Elio Stereo

Elio Stereo is taking over the decks at Patria Cocina on Sunday, October 18, as part of the venue's tardeada del Recuerdo. It's a DJ set from a producer and engineer who's spent a lot of time behind the boards as well as the booths, and the whole thing kicks off at 5 PM.

If you haven't crossed paths with him before, Elio Stereo is a Caracas-born, Miami-raised, Atlanta-based engineer, deejay, and producer. He's also a vinyl enthusiast at Proper Taste and the creator of everything DUPER®. His sound pulls from electronica, Latin, and soulful deep house, so it's a mix that can lean as much toward the dancefloor as it does toward the lounge, especially in a late-afternoon slot like this one.

He's played extended sets alongside a long list of names from the electronic scene: Martinez Bros, Seth Troxler, Hawtin, En Pure, Dear, Trent, Bonobo, Soulclap, Maclean, Pidcock, Monaco, Ceballos, Osunlade, Sharam, Urulu, Italoboyz, Moon Boots, and Tim Green. That's a lot of ground to cover—deep house, soulful cuts, and the more driving side of electronica—and it gives you a good sense of the range he works with.

It's a Sunday afternoon session, so it's as much about the vibe as the music. Admission is free, and it starts at 5 PM at Patria Cocina (also listed as Pata Negra Mezcaleria) in Atlanta.
