Ariel

London, United Kingdom

A professional DJ from the age of 15, Ariel has to date held a total of 32 successive club residencies since his beginning in the city of Rosario in 1983. Starting up as a young teenager DJ playing to weekly crowds of thousands of people in the characteristically large purposed built Argentinean nightclubs of the 1980’s era, Ariel relocated to Europe in 1991 to further continue his career holding key residencies at some of London’s major clubs which includes: Bagley’s Film Studios, Fabric, Limelight, Turnmills, Heaven, Area, The End and more across the continent.
Ariel was first signed by A&M Records, more releases and remixes followed on London Records, EMI, Ministry Of Sound and other major and underground labels.
Well known for closing the gay/straight clubbing divide, Ariel doesn’t just play records, he creates a unique atmosphere with them, bringing together different styles of music by accentuating the African and Latin polyrhythms that are the trademark of his sound.
