guest deejay:
EDUARDO CASTILLO (The Eclectech / VOODOO)
dj/composer/producer/sound designer--- Graduate University of Miami - Bachelor of Arts- Composition, Music Technology and Vocal/Operatic Performance. Eduardo’s music encompasses his depth in the study of the industry and influences stemming from a South American and European upbringing with roots in Venezuela, Cuba, and New York City. Having lived over half a decade in both Miami and New York City, provided Eduardo with invaluable collaborations in productions from pop to classical genres and Off-Broadway shows.

Eduardo uses a subtle ethnomusicologist’s approach to music. His record collection reads like a dense music history textbook. In fact his eclecticism is quite enticing. Sounds of Jazz, Avant –Garde, Middle Eastern, South American,Afro-Cuban folk, Soul, Funk, and electronic minimalism, can be heard in his compositions, his singing, his dj sets, and his playing of instruments, whether in their pure form or intertwined with down, mid and up-tempo electronic treatments.

Ultimately, simplicity is what Eduardo strives for. An effort is always made to have a fresh organic sound while inevitably providing touches of technological advances affecting music today, never overwhelmingand always sophisticated and tasteful.

New York certainly exposed Eduardo to a world of electronic music that would eventually shape his evolution as a composer. Djing residencies at hotel and club settings aided in the understanding of his role as a music selector and crowd pleaser. Eduardo currently heads the sound design and music department for mun2 television, a latin music television network owned by NBC-Universal. Eduardo also is the Director of Music and Talent for Palisades Development Group, curating and booking talent for its currently operating boutique properties, the Custom Hotel and Palihouse Hotel in Los Angeles. He continues to be heavily involved with his own personal musical projects, djing, as well as scoring and sound designing for commercial and cinematic projects.
