Ketoloco Podcast 005: NICO PURMAN

Ketoloco Podcast Series

Nico Purman has kindly taken the time to create this wonderful two hour mix for our podcast ahead of his set at Ketoloco on Sunday 29th May. It's a real musical journey through all things house. You'll hear deeper grooves, electro vibes and acid sounds, separated by waves of layed back atmospheric bliss. Nico also throws in several of his own on-point productions. Born and raised in Rosario Argentina, Nico Purman has been roasting the proverbial marshmallows since he first started collecting records at 12 years old. Those days of innocence were filled with not-yet-freaky Michael Jackson, soon after tainted with the New Beat sound coming out of Belgium (with bands like Jade 4 U and Erotic Dissidents), before being completely corrupted by the fabled late 1980's Chicago Acid House movement. Once debased, Depeche Mode, Joy Division, and The Cure quickly followed all leaving their influences on Nico. At 17, Nico started to study percussion and played drums in local indie bands, recording in some of Buenos Aires' biggest studios. The experience left him with the taste of live performance and a deep understanding of rhythm, syncopation, and independence that only drumming can provide. With this classical insight into time and beat, Nico transitioned to vinyl and became one of Argentina's most respected DJ's. Armed with an expansive collection of music, he winds his audience through long hypnotizing sets of tough mood and movement, interlaced with selected loops and samples accentuating his motivational transfer. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- KETOLOCO DAYTIME TERRACE PARTY SUNDAY 29TH MAY // THE LIGHT BAR, LONDON 12midday -11pm Martinez, Sasse, Nico Purman, Craig Torrance Info/Tickets - http://www.residentadvisor.net/event.aspx?254438 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
