Emilio is a multidisciplinary artist who does live music and DJ’ing. He’s also loves learning new software and works on large light production setups for festivals and smaller venues. In addition, Emilio runs his own record label, Purple Purple, which doubles as a creative studio. He started making electronic music at the age of 13 or 14 and has always had a desire to create events.

Having been at Contact for almost a year, Emilio enjoys the sense of community and the connections he’s made here.

Currently, he’s focused on music and Purple Purple, and performanced live at Paradiso last weekend during Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE). He is now preparing for his biggest event to date—a party for Chevere (his events brand) featuring producers L.F.T. and Druum.

His fascination with machines began as a kid in Ecuador, when he started making music with a basic computer. The drive behind his events is rooted in nurturing homegrown, DIY projects and making seemingly difficult things happen. Emilio also enjoys discovering new talent and helping them grow as artists.

His favourite project he has done to date was his collaboration with other Contact member Nick Verstand for the Dutch label Nous’klaer Audio, where he created visual installations paired with a light show for their event.
