Dimensions 008: Ofo Nunez & Raffa Verdial Today!


Its that time of the month where Dimensions goes on air on the famous Online Radio Station, Proton Radio. For the first hour is a set I recorded at the Istmo Music Nights party with the Thrillseekers, really technoish music. Our guest mix comes from a great friend from Honduras, Raffa Verdial. Ive had the chance of sharing the decks with him in the past in San Pedro Sula, Honduras and on the famous Sunjam Utila Festival. Giving a great dose of electronic beats ranging through the different spectrum of the house/minimal genre he delivers an astonishing 2 hour set for today's guest mix.

Hope you can tune today at 4pm El Salvador time/6pm EST on Proton Radio for a 3 hour dose of Dimensions. To learn more from our guest mix today I leave you with Raffa Verdial's Biography.
Thanks for your support,
Ofo

Guest Mix: Raffa Verdial (Honduras)

Rafa Verdial got involved in music early on at the age of 12. Learning to play electric organ and playing drums for his high school band. Always showing interest for music in general he was very much influenced by 80’s New Wave Bands and 90’s Grunge and Alternative Rock Bands. His interest in electronic music came by listening to bands like: Depeche Mode, New Order, Duran Duran, INXS, and some others.

In the 1999 at the age of 20 years his interest for Electronic Dance Music awakens, listening to commercial artists and djs like ATB, Stardust, Dirty Vegas, Royksopp and a few years later interested in more underground genres, like House, Progressive House and Techno listening to djs like Sasha, Ferry Corsten, Deep Dish, Steve Lawler, Danny Tenaglia , to name a few.

In addition, he has been called upon this year (2007) to play at what is considered the most prestigious venue in Central America; Sunjam Utila EDM Festival 11th Edition, which takes place annually in the beautiful island of Utila, Bay Islands, Honduras.
