Disco Data Podcast VOL.14 Feat. Señor Peludo
Welcome back to the "Disco Data Podcast'.
This month we have a guest mix from Señor Peludo.
Originally a UK based dnb and breaks DJ, he began branching into other genres of music after moving to the USA and starting his own club night. With diverse and esoteric tunes, and a vibe inspired by UK festivals, 'Sunken Disco' was a successful effort to combat the dominance of sleazy top-40 events in his city.
Since then, Peludo lived and DJ'd in Germany for a while and has also played many sets at the Burning Man festival in Nevada.
He's currently splitting his time between Stockholm and London and can't wait to get DJing again in both cities and beyond, once this Covid business blows over.
Peludo used to livestream on NSB radio and Twitch pretty regularly but after becoming a Dad last year, his evenings now involve less rocking-the-decks and more rocking-the-baby.

1. Amant - Hazy Shades of Love (mikeandtess edit)
