Having taken advantage of his years touring to explore his own musical investigations and create an internationally flavored sonic palate, Aguayo continues to deepen his relationship with artists from different places on this planet. His DJ sets move beyond standards, implementing his voice and using percussion he plays a seductive game with the audience.

"Matias Aguayo believes in magic. In fact, he sees it everywhere. It’s in the skyline view from the terrace of the building that houses his studio. It’s in the solitary tree growing on a lone patch of grass on the rooftop. It’s in the cobblestone streets that line his familiar corner of Schöneberg. Most of all, though, magic is music.
Maybe that all sounds too poetic to be true, but standing on the roof with Aguayo, the verses practically write themselves. The Brothers Grimm are buried in the graveyard visible from Aguayo’s studio window. David Bowie’s former flat is just around the corner. And on clear days like today, you can see all of Berlin from Aguayo’s rooftop. It all seems to be intertwined in Aguayo’s understanding of the world. It’s no wonder that the Chilean DJ/producer seems so creatively energized all the time; something is always sparking inspiration – or, perhaps more accurately, he is always setting inspiration in motion.
“I like to create these magic moments,” Aguayo muses when we sit down in his studio to talk about his new band project, the Desdemonas. “It’s about the situations that you create. I like very much to create nice atmospheres, nice ambiances; situations in which inevitably something will happen. I believe in that. I believe in finding things that are already there.” For Aguayo, music is as much about discovery as it is about creation; or rather, the two are one and the same.
Matias Aguayo and the Desdemonas is a new venture for him. Although it’s not his first foray into vocals and instrumentals, it’s probably his most ambitious project yet. Don’t let the set-up fool you: despite a relatively simple arrangement of looper, field recorder, microphone and three piece band (drums, keys, guitar), the Desdemonas’ sound is haunting, rich and satiating. With an album already complete and a European tour getting underway, those magic moments seem to be right within Aguayo’s grasp."
