Known as one of the most prolific dance‑pop DJ/producers of South America, Argentina's DJ Dero, a performer of his own style called electro‑samba, started playing music at parties at a young age, becoming a DJ while still a teenager. DJ Dero's local breakthrough came after joining Buenos Aires' club scene, releasing his first album, called DJ Dero, Vol. 1, in 1992; soon he had the opportunity to work alongside local numbers such as Los Fabulosos Cadillacs and Soda Stereo, in addition to playing with Proyecto 1, Reel 2 Real, and Björk, among other international acts. In 1998, DJ Dero became the first South American DJ to participate in the traditional Love Parade in downtown Berlin, later joining the Euro‑techno party Mayday 2000.
