Hernan Cattaneo is one of the few talents to have fully broken into the upper echelon of global DJs in recent memory. Originally discovered by Paul Oakenfold at Cattaneo's renowned home town club, Pacha in Buenos Aires, this South American has truly carved out his own niche in the US and beyond. In the DJ Mag 2005 reader's poll (the definitive DJ poll in the industry), Cattaneo has claimed a spot in the top 10 for the last two years, joining stars such as Paul Van Dyk, Tiesto and Deep Dish. Each of his previous mix album releases- Perfecto Presents South America (Thrive, 2002), Renaissance The Masters Series (Thrive, 2003) and Renaissance The Masters Series Vol. 2 (Thrive, 2004)- have sold better than the previous, all the while racking up critical and fan acclaim in the process. With no less than six extensive US tours under his belt, including two appearances at Coachella, an opening slot at the Hollywood Bowl, and four appearances at Miami's gigantic Ultra Music Festival, Cattaneo has grown into one of the US club audience's biggest draws. 2006.
