Living high among a forest of skyscrapers in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Franco Di Lorenzo (a.k.a. Dilo and Elephant Pixel) works diligently in his home studio. His musical tastes and influences include IDM, abstract hip-hop, indie rock, folk, minimal techno, click and electro -- all of which are represented throughout his various music productions.
In 2003, Dilo (alongside Bruno De Vincenti a.k.a. Ivan Johnson) launched the cd label, Zensible. In 2005, he launched his own cd & mp3 label, Igloo, a musical platform that incarnates itself through electronic music´s more innovative and versatile genres, stemming from IDM onwards to Minimal.
In 2006 Dilo was included in the compilation "Aires Buenos" (Unfoundsound15).
The same year Dilo produced a track for the essential french label Telegraph, included in the Post Office Special Argentina Madness (tel30), a compilation that brought together a new generation of experimental minimal techno artists from Argentina, including Seph, Violett, Franco Cinelli, Gurtz, Funzion, Jorge Savoretti & Leonel Castillo.
His music is currently released or forthcoming on Igloo and also Telegraph, Roman-Photo, Less iz More, Einmaleins, Esperanza, Adjunct, Unfoundsound, Sinergy Networks, Produkt, Leftroom, and others. Dilo was remixed by artists such as Dandy Jack, (a)pendics.shuffle, Dapayk, Franco Cinelli, From Karaoke to Stardom, Seuil, Barem, Shadi Megallaa, Gurtz, Funzion, and others, and have remixed artists like Sutekh, DissOnance, (a)pendics.shuffle, Kasper & Papol, QiK, Gurtz, Funzion, etc.
His live and dj sets have been heard in Argentina, Columbia, Switzerland, USA, Italy, Spain, Germany, England, Romania, Bielorusia, Costa Rica & Uruguay -- playing alongside people like Akufen, Sonja Moonear, Someone else, Monolake, Plaid, Alex Smoke, Raresh, Machine Drum and others.
Nowadays he spends his time between Buenos Aires, London and Berlin; working on his projects and playing live/dj sets.
