Aluen

Carlos Ortega aka ALÜEN was no stranger to music growing up in Guatemala. From a young age he started playing drums and paying attention to different genres like rock, metal, hip-hop, rap and the one that he felt more connection with, electronic music. He soon acquired admiration for sounds made with machines, that weren’t mainstream, but could make you dance for hours. His interest kept on growing as he listened to local and international djs play records in bars and clubs. This is where the majority of his inspiration came from. In 2012 he started playing in a famous local bar of Guatemala called THE BOX LOUNGE GROOVE where later he acquired a monthly residence. As his mixing skills continued to grow he started playing in different venues and parties. This
