At the age of 10 he began his guitar studies focusing mainly on rock and being especially influenced by artists like George Harrison, Nick Drake and The Beatles, taking part of several bands, improving his technique at the Escuela de Música de Buenos Aires (EMBA) where he also studied piano and bass-guitar. At the age of 16, listening to George Harrison & Ravi Shankar’s records awoke in him a curiosity for classical Indian music which prompted him to begin his studies at SaRGaM, a school that specialises in this kind of music, where he studied mainly Sitar and the understandment of other instruments. His effort and determination took him that same year to perform live in several opportunities alongside his master Ariel Chab Tarab. The following year, influenced by the sounds of sequences and sinthesizers of bands and artists like Sumo, Virus, Charly García, Gustavo Cerati, Daft Punk & Kraftwerk that he had absorbed during his teens, Facundo began showing an interest for electronic music and experimenting with his computer, recording various instruments and fusing electronic music with his previous knowledge on Hindu music as he began performing at some local clubs and bars in what constituted the first steps of his career in the electronic music scene. This is how he began his career as a Dj, which took him to perform at some of the most important clubs of Buenos Aires like Pacha (Ministry of Sound), Mint, Niceto, Big One, Caix, Bahrein and Pinar de Rocha, sharing the booth with artists like Above & Beyond, Valentino Kanzyani, Max Graham, 16 Bit Lolitas, Mauro Picotto, Umek, G-Pal, Marko Nastic, Dale Anderson, Pete Heller, Justin Robertson, Guy Gerber, Andrew K, Jason Jollins, Victoria R, Big Fabio, Festa Bros, Mercurio and Logistik Sounds, among others. His tracks were signed by prestigious labels such as Acute, Pissed Off Recordings, Existence, Kumquat Tunes and Balkan Connection awarding him the support of artists like Hernán Cattaneo, Dave Seaman, Paolo Mojo, Nic Fanciull, MOS, Anthony Pappa, Anil Chawla, Gustavo Cerati, Martín García, Deep Mariano, Leandro Fresco, Tommyboy, Sam Perez y Chloe Harris to name a few. He has remixed and worked in collaboration with artists like Deep Mariano, Mercurio, Leandro Fresco, Festa Bros, Masque, Mr. Rogers, & Baudelaire among many others. He was also invited to perform at prestigious events like S.A.M.C. (2007 and 2008), Ministry of Sound (Pacha BsAs), Compass (Niceto Club), and Versus Sessions. Facu kickstarted 2008 with the Bend Records project in full swing, a record label started by him along with Mercurio and Festa Bros, and it later that year he would signhis whole catalogue of tracks to Universal Music Publishing. Currently he is taking the Recording Technician and Audio Post-production career at Tec-Son and the Composition degree at the University of Quilmes, aiming at devoting himself completely to the musical production of bands and artists, beyond the realm of electronic music. With a host of releases that will soon be at stores and many other projects in the pipeline, 2008 seems likely to be a year filled with work for Facu who, at 21, has already forged a very interesting spot in the local scene for himself.̸Released • Facu Cruz - El Eternauta - [Bit Records Mexico] - 2006 • Festa Bros - Rorsoul (Facu Cruz Remix) - [Acute Recordings] - 2006 • Mr Rogers - Absolut (Facu Cruz Remix) - [Basic Energy] - 2007 • Facu Cruz & Mr Rogers - Harmonic Disfunction [Existence Records] - 2007 • Facu Cruz - Unbearable Anxiety [FeralCode Records] 2007 • Masque - Tears (Facu Cruz Remix) [Balkan Connection] -2007 • Facu Cruz & Nicholas Van Orton - Stereodust [Kumquat Tunes] 2007 • Facu Cruz - Music for Nuclear Shelters [Vise Versa Music] 2008 • Ogi Gee Cash - Nucleus (Facu Cruz Remix) [Balkan Connection] 2008 • Ogi Gee Cash – Tokyo (Facu Cruz Remix) [Balkan Connection] 2008 • Modunique - Frequent Flow (Facu Cruz Remix) - [Augenring] 2008 • Facu Cruz & Festa Bros - Difficult Choice (Remix from Pablo Roma) [Bend Records] 2008 • Facu Cruz - El Eternauta, the remixes - Remixes by Baudelaire, Alan Rios, Ocinirom & K-Pax, Gabuci, Facundo Romano & Gerardo Boscarino.
