Biography of Figueroa

Real name / David Figueroa
Moniker(s) / DJ Trent, Buzzytrent

Figueroa is probably the main name on the underground Techno and House scene of Colombia. Born and raised in this beautiful country and now based in London he's the head of "Malicious Smile records" and "Funkshovel" along with his partner Obando.

In the last years he has created a distinct sound that blends the energy of Techno so perfectly with all the colors of House music. His amazing 3 decks DJ set has led him to play in the best clubs from Colombia and featured in some festivals overseas and his productions have always had great support from names like: Dubfire, Richie Hawtin and Marco Carola.

The very first approach to electronic music was through some 90's dance tapes he used to listen while studying, this was the spark for his idea to create mind stories and make the people dance at the same time. Around 1999 he turned into rock music and learned to play the guitar, he spent about two years playing with his band and recording demos, by that time the electronic scene was growing in his country and he find himself again caught between the beats. After becoming a regular raver he achieved a vast collection of records and influences and decided to definitely turn music into his lifestyle, so he learnt to play the turntables and started making his own beats, soon he became a favorite and started playing at mayor events as a warmer for the international artists but the audience pushed him to the main stage. Actually his sound flows between the best of the Chicago essence and the dark and strong groove of modern techno, leaving no space for complaints.
