2 GEN IS THE SUM of two big passions. Two generations of a
family which had developed separate careers in electronic
music over the years, have gotten together to explore the
vibrant chemistry that emerges between them before a DJ
controller….
...For years they had shared tips and concerns,
exchanged tracks, lent equipment to each other… They had
it before their eyes, but they didn’t see it until, in May 2014,
destiny brought them together in the booth of a club in
Zaragoza, during a night dedicated to Techno. Sparks emerged!
Soon they found out that their connection also worked
in their recording studio in Barcelona, where they spend
hours producing, testing or just enjoying music.
RAFAEL DILOY (Fürth, Germany, 1965) has been related to
music all his life in a wide variety of genres. In his youth he
toured with a Latin music band and he has also journeyed
through Heavy Rock and author music. All this background
only serves to enrich his current passion, electronic music,
to which he has dedicated during the last years under the
artistic name of SIEB before joining 2GEN. House and Tech
House lover and natural born mixer of different electronic
genres, in the booth he stands out for the power of his
sound.
XAVI DILOY (Cádiz, 1989) is a young DJ who has already
known the sweetness of success with his former duet, Loves
Akabados. However, in 2014 he decided to the leave aside
the big room type of sound of this group, pretty well known
in the Andalusian clubbing circuit, and moved to Barcelona
to relaunch his artistic career, as he returned to his underground
roots. Techno devotee, he manages vast repertoires
of current tracks and his sessions are characterized by
energy and connection with the crowd.
SINCE THEIR COUPLING, they have published several sigles:
"Oktober" (Bouncing Beats), "U.F.O.", "Maktub", “Ocean
Groove” (Basic Groove), all of them with an optimistic sound
and laid in a frontier area between House and Tech House.
And there is more music coming, they point out. Each
month, their Memento Mori party in Vilanova i la Geltry is
becoming a meeting point for underground beats in the
South of Barcelona. 2015 has also been the year of their
debut on the Off Sonar Week, sharing the stage with The
Warriors, Cora Novoa or Marc Marzenit. They have also
performed their breakthrough gig on in Ibiza (Ocean Drive
Hotel), and have had stellar appearances on outdoor bigscale
festivals, such as Electromar or Medusa Sunbeach,
alongside global icons like Carl Cox, John Digweed & Dubfire.
