About Me

before delving into crates and annoying the meow out of his cats' ears, silverio started into his music fandome as a massive heavy metal fan. when others popped in Van Morrison, old-school jazz or vintage soul on a sunday morning, he would be put in Sabbath, Pantera, Slayer, Fear Factory and Nine Inch Nails. in early ought-two, he eventually mellowed out (somewhat) and started buying REMIX and Sound on Sound. after buying a couple of decks and a bunch of vinyl, he eventually understood the concept of beatmixing, what differentiates deephouse from progressive house and how to segue from funk to hip-hop to rock and back to funk without anyone every noticing. two years later in ought-four, he got his first gig at a trendy club in madrid called stromboli. soon after, he moved onto a regular spot at the bohemian La Ventura on thursdays and after word got around quickly as to how good he was, la viuda--a chik, restaurant/bar styled after a NYC cool spot--sought him out as the resident DJ. he spent the next year as the resident DJ in charge of getting other hip DJs to play it out. he also engineered the sound system in the new Viuda Blanca. madrid was getting too small for this rising DJ and he realized in ought-five that he had better get to london to where all the action was happening before london missed out. he completed his audio-engineering degree in ought-six and has been back and forth to london getting his papers finalized before moving there to take it by storm in ought-six. be on the lookout for this up-and-comer. contrary to the pic on the left, he's one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. rock on...Kip Tobin (journalist/dj)
