Punk, Agoria, OXIA, Danny Howells, Darren Emerson & Underworld, Dave Clarke, Faithless, John Dahlback, Layo&Bushwacka, Ricky Ryan and of course Hernan Cattaneo, Sasha and John Digweed, his style conforms a fine fussion between electro, deep, dub tech and classic house. Due to his short expierence in the business (less than a year), he stayed in his room 2005's first half. In that time being a bedroom DJ, he got extremely good comments from great personalities from the local scene. The Heineken Thirst DJ Contest was the last push he needed to realize that music was what he really wanted for his future. After placing himself finalist in Argentina (having never played in front of a live audience and beating proffesional DJs with more than 10 years of experience), he worked his way through and managed to get his first weekly radio show.
Despite his short carreer, in 2005 he was able to share booth with DJs such as Raul Padilla (ARG), Gustavo Godoy (ARG), Javier D'May (ARG), Roger Sanchez and BT, among others; and he performed live in one of latinamerica's biggest and hotest clubs: Mint Buenos Aires.
2006 finds him in his best shape, managing to place gigs all along Buenos Aires, including a warm-up for Ron van den Beuken for more than 2500 people. Production is a field he does not neglect now, having finished several tracks yet to be released. Also, his latest mashup-edit of Chuck Nology vs. Lets Be Young has been supported & played by Joshua Collins, Slacker, Eddie F, Dave Lambert, MOS, among others.

Damian Rojas aka Damian Reds nacio el 22 de abril de 1987 en la ciudad de Buenos Aires, Argentina. En el seno de una familia no muy adepta a la musica, el comenzo a desarrollar sus gustos por esta a los 10, 12 aos de edad. Al comenzar la secundaria ya incursionaba por estilos con bases electronicas. Desde generos y bandas de los 80 como ser los clasicos Depeche Mode hasta el europop actual de Jamiroquai, estos sonidos lo acercaron al lado mas comercial de la musica electronica. Desde alli empezo a recorrer el camino en el que se encuentra actualmente, iniciandose con el trance hasta llegar a ser el ferviente admirador del house que es hoy en dia. Influenciado por DJs y productores como Luke Fair, Tom Neville, Kosmas Epsilon, 16 Bit Lolitas, Ozgur Can, Micah, Shiloh, Desyn Masiello, Paolo Mojo, Luke Chable, The Timewriter, Frankie Knuckles, Laurent Garnier, Daft Punk, Agoria, OXIA, Danny Howells, Darren Emerson & Underworld, Dave Clarke, Faithless, John Dahlback, Layo&Bushwacka, Ricky Ryan y por supuesto Hernan Cattaneo, Sasha y John Digweed, su estilo conforma una fina fusion de electro house con toques de deep y progressive house. Dada su corta experiencia (menor a un ao) se mantuvo siendo un bedroom DJ durante la primera mitad de 2005, pero recibio buenos comentarios de grandes personalidades de la escena house argentina. El Heineken Thirst DJ Contest se convirtio en el empujon final que necesito para convencerse que desempeñarse como DJ y productor era lo que realmente queria para su futuro. Luego de colocarse como finalista en la Argentina, los caminos se abrieron un poco mas y consiguio la difusion y publicidad necesaria para poner en el aire su propio radio show semanal.
A pesar de su corta carrera, en el 2005 compartio cabina con DJs de la talla de Raul Padilla (ARG), Gustavo Godoy (ARG), Javier DMay (ARG), Roger Sanchez y BT, entre otros; presentandose en uno de los mejores clubes latinoamericanos: Mint Club Lounge. El 2006 lo encuentra en su mejor forma, consiguiendo gigs por todo Buenos Aires, incluyendo un warm up a Ron van den Beuken ante mas de 2500 personas.
Tampoco resigna la produccion, ya que termino varios tracks todavia no editados. A su vez, su ultimo mashup-edit de Chuck Nology vs. Lets Be Young ha sido apoyado y mezclado por Joshua Collins, Slacker, Eddie F, Dave Lambert,, MOS, entre otros.
