LWE Podcast 30: Santiago Salazar

With the Underground Resistance headquarters as his incubation unit and Mike Banks as mentor, it is no surprise Santiago Salazar’s career has developed in the way that it has. He first appeared in 2001 under the moniker S2 and popped up intermittently over the next few years, sharing vinyl space with Dex from Los Hermanos, also undertaking edits and mixes for UR. Before long he was asked to join Los Hermanos and be a part of the UR Galaxy 2 Galaxy project. His Ican label with friend Esteban Adame has been going strong for the past few years while 2009 has seen the launch of the feverishly infectious Historia y Violencia imprint with Juan Mendez. Little White Earbuds tracked down Mr. Salazar to tap his brain for more information on collaborations, being a part of the techno version of Parliament and the importance of dancing to your own tracks. In addition, Santiago helms our exclusive 30th podcast which is full of slamming (and often unreleased) techno cuts that’ll have S2 fans drooling. Read More...
