Hernan Cattaneo biography:

For some DJs, music is more than just their passion or
occupation its the reason for their existence, the thing
that keeps their world turning. Across his three-decade

journey through music, the legendary South American
DJ has lived his life through the music that inspires him;
inspiring thousands of electronic music lovers across the
globe in the process. As a respected label owner and
producer, Cattaneos creative output remains as plentiful
as ever. In just two years, his Sudbeat label has risen up
as a leading light in melodic electronic music regularly
releasing material from names like Guy J, Henry Saiz,
Nick Warren and Danny Howells. Hernans own tracks
have provided other highlights in the labels growing
discography and is currently working on many studio
projects.

A resident at the UKs longest running weekly event
The Gallery @ Londons Ministry of Sound, Hernans
DJ passport is stamped with the most respected dance
events on the planet.

Blessed with a deeply ingrained knowledge of house
music and its many electronic roots, Hernans own DJ
journey can be traced back to the mid-80s in Buenos
Aires. Fascinated by pioneering synth-pop and post-punk
bands like Depeche Mode and New Order, Cattaneo soon
became consumed by imported 12s from the likes of
Frankie Knuckles, Derrick May and Inner City.
Before long, the young music lovers instinctive desire
to DJ and share this new found love of Chicago and
Detroit based sounds had lead him to his first and now
legendary residency at Buenos Aires Clubland.

Club giants Cream soon recruited Cattaneo as their South

American resident and were impressed enough to install
him as international resident at Cream Liverpool & Ibiza.
Rapidly gaining a taste and skill for the larger stage,
Hernan soon followed with appearances at festivals like
Nevadas legendary Burning Man as well as key debuts
at European institutions like Homelands, Bedrock, Pacha
and Fabric. By the time, Hernan had mixed Perfectos first
international mix CD South America volume he was
confirmed as one of those rare DJs able to transform the
DJ set into a true art form. Each individual set became a
complex voyage through genres, emotions and sound.

Both a true DJs DJ and a peoples favourite, Hernans
popularity has spiralled in the years since. Cattaneo
stands proud as a DJ, producer and ambassador of the
highest pedigree. From John Digweeds standard bearing
Bedrock imprint to ManchesterŽs Hacienda Records or the
legendary Ministry of Sound, a host of electronic musics
most pioneering labels have all called on Hernans studio
skills at some point over the past years. He is also one of
a select breed of DJs to have enjoyed more than a decade
in the DJ Magazine Top 100 poll.

Known for his love of all music, regardless of genre,
Hernans unique ability to weave stories from sounds
are also responsible for some of the most celebrated mix
CDs of recent years. Back in 2005, it spoke volumes on
Hernans rising stock that he was hand-picked to succeed
DJ legends like John Digweed, Deep Dish and Sasha
on the aptly named Masters series.. Widely loved and
acclaimed, his individual mix shifted seamlessly through
genres and was coloured with both the rich seam of melody and lush lulling groove that his fans have come to love and know him for.
