When you’re born with music circulating your veins, it invades and directs the courses of your life; so is the biography of 46-year-old Canadian DJ/Producer, DeGiacinto. Growing up in Ontario, Canada afforded him many opportunities to dedicate his life to music. From a budding age, the multi-faceted DJ learned to play guitar, violin, and flute. At age 16, he made advances playing at a local club in Cornwall, Ontario. The pivotal stage began when DeGiacinto became an apprentice playing at Le Houblon in Quebec. The position served as a catapult, launching his career past it’s beginning stages. Here he met crucial contacts like Pierre Tremblay, promoter and discjockey for a top radio station in Montreal. Tremblay bridged connections to larger venues and multiple learning opportunities, like performing at CKOI, the number one radio station in Montreal at the time. Equipped with an impressive resume and eager for further development of his career, the Canadian DJ moved to the colorful, lively world of Miami. The move marked a transition to the types of venues DeGiacinto began to play at. He began spinning at buoyant gay clubs, which eventually led to invitations to tour Canada and Costa Rica. He became enraptured with producing music with pulsating bass, and the energy from the crowds that followed. Today, DeGiacinto reigns in Tribal, Circuit and Progressive House genres. Creativity and inspiration are almost tangible with each set he performs. Unique to his sound are recordings from day-to-day experiences, which he then blends into his mixes, stamping his unmistakable signature on his sets. Inspiration is drawn from French classics like Edith Piaf and Charles Aznavour, as well as Mark DeMarko, Alex Acosta, Danny Verde, Ivan Gomez and Alex Ramos to name a few. These artists have motivated him in past and present to create the gems that are displayed at each of his performances. DeGiacinto’s tenacious nature allowed him to obtain a master’s degree in Digital Media in the late 90’s. He has also had the privilege of teaching college courses in Digital Media for close to eight years. Currently, he is producing steadily growing podcasts. DeGiacinto has plans to participate in popular venues like White and Winter Party in Miami, and expand his international reach.This is only beginning of his journey to discover the vastness of his musical expertise and inventiveness, and he would love your support along the way to musical prosperity. From the mouth of this alluring artist comes wise words he wishes to use to inspire his supporters: “You are never too old to make your dream become a reality. Many will try and distract and discourage you, but always remember that it is your dream and not theirs.”

Born in august 1969, DJ Pascal has always had a true passion for music. Since a young age - let’s say as soon as he was able to hold a 7” record in his hand - he was the one at home who had to put the records on the turntable and play them. So his mum says… In the beginning there was… The radio The story starts in the Summer of 1982 when he gets the opportunity to visit the studio of a local radio station. Mesmerized by this universe, he starts to host shows on different local radios. His adventure in the world of radio stations will go on for almost 10 years. Even though it has not much to do with mixing, it really carved him out a solid musical background and knowledge. First spin... At about 15, he discovers a new sensation when friends ask him to deejay at their birthday parties. Well let’s be honest, at this point, it is closer to “play records” than mixing, really… In 1987, he contacts one of the biggest events company in Braine-l’Alleud, the city where he lives. At this time, they need deejays for all kind of events, parties, weddings, etc. So they offer him the opportunity to start working for them from time to time. And so it all begins… In da club... In the late 80’s, he gets his first experience mixing in a club, La Belle Alliance, as a replacement dj. Kind of different than mixing for private parties, just as fun but way more exciting! 1990-1992: He works for the first time as resident DJ in a club called J.C. Club in Brussels. 1994-1997: He starts to work in the club Arc-En-Ciel, near Waterloo. 1998-2001: Paradox, a gay club in Ghent. 2001-2003: L’Espace 80 (The 80’s room of the Palladium in Baisy-Thy). 2003-2004: L’EXM in Walhain. 2006 up to this day: Le Rétro in Plancenoit, near Waterloo. Along those years, he never stopped improving his skills to mix flawlessly the pure disco from the late 70’s, as well as the music from the 80’s (his teenager years!) Nevertheless, Dance, House, Deep House, Trance, Progressive or even Retro House are some of his favorite styles. Beside the exclusive edits that he realizes for his performances, DJ Pascal also started since 2013 to remix some 80’s classics and even started to compose original tracks. More than ever, music is his force, his passion, his life. To be continued…
