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...
