Biography of Antonio Santana a.k.a Dj Amigo Santana
Antonio Santana a.k.a DJ Amigo Santana is a Durban Based DJ that started his DJing career three years ago when he got his first CDJs. From a young age he was exposed to house music and the dance culture and was a collector of many genres of music however only at the age of 21 did he begin to follow his passion and become a DJ.
Once he finished his B.Com Marketing Degree at Varsity College he quickly got involved in the club scene in Durban and began playing in a few small club gigs. He received a big break when he played his first set at Origin Nightclub over a year ago and shortly after that became a resident at Origin to play there every Saturday night. Origin being a more underground club and a promoter of the new Electronic Dance Music scene allowed Amigo to express himself with the music that he loved. Amigos style is very diverse and dependent on where he plays, from his percussive House music to funky Tech and dirty Electro he always manages to capture the audience no matter the venue. This diverse music style and technical ability allowed him to play events throughout Durban and very quickly got him involved in many of the big events.
Playing at events like Fun in the Sun and Litchi Party and playing with internationals like Sebastien Ledger, Pleasurkraft, Mark Knight and many more at Origin nightclub allowed Amigo to build up a Brand. Being involved throughout the industry Amigo landed a guest show on Sensations Radio FM with co-host Dj Rayns which is a live broadcast of an online radio station. Their show called Electrostation with Rayns and Amigo is a platform to promote the music scene in Durban and South Africa and allowed them to reach a global audience.
Getting involved in Uber Cool events and playing at Ramfest and Splashy fen allowed him to showcase his dirty Electro style while New School Productions gave him a platform to showcase his funky tech style. His next big step was playing H20 Afrojack at the Wavehouse Durban where he played alongside a international line-up and with the best Durban has to offer.
Being booked for many more massive international events such as H20 Steve Aoki, EDM Fest (Love-tech Entertainment), Litchi party and Rage for end of November/December confirms that this summer is going to be the most massive yet for Amigo. His next step is to branch out and play throughout South Africa with gigs in Joburg, P.E. and Capetown to be confirmed soon.
