BIO

Dj
My name is Andrés Castaño, people and friends call me Casta.  I am from Guatemala and for over 20 years I have played throughout Central America, the US and Europe.  I have been able to play my music in amazing events, places and festivals.  My style can range from ambient and downtempo to trance, techno and breakbeat with flairs of nostalgia rooted in a rave ethos.  I adapt depending on the setting and mood of the space.  Currently I am in the process of alligning dates for my second European tour in summer 2024.
