Lujo Prado

Describing himself as an art and music lover since an early age, Luis José started with the desire to be involved with music when he started to explore the world of singing in 2005, 5 years later he got his hands on a turntable and the passion for djing and sharing music has been a constant since then. He started a journey that has helped him evolve and discover his own style, getting influences from producers and dj´s such as Fred Everything, Homework, Detroit Swindle, Güi Boratto, Robert Babicz, Cuartero, Pika, Jimmy Luna, Keko among many others. The Guatemalan underground scene has been his home base for this journey. Playing in different venues since the start of his career, in 2011 got the opportunity to be one of the resident djs in The Box Lounge Groove, flagship venue of the electronic music scene in Guatemala, his residency continues till this day. Playing in this colorful venue got the perk of crossing paths with some of the most influential djs in the scene, that got him to share booth with Gonzo-Gonzo founder of Danzón Nights and Sunsets, together alongside Mike Maraus they formed Danzón Pérez in late 2012 , a cultural and musical movement with the objective of supporting independent artists as well as promoting events. That gave Lujo the opportunity to share turntables with dj´s such as Rick Wade, Doc Martin, Hector Moralez, Bastard Love, Franck Roger, Andy Martin, Thee Cool Cats, K.E.E.N.E. and many more. Naturally the curiosity for production began with time and he did his first collaboration with Panamanian duo K.E.E.N.E. in Danzon Records EP Sal Si Puedes in 2015.
