Aztek 732 (Mexico City, MEXICO)

Genre:Latin Hip Hop

Put someone as an example to try to explain how the music of Aztek 732 is, would be useless. He created the Mexican freestyle category. At least in Mexico, there is no one single disc jockey like him, but there are djs trying to make things the way he does. Known by his ability to let the crowds know at what time does the party begin, but not at what time are they going to end it, this dj has built his reputation with scratches, turntables and a growing horde of fans that do not get tired of dancing. His mixes of hip hop, cumbia, funk, disco, latin breaks, old school and some other disparate genres, guarantee that even the most reluctant is going to show off those dance steps that, until then, thought inexistent.This turntablist does not have microwave ready music sets. He does not push play and then pretend to interact with the controllers. Nor is dedicated only wear down top 40 songs. He knows that the reason of the party are the assistants, who decided that being at the show was the best of all of the entertainment options they had. And this people expect to be amazed by his latest mash-up. Aztek builds his performances according to the moves and attitude of the audience, cause he understands that the same kind of music can have different effects on different crowds.About how Aztek 732 reached the head of so many bashes, it has been told that graffiti pushed him into turntablism. From there it took him only a few steps to jump into the ears of the thousands of chilangos (people born in Mexico City) that have enjoyed his remixes. Of course, his mainstay has been Mexico City. Try to build an inventory of the venues that Aztek has covered all over the city would result in a many pages report. If someone were willing to choose among all of them, it would be priority to point out the forum Pasagüero, the Spanish American Festival of Music Vive Latino and the Lunario of the National Auditorium.But the talent of this export quality chilango has not only remained within the Great Tenochtitlan. Besides of being on constant tour around mexican cities such as Guadalajara, Cancun or Oaxaca, to name a few, he has brought his musical curatorship to New York, New Jersey, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and Caracas. With this cover letter, he spent all the second quarter of 2014 on his european tour. There, he brought the house down in cities like Barcelona, Paris, Munich, Berlin, Innsbruck...This disc jockey has successfully hosted parties for many media and brands such as Vice News, Sprite, Redbull, Nike, NBA, DC Shoes, Spotify, Rane and dozens of others. About collaborations, the list is not less extensive. It is essential to mention Los Ángeles Azules, La Sonora Dinamita (both major legends of the Latin American music), Maldita Vecindad (an insignia Mexican rock band), Delinquent Habits, Toy Selectah, Pato Machete (both founders of Control Machete, the group that leaded the Mexican hip hop explosion during the nineties) and La Vieja Guardia, a rap collective in which he also participates.He knows that the public is there to have a good time. From the rotation of his turntables to his music selection, Aztek 732 directs everything to the exact rhythm the party needs.
