STUDIO & PRODUCTION:
Los V would not be complete without the multi talented Mario, the group's Sound Engineer ! At the tender age of 7, Mario's parents realized that he had an inclination towards music. They decided to enroll their son in the local conservatory of music and began taking classical music theory lessons specializing in piano. He was at first influenced by dance music and pop...but finally after a lot of experimenting...electronic music was the style that won him over! By the age of sixteen, he started getting involved in musical composition where he wrote various pieces of music and was assisted by several experienced artists in the business at the time such as, Cosmic Gate who he met in person during an event at the Tunnel Club in Limassol. He provided him with advice on a number of issues and gave him some useful tips such as, which sequencers to start with and which equipment to buy ! In 2008, he decided to move to London to study at Kingston University where he specialized in Music Technology Composition where he was more than satisfied with his professors who taught him everything he knows! After receiving his Bachelor's Degree with honours in 2011, he returned to Cyprus where he established his own fully equipped professional studio and created his own brand name, NGS (New Generation Sound) He managed to reach no 36 in the Beatport Top 100 Trance releases with Marcie's - "As the wind blows" in 2012 ! In 2016 he created the label Roadtune Records dedicated to a more Underground sound !
