LUIJO BiOGRAPHY
Luis José Del Castillo Rivera, Luijo, is a DJ based in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, that has been delivering less commercial forms of house and techno since 2002. He focuses on quality and sophistication. His sound is described as arcane, eclectic and involving. His mixes are best known for being masterful and storytelling. His powerful delivery of rare and elegant music is his well-known signature. Luijo is the mayor Deep Techno, Dub Techno, and Progressive House forerunner in his country. Currently, he performs worldwide.
Luijo’s music is mostly inspired by nature. For him, music is the perfect linkage between the listener and his environments. He constructs a unique atmosphere that can be the perfect start off, as well as the peak time outbreak, envisioning a flawless combination between a core full of crispy and dubby sounds and smooth minimal touches around the edges.
Luijo passed through various styles of music since an early age, such as Classical, Jazz, Baroque, Rock and Heavy Metal, receiving guitar lessons accordingly. For several years, he studied music composition and gained acceptance to the National Conservatory of Music.
It was at the age of 14 when everything took another path. For the first time he heard two of the most influential albums in his career: John Digweed’s MMII and Danny Howell’s GU: 24/7. The sexy-dark tunes automatically captivated his attention, and the next day he was already managing to have a better understanding of a DJ’s significance. Collecting records, crate digging and learning about computer-based music became his major hobby. He soon proceeded to learn how to use vinyl, all in the same year. His record collection now holds more than a thousand vinyls, from house and techno to classical and piano solo.
Soon after, he had his first attempts of exposing his DJ abilities in friends’ parties from time to time, gaining recognition as time passed. Later on he started to play in most venues, expanding his DJ capabilities and gaining experience on how to handle larger crowds. In the years 2003-2004 he collaborated as a volunteer with 97.5 FM Radio “Sonido Tribal” which earlier evolved as Visionario Radio Show, with guest mixes featuring underground house and techno.
He became widely popular with online radio performance. Since 2006, his mixes have spread across Germany, Australia, United States, Argentina, Canada, France, Poland, Japan, Colombia, Russia, England, Spain, Lithuania and Italy.
