SAND STARR CAMILO: Maestro - Larry Levan & early DJ culture 1/9

Bio

'It was an easy life, really, the life of a free Music Experimentalist . You got to travel from system to system, stopping off at stations and colonies, transporting goods and materials. You made new friends every week, saw new places every month, watched the stars shimmer through the viewport and allowed the sight to lull you to sleep on the long voyages. The tokens were good and you got to make your own hours.'

His Dj sets are difficult to pigeonhole. The music he and his crew (Clicks N' Claps) plays are emotionally involving. From Makonde over Ladytron to Larry Heard, Larry Levan and Martinez, music has to touch emotionally. He seamlessly joins the dots between disco, breaks, grooves, hip hop, Italo, electro, house and techno.

This is evident when he DJ's and in his live sets.

“Hit that perfect beat Sandstar aka Camilo drives the punters absolutely mad with his genre blend. With Hard Jackin’ wicked selections, Camilo is a talent that puts forward sets that are the epitome of what djing is about- passion, amazing tunes and a pair of hands capable of the most nimble mixing. Consistently wowing crowds with his technically brilliant, distinctly unique mixing style, and energy behind the decks; his sets are always fresh, original, This ensures that Dj Pierre Rongert Camilo stands out from the rest.”
