PLASS
PLASS
Mauricio Maranghello ( DT ) and Federico Coppis ( FEFO ) are PLASS.
Plass come out of Neuquen in the heart of the Argentinean Patagonia, which is situated in the South of Argentina. With a typical South American style, Plass are already promising to continue the South American trend of generating the finest in electronic producers.
Working together since the early 90s as producers and as DJs, Plass were, and still are, exploring into the progressive sound of House and Breaks. The pair come from different musical roots but has combined their joint knowledge (including classical music, film music production, electronic music production/engineering) to produce a very distinctive sound.
Plass stumbled across Sinister Recordings UK path by passing some of their first tracks to prominent Argentinean DJ Dario Arcas. In turn, he passed a copy to Fernando Amabili of Big Head whilst DJing with him in Buenos Aries. Sinister Recordings UK A&R immediately recognized the potential in Plass and requested more tracks, which included Treasure (released on Sinister in November 2004). In the meantime they licensed more than ten tracks to the agency Toryumon UK for their distribution on Japan and some other countries in orient.
Following, their track “Shine On” was played by Martin Garcia in John’s Digweed KISS 100 radio show. Soon “Shine On” and “Cherry Flavor” where played in the world famous SPACE IBIZA from the hands of John Digweed itself. After that they signed those two tracks with Jason Jollins own label, Acute Records from NY.
Their last production “Playing with Expensive Toys” will be released in PISSED OFF the second half of this year.
From their releases Plass have already received critical acclaim from John Digweed, Habersham, Hyper, D:Fuse, Chris Fortier, Hernan Cattaneo & Martin Garcia, Jonathan Lisle (Bedrock), Steve Gerrard (Bedrock), Will Saul (Simple), Moshic, Anthony Pappa, Momu and many other djs around the whole globe.
The single we are going to BA with mixes of Dobbs ( Vision Music owner) on the flip where N°1 on sales in Beatport Breaks for two weeks. 'Treasure' also received recommended tune in IDJ with a score of 5/5. They have also played in some of the most recognized radios, as Proton Radio , Mercury Nation and Frisky Radio among others.-
Plass very own sound persistently change from track to track, but the feeling remains, and this constant need of moving forward is probably the most recognizable musical attribute of this two guys.
