Julio Sosa, known as DJ SOSA RD, is a Dominican artist born in 1988 who has excelled at the intersection of installation and audiovisual art, music production, and DJ sets. He started his career in 2006 in Santo Domingo and in 2013 moved to Spain to complete a master's degree in Visual and Multimedia Arts. Through his music, he has successfully fused rave and subversive culture with the political ambiance of techno and Caribbean rhythms, creating a unique context of irony, harmony, and cultural diversity. His works have been distributed under labels such as TraTraTrax and International Chrome, has presented mixes on internationally recognized platforms such as NTS and Dublab and Keep Hush, in addition to performing in events for collectives such as Cotch (London) and Promesses (Paris).

Barcelona-based, Venezuelan producer and DJ, exploring the intersections between techno, electro and acid with obscure tropical rhythms. He currently runs his own label, Vimana, and alongside NAP co runs the ACA label. He has released a series of EPs on Klasse Wrecks, and is ½ of Dos Ritmos with Klasse label boss Luca Lozano.

Fueled by his passion for the Venezuelan underground scene, he co-produced a Zine for Klasse Wrecks titled “Logos of the Venezuelan Minitecas”. The Zine delves into the history and visual imagery of Venezuelan mobile sound systems, known as Minitecas. This path led him to present a new live set at Sonar Festival 2023 called “Vimana Discplay”, an AV show offering a modern interpretation of the Venezuelan Miniteca Experience. Years before adopting the Phran alias, he produced as Pacheko, releasing bass-heavy music with a Venezuelan twist on labels such as Enchufada, Senseless Records, Shockout, and Lo Dubs, among others. Back in the day, with the Abstractor crew, he contributed to the production of a documentary called “Quien Quiere Tuki?” exploring the Caracas Raptor House and Changa Tuki scenes. His productions have been played by DJs such as Nick León, DJ Florentino, Lechuga Zafiro, Leon Vynehall, John Talabot, Batu and Tiga, among others.
