Skunkbeat (Chaishop - Guatemala)
Oscar Castañeda also known as Dj Skunk Beat was born
in Guatemala City, Guatemala on the 07.10.1982 without knowing
that music was the path he had to follow for the rest of his
life. During childhood, he was influenced by new age, funk and
disco music that his parents used to play all day.
Guatemala is a really small country and it is hard to find a
big scene of everything but pop. When starting to develop his
personality during puberty, rock and grunge dominated his musical
horizon, musical genres which somewhat had a scene in Guatemala
and developed a sense of belonging. He wanted to make a change,
so he started to actively take part in a punk band as a guitar
player. Everything was going well until in the year 2002 he discovered
electronic music and has been hooked since.
He started djing and organizing psychedelic trance events in
Central America at the end of 2002 and moved to Hamburg, Germany
to continue his dj carreer in 2004. His dj sets can range from
progressive trance to progressive house and electro. Blending
these styles together into one tripadelic experience is his specialty.
In the last two years he has been touring Europe and discovered
that electronic music has so much to offer. In 2006 he co-founded
Chaishop Records - a trance label focused on showcasing new talents
in trance music.
