About me

When it comes to the fastest rising stars on the electro scene, it’s hard to resist the Barretso chill. This technically proven Chilean has been hard at work over recent months teasing and tickling us with his fantastic remix skill, having proved himself on re-rubs for the likes of Justice, Monomen and Astro. Along with the rest of the world, we’re yet to find out much more about this crafty Chilean, but sometimes mystery makes things all that much hotter. It sure worked on the team at TUFFEM UP Records, as they snapped him up without too much adieu and have had a taste of his first original material. He’s busily locked away in his super-secret underground bunker (think 007 type vibes), where he’s toiling away on material for his debut EP, which will be out on TUFF EM UP in February 2010, followed by his maiden journey to blow clubs across Oz into the outer galaxy.
