_Part 1 of our Cocoon Easter Weekend

_Ricardo Villalobos

One of the original instigators of the microhouse and Latin-infused minimal techno genres, Ricardo Villalobos began djing in his native Chile in the early 90s honing his unique take on electronic music to create the original sound he is widely-revered for today. Villalobos’ productions also typify his Chilean roots and have been credited with breathing a fresh perspective into a flailing scene with key releases on Playhouse, Perlon, Contexterrior, Cocoon and his own Sei Es Drum label. Quickly gaining notoriety and credit amongst his peers, notably Sven Vath and Richie Hawtin, Villalobos soon joined rank and became a figurehead of the international electronic community, headlining festivals and clubs across the world. Join System and Cocoon as we welcome a rare UK appearance from one of the most in-demand and critically acclaimed djs of our times.
