About Me

Raul Rodriguez was born and raised in the biggest city of the world, Mexico City, where he started as dj in local underground party’s back in 1996. Eventually he began to gain the experience necessary to take him to play along with national and international figures such as Paul Van Dyk, Hard Floor, Dj coccyx, Praga Kan,Martin Parra and the list goes on. He studied music and arts for a short period at the national school of art, right before he moved on to United States. Once in Chicago his new home he decides to retake his carrier not only as dj but as producer; focusing on a blend between hard techno and Minimal. Becoming one of the very few Mexicans in the scene his dj sets became more challenging and entertaining opening at people such as Monoblock (Archipel) Camea (Clink Recordings)Marcos Romero, Angel Alanis,Sashmouth,Itzone and more. He went from two turntables to 3 and eventually 4 using samplers, digital hardware, and visual arts with the help of Lorena Padilla (Difusion Records C.E.O and Vj) o the . Raul invited few artists in the genre to be part of a new project called Difusion Records. This label focus on minimalistic sounds and arts that would be released digitally initially and physically in the near future. Zarbeat’s music can be consider as a party starter for his high content of beats and digital sequences crated and recreated live on the fly by himself. This Mexican on stage, as described by people, say he has been accepted by his public; and minimal masters consider him a passionate and true lover of non sense rhythms.Following his succes on his very first ep’s on Difusion Records Zabeat has been part of many Remixes and he will star a mini tour Around United States in 2009 as part of the promotion of his new EP on DIfusion Records.Raúl Rodríguez, Mejor conocido y desconocido como Zarbeat nació en la ciudad más grande del mundo (ciudad de México)donde comenzó su carrera musical como Dj en fiestas subterráneas y privadas en el ano de 1996 eventualmente estas fiestas y su estilo lo llevarían a tocar a eventos masivos en los cuales tocaría al lado de talentos nacionales e internacionales como: Paul Van Dyk, Hard floor, Dj coccyx y Praga kan,MArtin Parra entre otros ;Estudio musica en la escuela de bellas artes de México por un corto periodo antes de moverse a su nuevo hogar localizado en la ciudad de Chicago en Estados Unidos una vez ya establecido decide retomar su carrera no solo como dj sino también como productor concentrándose en una mezcla entre la música Techno y el estilo minimalista volviéndose uno de los pocos mexicanos en el ambiente de la escena electrónica en chicago; sus sets como dj se volvían más entretenidos abriendo para gente como Monoblock (Archipel) Camea (Clink Recordings)Marcos Romero, Angel Alanis,Sashmouth,Itzone posteriormente empieza a experimentar mezclando con tres hasta eventualmente cuatro torna mezas , samplers,computadoras y artes visuales con la ayuda de Lorena Padilla Difusion Records (C.E.O and Vj) posteriormente decide tomar la iniciativa d einvitar a varios artistas envueltos en la producción Minimal inicialmente el sello será de contenido digital y posteriormente sera convertido en algo fisico por medio de vinyles. La música de Zarbeat puede ser considerada subsequencial dado a sus altos contenidos de secuencias creadas al momento de arrancar su set y durante el, este mexicano en el stage como alguna vez le llamaron ha sido aceptado por el público y maestros mínimales considerado como una persona apasionada y verdadero amante de los ritmos sin sentido ,segido su exito de sus primeros Ep en Difusion Records zarbeat ha participado en varios remixes y en el 2009 empesara un tour en los Estados Unidos para promover su nuevo disco
