Born in Buenos Aires in 1975, Baunder -unlike many others- didn..t get nurtured by music from within his family circle in his early age.
It took him years of research to get hooked up by music as a whole, and electronica in particular.
At that time, house music wasn..t mainstream, and thus, got little air play on radio stations, so the only alternative was to buy records.
Artists such as Coldcut, Mickey Oliver, Hithouse, Frankie Knuckles and Todd Terry got him finally hooked.
He got his first set of decks at the age of 14, and that inspired him to become a DJ in school parties and tiny pubs.
Still, he had to play anything from Madonna to Prince to get the parties going, but he always found a way to mix some of his most loved records.
His first keyboard was to arrive just one year later, and that..s when he began to be interested in production. That word that was so hard to understand at first, became his new obsession.
His music influences drifted, and a new label became his main reference, Tribal America & UK.
Murk & Danny Tenaglia as the label..s biggest artists, showed him how he could fuse house music, with his other passion... reggae & dub. A big thick bassline, a rather simple beat and spacey grooves, instantly became his sound of choice.
Armed with that same keyboard and a newly bought sampler, he began editing tracks and remixing them for his own pleasure.
He found himself spending more time making music than anything else, so he decided to try and work on original tracks.
He never showed those to anyone -aside friends and family- until he gain some confidence, by playing them in pubs and clubs, and watching the crowd..s response.
In 2002, he moved to Spain in search for a career in the music business.
That..s when he started making contacts with big name DJs and producers, and got interesting feedback from his tracks in return.
His tracks got played and charted by artists such as Hernan Cattaneo, Satoshi Tomiie, Paul Van Dyk, Steve Gerrard, Jonathan Lisle, & Dave Seaman to name a few.
His first record came out in 2004 via Segment Records, and even though it wasn..t a hit, labels started contacting him for remixes and new contracts.
In 2006 he moved back to Buenos Aires, where he was invited to play at the VIP tent in Creamfields.
Throughout 2007, he worked with his friend Oliverio, under their new guise: Soundexile.
With just a couple of tracks released, they..ve been getting awesome support from Hernan Cattaneo, Sasha, Anthony Pappa and D-Nox to name a few.
He co-hosts a monthly show in internet..s biggest radio station, Proton Radio, with his friend Gerardo Boscarino.
And basically...that..s the story so far.
Stay tuned for more.
