GITANØS

Gitanos grew up listening to music with his uncle who was a big rock n roll fan in Mexico City during the 90s. His name comes from a collective of friends called the Gitanos. Gitanos has been DJing for about 5-6 years now but only started taking actual gigs last year due to his dissatisfaction with the music industry's operation on ego, cliques, and favors. He aims to provide a glimpse of what real community and culture in music should look like with his space in the industry, specifically with house music in Portland. For him, it's not about DJing or himself; it should solely be about the music and the dance floor.
