Niko Mayer

NIKO MAYER began his musical career in the mid 90s, during his teenage years. He learned to play the guitar, and was part of a well-known power metal band as well as performing in some school´s and club parties. Shortly after that, Xai Xai disco brought him and Zafa Alvear -an extremely well known DJ at that time - together. After that, he began to break through in electronic music becoming one of the youngest and most wanted DJs in Northern Buenos Aires where he started his explosive career as a Progressive and House DJ. NIKO based his “progressive” influences on Underworld, Hernan Cattaneo, Sasha, Digweed, Warren and his “House” upon Franky Knucles, Tenaglia and Lee Burridge. His house sets were quickly heard in several spots of Argentinean top seaside cities, including the popular Ufo Point beach afternoons at Pinamar, and the Le Brique Vip dancefloor night at Villa Gesell. For a long period of time, Niko Mayer was in charge of the Deep Blue Buenos Aires booth and featured at multiple Mechanical Fests. Among other electronic parties, we heard Niko and his unique style at Far Far Away, Spring Night, Perfect Exceeder and Summer Sessions. He also played at Ford 100 Years (at Luna Park Stadium), at Trilenium Casino, Jet Lounge, Pacha BA, Clubland, Kika. Since 2006, we can listen to his sets in radio (KSK, with Nicholas van Norton), shows (Kozmic3, Star to be and Balkanian at Proton Radio with Sudam) and also in TV (FTV Channel). After all these years of hard work he earned his place in the Argentinean progressive house scene leaving his mark in several electronic parties and sharing the booth with both local and international well-known artists. Nowadays he is part of Hope Recordings (Nick Warren's Label) Dopamine, Sudam and Balkan Connection South America Label. Some of his tracks such as “Last House in BsAs” and “SMERILLO”, were selected by Hernan Cattaneo for his sets. NIKO is currently working in some productions and soundtracks for international movies,like "De Martes a Martes", features films, advertising and series.
