Patagonian electronic music artist, Ezequiel Arias took an intensive course in electronic music production and composition with Kevin Di Serna in 2013 – Di Serna proved to be a great influence.
Since then Arias has firmly established himself as a global phenomenon – one of the most innovative figures in Argentina’s next wave of talent.
His latest productions have been released on high profile labels such as Sudbeat Music, Plattenbank Records, The Soundgarden, Replug Records and Suara Music with the constant support of DJs like Hernán Cattáneo, Nick Warren, Khen, Sahar Z, Eelke Kleijn, Guy Mantzur and Graziano Raffa just to name a few. Regarded as one of 2017’s best tracks, Ezequiel’s interpretation of ‘Tell Me’ by Galestian & Mira J enjoyed an unprecedented six-month long stay in Beatport’s Progressive House Tracks chart.
For almost a decade, Arias has been closely associated with some of the most prominent brands in the circuit, including Bedrock, Anjunadeep, and Sudbeat. His DJ sets mirror the arcs of his productions: carefully constructed experiences that reveal themselves gradually, guided by an intuitive sense of progression. It’s this approach that has earned him stages at Anjunadeep festivals, KOKO (London), Balance Festival (Croatia), AMK (Buenos Aires), Metropolitano (Rosario), and warm-up honours for Hernán Cattáneo.
Ezequiel has proven time and again his capacity to craft music with emotional weight and timeless appeal. From ‘Solar’ to ‘Mui’ and on to the Beatport chart-topping ‘Perfect Dream’ and ‘Low Tide (Ezequiel Arias Remix)’, each composition stretches beyond the dancefloor and rewards repeated listening.
In Argentina he is positioned as one of the main artists of the genre, allowing him to appear in the country’s most important clubs and venues such as Forja, BNP Club, The Bow, La Boite, Bahrein, Jet (Desert In Me), Dahaus, Dorian Gray, and Niceto Club – and this week, The Backroom, Byron Bay.
