TOBY HOLGUIN - Colombia - Tribal & Electro House

Book this DJ

Toby Holguín is a young artist from Colombia who's always been involved in the music scene. His career started in his native city Cali, when as a lead singer in bands such as '27 de Marzo' where he released his first tracks like “Solo Sonaba” through Radioactiva 93.1 FM. He continued with other bands like 'La Bañera de Chloe', and a electronic duo called Modular Fix, which came about when he arrived in Miami.

Toby has had the opportunity to present his live acts in places like New York, Miami, Newark & Atlantic City in New Jersey, Philadelphia, Boston, Barcelona, Sao Paulo, Río de Janeiro, Tel Aviv, among others, turning him into one of the best DJs in Colombia.

In the electronic scene he´s produced his own album in duo with French producer Olivier Berger using the moniker Ashbury & Haight, released through Universal Mexico in 2005 and Universal Brasil in 2006, progressing to a recent new album based on remixes. The 'REmixed' album was released through Shock Magazine in Colombia having a distribution of 15,000 copies. He also did a dj mixed compilation for Universal in 2005 called electrohousepunk01. He's has had the opportunity to remix artists such as Juanes, Estefano, and Johnny Dread and appear in exclusive compliations for Vale Music, Ministry of Sound, and Tommy Boy Records.

Recently he's launched his first fusion rock album 'Guerrero con Boca de Jaguar'. In this album you can appreciate the fusion of electronic and rock music with bits of Colombian folklore instruments like the "gaita" and "birimbao". This is a very daring production which combines experimental sounds with more popular known styles that people can palette. In this production you may hear the excellent guitar picks of Alejandro Gómez Cáceres (ex-Aterciopelados) and Dave Karmiol, Pedro Alonso (sessionist violinist of Bacilos), and Mayte Montero (live instrumentalist for Carlos Vives). Also very keen mix-downs by Richard Blair (sidestepper).

Guerrero con Boca de Jaguar has a distribution in Colombia for 30.000 copies distributed by SHOCK magazine nationally. The best known music magazine amongst music lovers in Colombia. It will be distributed initially in Colombia, the United States, Puerto Rico and later on Mexico.

He is now working on albums like Aereoplano “Cero Gravedad” produced by Luis Salazar, “Guerrero Remixed”, and his next solo album “Chamanes de Experiencia” produced by himself and Marcello Azevedo. He is also resident dj at ChaCha Club and La Sala in Bogota.
