Biography

Trajectory

from Miramar, with an identity of its own.

Tomás Tassara is a DJ and producer, born in Mar del Plata in 1985 and based in Miramar, where since 2011 he has run Under Sounds — a project and a movement built around electronic music that has grown an identity of its own within the local scene.

Over the years his path as a DJ has been shaped by a constant search for new sounds and by a personal way of reading and carrying a room, with particular attention to selection, pacing and the way each set is built. He has shared the booth with national and international DJs, played many of the clubs along the Atlantic coast, and taken his sets to countries including Peru and Spain.

As a producer he has released music on a number of labels and continues to develop his own material. His work also extends to producing and curating events, where the aim is to create spaces where people meet around the music, and to build proposals with an identity of their own.

Hernán Cattáneo, Deep Dish and LCD Soundsystem at Southfest 2006 — the night that started it. Since then: the long-form progressive tradition of the Argentine coast, and the organic, atmospheric end of deep house.

Approach

Music that transmits — building atmosphere without losing the groove, and holding the room until the last record.
