Piliavin & Zimbardo are no ordinary DJ duo. In one name, you have one of the most complete packages in dance music today. They combine their skills behind the decks with an impressive list of production and remix credits on some of the most influential labels around. They are also resident reviewers for top UK magazine IDJ (International DJ), and run their own label group consisting of Distraekt Records, Distraektions Records and the new Factor 10 Records, alongside their newly established Distraekt Music Publishing company. Busy guys!
Piliavin & Zimbardo have been spinning together now for many years, in various venues far and wide, including: ‘ROACH?with Tom Stephan and Victor Calderone, also making an appearance on Toms KISS100FM show, Ministry of Sound (Taipei, Taiwan), Ministry of Sound Radio (London), Centro (Jakarta), Key 103FM (UK), Club Madness (Holland), Melonphunk@Herbal (London), Generation X (Manchester), Centro (Singapore), NRK@WMC(Miami), Muzika@WMC (Miami), Paradise Factory (Manchester), NATO (Leeds), Foundation (Glasgow), Resident (Leeds), Moov (Wales), Beatfreak Parties (Madrid, and Valencia). The guys also have lined up some superb gigs this year, including Portugal, Kazakhstan, Greece, Ireland, Turkey, Denmark, Sweden, Spain, Malaysia, Taiwan, Indonesia and many others throughout Europe and the rest of the globe. Most recently the guys have just completed their supremely successful tour of Asia through Substance Management.
So what with running their own labels, recording for Sondos, Honchos, Distraekt , Eden and Mixmaster, remixing and finding time to DJ - ‘The Kings of Tribal' (CD Pool) are 'the busiest guys in House at the moment? (Tom Stephan, Superchumbo), and not only are ‘these the guys to watch, beating the path with their Tribal-Tech rhythms?(Subliminal Records US), but are also ‘one of the hottest production teams in the UK right now?(Nick Harris, NRK), and to cap it off, highly accomplished DJ’s who play a blistering set, full of energetic house music, that raises the roof every time.
Piliavin & Zimbardo hail from the north of England, and in the course of the past few years they have released some sonically earth-quaking House music, on many of the key labels in the underground House scene, including Sondos, Star69, Honchos Music, Mixmaster and Distraekt Records. The pair are taking on the world with their armory of distinct tribal rhythms, and powerful twisted tech beatz. Remixing for the likes of Star69, Sunkissed, Beatfreak, Release, New Era, Statrax and more, and support for their sound coming in from the likes of Robbie Rivera, Donald Glaude, Victor Calderone, Oscar G, Peter Rauhoffer, That Kid Chris, Tom Stephan, Antony Pappa and many more, it seems there is no stopping the sound of their drums!
