Biography: (ENG)

Ignacio Perez began his career as a DJ in Caracas, Venezuela, in 2001. Before that he had been active as a musician (drummer) with a strong funk influence. He entered the Caracas underground circuit where he began to mix professionally, taking his first steps in this area after being exposed to the London Acid Techno, sound that after a while changed his course when his interest turned more into Techno: (Groove, Electro, Tech House and Hard Techno sounds coming from Central, Northern and other parts of Europe). From then on he became one of the most important Venezuelan DJs in this musical gender, something which he gradually developed from the Old School sounds to the latest actual tendencies.

In the present time his public appearances are characterized by the positive response of the audience to his rather refined techniques. His sound is basically techno and distinguishes itself for being both progressive and varied. It goes from the purest of sounds with groove, rhythmic and atmospheric influences and travels to upper levels with a hard and outstanding sound. It results in creating an ambiance of rapport and good vibes with the audience.

On September, 2001, at the beginning of his career, together with a group of DJ friends he founded the “ITR Crews” (In-culture Techno Recordings), a Techno Djs Collective: doubtlessly one of the most respected and well known in Venezuela. From its beginnings, Ignacio (INPULSE a.k.a. Nach) has done a lot of performances across his native country by participating in musical events at different cities: Caracas, Valencia, Maracay, Maracaibo, Puerto La Cruz, Porlamar, Margarita Island, Barquisimeto, Merida, Puerto Ordaz, Cabimas, Barinas, La Victoria among others.

It is important to say that he never totally abandoned his liking for other musical trends. That is the reason why he kept on mixing other styles like Drum & Bass, Jungle, Breakbeats, Electro, Chill out, Dub, etc. This is where he stood out and consolidated as a versatile DJ.

In 2004 he became resident DJ in a local club called “Birrabar” where he stayed for a whole year. Later on, in 2006, he went on to become resident DJ at a new place called “The Stage Club” where he worked alongside prominent performers such as Dave the drummer, James Kinetec, Ant and others. From 2007 until January 2009 he was resident DJ of “Siete Lounge Bar” where he mixed an average of 4-5 hours in each session.

In 2005 Ignacio had entered the scene of Drum & Bass as DJ Nach without giving up his allegiance to Techno. In 2006, however, with two very close friends, Topojungle and Native, he founded the Collective “Altos Crew” of Drum & Bass. They began to be known amongst the Drum & Bass scene in Caracas and participated in live events such as “Bazooka” and the parties’ cycle called “Bassilon” which lasted until 2007.

That same year, thanks to his dedication and persistence he was granted support from the prestigious international brand of shoes and clothing called ETNIES. He then projected his image through his public appearances, participating as DJ in special shows and events where this brand was being promoted and henceforth succeeds in obtaining support for various shows of the “Bassilon” cycle with the Collective “Altos Crew.”

Also in 2007 he was selected with a group of forty other DJs to participate in the VENEZUELA LOVE PARADE. However, due to some severe logistic flaws, together with a group of close to thirty DJs he withdrew from participating in this event.

Immediately thereafter he began to become known internationally. He played at the club “Azulee” in South Beach, Florida thanks to an invitation of the Sobebeats Collective in Miami. Being there in Miami he was also invited to play a live DJ set in the famous Web Radio Page TheWomb.com. In 2008, through “Forward Loop Bookings” he gave two performances in Bogota, Colombia. One of these at “La Sala”, a well known club of the city.

It is important to point out that he entered as well the Chill out and Lounge musical scene while working with some important Venezuelan Advertisement agencies, mixing for various corporation events for well known local and international brands such as: The 25th Anniversary of Belmont cigarettes (The Bigott Company, 2008); the presentation of a new commercial image for Kent cigarettes (Bigott); a new collection of paints (Pinturas de Venezuela); Bodegas Codorniu ,Caracas (Alfonso Rivas & Company), among others.

Ignacio’s work has been reviewed and commented in publications such as: RumbaCaracas.com magazine, El Universal (daily newspaper), Enter magazine, Al Maximo magazine and various others national and international Web sites as well as several local radio programs.

Alongside with his DJ career, between 2002 and 2007, he produced various events as promoter, doing some Techno music events in conjunction with local and international DJs. Some of these that are worth mentioning were: Techno machines, The Blackout Project, Artefakts, Innerground, Alianze, 5lin, Underground Workers, etc. This is just a sample list of certain shows and musical events that have left in the Venezuelan public a deep impression of quality, discipline, resourcefulness and creativity that the ITR Collective vanguard was capable of producing throughout the years.

Currently, Ignacio is in a transition period. Since the end of January, 2009, he moved to one of the most important centers of electronic music in Europe: Barcelona, Spain, with the precise aim of projecting his professional image at yet another international level and at the same time with the idea in mind to focus on his next personal development goal: Electronic Music Production.
