Alejandro Vivanco - Microtechno Podcast

What this episode covers

On this new episode of Microtechno Podcast we are proud to present a session with a close friend, this time we brought you a session with one of Chile’s most talented electronic music artists, the Dj and Producer Alejandro Vivanco. Alejandro was born in Viña del Mar, and since his early childhood, he developed an interest in music, as his father used to play tenor sax and owned a huge jazz records collection. At the early age of 7 years, he used to spend many hours in front of the stereo. Later, when he became a teenager, he started playing electric guitar in several school bands, influenced by the music of bands like Sonic Youth, Jesus & Mary chain and Pixies, among others. Then In 1993, he, and three friends created the band "Pequeñas Particulas”, a cult band in the underground scene of Valparaiso where he played the bass for 7 years. Meanwhile, around 1996 he started to have an affinity for sound experimentation, that affinity lead him to start developing a close relationship with machines, and conduced him to create his solo project called Telepong, project that had a strong influence from the sounds of Detroit and Acid House. As he walked the path of electronic music, he got attracted to the emerging Chilean electronic scene and made him take a step ahead to turntables. That pavemented his career as a DJ and in 2001 earned him a residency in “Club La Feria” Chile’s battle horse Club, and where he still plays. In terms of his music style, he define’s it in simple words as "precise rythms with radical sound contrasts and evolving rich grooves.” In terms of his discography, Alejandro has released in some of the best labels around, and it wouldn't be fair to mention just a few, so at this time we'll recommend you visiting his full discography at discogs (link bellow). Alejandro is continuously working on delivering amazing music, so keep an eye on his profile as there are always new releases from his music factory, and certainly they will be available at your closest electronic music vinyl store. We hope you enjoy this new fine release from Microtechno Podcast.
