_BIO
FRIKSTAILERS
The Frikstailers is the high energy, super rhythmic and sampladelic project in which Rafael Caivano and Lisandro Sona work their magic for the freestyle dancefloor. Their music assimilates the output of contemporary pop artists, lovingly dismembering the original productions. The resulting microsounds are processed and mutated until they take on another dimension, reaching another aesthetic and meaning. After passing through the Frikstailers multiprocessors, these mainstream hits are mixed with beats and melodies inspired by a diverse range of sources, flirting with dancehall, cumbia, reggaeton, hip hop, funk, baile funk, b-more, electro, house and techno. While the results may be strange, schizophrenic even, they retain the glamour and pop nous of the original tracks.

In their short life they’ve already played at festivals like Mutek Buenos Aires (2006), Creamfields Buenos Aires (2008), NiuFest!!! (Córdoba - 2006), QuboCultural.Zip (Guadalajara - 2006), ExperimentaClub Festival (Madrid - 2007) and SXSW Festival (Austin, Texas).

At present they are involved in a number of collaborations, with remixes for artists worldwide such as El Guincho (Spain), Rock & Junior (France), Fauna (Argentina) and MC Gringo (Brazil) They’re also members of the resident DJ crew at Random Club (Córdoba).

Frikstailers are part of the catalogue of Pino Rec, a label based in Mexico and Argentina, whose objective is to promote Latin American artists that compose electronic fusion music.
