Mysterious cult figure, Leonel Castillo is the best-kept secret the Argentine electronic music scene has brought forward so far. An icon and at the same time virtually unknown, Leonel is one of the most prominent Latin American talents. Surfacing wherever it takes the vanguard talent, he’s been releasing music as Leonel Castillo and under various monikers – Arnold Slab, Boeing, Color Harmony, Myusyq, Pocket or Unknown Artista are some of his aliases – on labels as Telegraph, Ilian Tape, Airdrop, Greener, Sushitech and of course on his own imprint, Groovear. Constantly reinventing himself, Leonel Castillo manages to present his musical talent in an even more refined context every time one of his sought-after releases comes out, it´s impossible to predict his next steps. From remixing rock and pop giants such as Miranda!, Catupecu Machu and the Babasonicos, touring the States, to djing at underground club nights in his local “barrio” while finishing off his new releases, the Argentine artist has neither limits nor criteria which makes him so uttermost interesting and universal. Ranging from deep dub sounds to futuristic funk reminiscent of the earliest days, his music radiates acid and old school house of the boogiesque kind, paired with rockbottom grooves, which resonate the ancient spirit of early day techno while remaining absolutely timeless. Called into existence in 2005 by Leonel Castillo, Groovear was conceived as an outlet for his countless monikers and projects. Groovear was initally designed as a netlabel in order to share the immense amounts of music produced by Leonel. A few releases came out between '05 and '07 under his different monikers - Boeing, Dubjack or Unknown Artista. 5 years later, the label has finally prepared its vinyl moment, presenting all aspects and dimensions of Castillo's production. The first vinyl editions of his own Groovear label will cut those facts into deep wax - starting with "1974" and "Corriendo Al Cometa", two original unreleased numbers, on which Leonel develops his deep, hypnotic, techier and sometimes dubby sound.

Leonel Castillo is undoubtedly Argentina's most gifted producer. While his releases remain extremely rare, his daily creations keep adding and adding onto the thousands of tracks he produced over the past 20 years. On this very special artist EP - Leonel Castillo, the great engineer, sets some
intricate and complex rhythmics in motion, forging El Salon De Los Espejos into a highly feverish hotbox of a record. Get this right : no other man can devellop such elaborate and throbbing patterns as he does. From his lucious grooves featured on Sushitech, to the stripped aesthetics as heard on Illian Tape or even the Dubby Techno textures from his record last year on Greener - needless to say, Leonel covers a wide and complete musical range. Recently, Leonel Castillo was also featured on Resident Advisor's esteemed podcast series. On that occasion, he prepared close to 2 hours of his own unreleased productions only, under a live set format. A mixed recording about which followers commented wildly about for weeks. A true legend in his country, Leonel Castillo actually never crossed the Atlantic ocean to unveil his DJing and Live wonders to the old continent. A fact that will soon become outdated, as el maestro already prepares his ?rst tour for 2011. Also make sure to watch out for the ?rst release of his own label Groovear, which will be made available this Fall...

Following Spanish producer J.C’s debut 12”, label head Andres Zacco is back on his own Greener imprint, with a new format for this fifth release. Breaking from the usual two-tracker we got used to receive through Greener, here are four original numbers from the Argentine talent – a bare minimum to represent Zacco’s versatility. More

Back to back with Andres Zacco’s latest release, comes the ‘Voltage Control’ EP – the debut of Franco Cinelli’s new project: Psynote. Adopting a decidedly more electronic slant than for his eponymous productions, Cinelli presents here a selection of pieces that instantly seems to be coming from his most intimate sessions.

Andres Zacco's very own Greener imprint is back with a brand new 12" release. As you can already tell from the label's frequency in output (the last 12", Andres Zacco & Franco Cinelli's The Secret Mission EP came out in May 2011), Greener places its primary focus on quality, not quantity.For this fourth outing, Greener is glad to welcome J.C. – a young, up-and-coming producer from Madrid, who presents here his personal take on Techno. Both titles on The M-Theory EP put forward a fine mixture of unyielding, grounding rhythmic structures and mesmerizing synths, building into grand momentums. More

Following the soothing 'Landscapes Of The Future' compilation, featuring selected ambient works by Argentina's ?nest (Jonas Kopp, Gustavo Lamas, Leonel Castillo...) GREENER RECORDS is proud to present its ?rst split EP, with label boss ANDRES ZACCO and brother in soul FRANCO CINELLI. The Greener 12" releases come out on vinyl only, for the simple reason that they are speci?cally made for DJs, and this is exactly what this record is about. On the A side,ANDRES ZACCO devellops his ever expanding signature Techno sound. 'After That' is a lyrical incendiary device, which engraves Andres' production deeper in history. FRANCO CINELLI cuts the B side with 'Pattern 02 ', a magni?ciently low-layered track. Preview this one loud on a sturdy system! This is an ultimate utensil, to be arranged and rearranged within a set, highly reminiscent of some late '90s / early '00s minimalism. As we said in the beginning, this is a true DJ's phonograph, on which both sides can be dropped and again at different moments of a set.

GREENER RECORDS was founded in January 2008 by Andrés Zacco. The label is the channel through which Andres expresses his vision about techno music. It was also created for the purpose of bringing together his close family of fellow artists who share a similar style and approach to music: Lucas Mari, Franco Cinelli, Leonel Castillo or Lineas De Nazca. As part of the most exciting wave of Argentinean producers, ANDRES ZACCO manages to stun his faithful audience with a vast array of productions, remixes and his gripping DJ sets. For his live performances, Andrés is one of the core members of the Live Jam sessions, where along his friends Franco Cinelli, Leonel Castillo, Jonas Kopp, Seph, Jorge Savoretti and Lucas Mari, he creates a unique live experience. This new record, DRAWING CLOUDS, focuses on the raw techno aspect of Andrés' production. Never forgetting the more dubby textures and winding electrics so dear to the Argentine master of wizardry, he creates yet another enthralling landscape right at the first seconds of the title track. As the maelstrom wraps around your mind, the unbeatable rhythms and fast-pace of the flip SPACE MOUNTAIN wallop your body for a tremendous trek. Following the extremely favorable outcome of Greener's first 12", Leonel Castillo's "El Niño", ANDRES ZACCO pictures here the kind of journey we could only wish no end for More
