DJ/Producer GLOW, Washington D.C. resident GLOW Radio producer
Born in Arlington, Virginia, Roberto Gonzalez first discovered electronic music at DC’s legendary Zei Club—a moment that sparked a self-taught journey on his brother’s turntables and launched a career defined by precision, versatility, and consistently powerful performances.
Roberto’s “gigography” reads like a tour of DC nightlife’s most iconic stages: Chroma, Dream, Spank at MCCXXIII, Ultrabar, Lima, Josephine, Glow at Fur, Echostage, Soundcheck, and Identity Festival at Jiffy Lube Live. His long-standing residency with Glow solidified him as a cornerstone of the scene, with Echostage management regularly turning to Roberto as the go-to opener and supporting act for the biggest nights of the year.
That trust has translated into an impressive roster of supporting slots. Roberto has shared stages with many of dance music’s elite—including Tiësto, Armin van Buuren, Kaskade, Cosmic Gate, David Guetta, Audien, Zedd, Hardwell, and more. His ability to set the perfect tone for headliners has made him one of the most reliable and respected openers in the region.
His achievements extend well beyond DC: Roberto performed three years back-to-back on Cosmic Gate’s yacht parties during Ultra Music Conference Week, opened for Kaskade in Las Vegas, hosted GLOW Radio on XM Radio, and released original music signed to the Manufactured Superstars’ label. His productions have earned attention and support from major players across the industry.
Driven, polished, and uniquely in tune with the crowd, Roberto Gonzalez continues to be a defining force in East Coast dance music.
