Francisco Allendes, born in Iquique, Chile, was introduced to the world of music at the early age of nine when
his parents gave him a violin for Christmas. After eight years of classical training and performing with chamber
orchestras and folkloric bands, at the age of seventeen, Francisco discovered Progressive Rock and the
sound of the synthesizers. This first contact to electronic instruments opened the door to a new world and
encouraged him to experiment with sounds.
Becoming a DJ was the next obvious step for him. His first productions already beared fruits and resulted in
significant performances at Love Parade Chile, Creamfields and Love Parade Berlin.
In 2007 he founded Andes Music, first vinyl and digital record label based in Chile, in order to promote upcoming
South American artists. During 2009 and 2010 Allendes‘ sound and style is evident in epic tracks
like “Llovizna”, “El Grillo, el Indio y el Robot” and “El Ladron de Mails” and finally he was recruited by one
of the world’s leading club labels, Cadenza Recordings. “Esa Nena Quiere”, the following appearance on
Steve Lawler’s VIVa Music, has been heavily supported by international key players such as Luciano, Ricardo
Villalobos or Josh Wink.
Paola Poletto, born in Turin, Italy, began her career as a DJ at the young age of 15, after 13 years of professional
ballet dancing.
After living in New York, where she has been adopted by the “Nuyorican” Old Skool scene and London and
being inspired by Paul “Trouble” Anderson, she was invited to Ibiza to become a resident at the “Made in Italy”
parties at Pacha and Space. This great feat gave her the accolade of the “first female DJ ever to perform
at Pacha.” Since, Paola has become a regular on the Island.
Few years later it took her to Milan, where she became resident Dj of the most important parties of northern
Italy “The Base” and “Colazione da Tiffany”, followed by her first record being released on Roger Sanchez’
label Rsenal in 2000.
Throughout the past 20 years of touring she performed alongside the planet’s most popular DJs in locations
that include Europe, the States, South America and parts of Asia. Billboard Magazine, the industry’s most
important publication, invited her on several occasions to represent Italy at the Billboard New York Convention.
Since 1998, she has performed regularly in Miami at the Winter Music Conference.
In 2008 she graduated in sound engineering at APM The Sound Engineering College. With 15 years of experience
in Ibiza, Paola has played everywhere: Pacha, Privilege, Amnesia, Space, Ushuaia and for the
best parties ever: Manumission, MTV Festivals, Carry On, Ovum alongside Josh Wink, Amnesia after Party
alongside Locodice and Marco Carola, Kehakuma, Space Opening
Party, We Love Sundays at Space.
It was in 2009 that Francisco and Paola met in New York while touring. Both felt a strong connection from the
very first moment and decided to continue working and performing as one team.
Francisco left his home Santiago de Chile and moved to the place he always dreamt to be a part of: Ibiza.
Just a year later the duo got their first residency at Ushuaïa Beach Club and started touring with their “back
to back” set. Additionally Francisco became the opening DJ for the Cocoon after parties and the year after
resident DJ of Cocoon Heroes in Formentera. Besides that he kept producing for Cadenza, with his track
“Tiago” together with Yaya being released February 2012. Paola in the meantime was performing at the
worldwide renowned opening at Space, Kehakuma and We love Sundays at Space.
While living in Ibiza, Francisco and Paola started working in the studio. Their first collaboration “Chicken
From Cosmo” has been signed by Loco Dice for Desolat, along with a few more tracks by the duo, including
their beloved “Ralf The Dog”. VIVa Music signed further two tracks of them, Indigo Ep, remixed by their
friends Sis and Hector while Orion Muzik commissioned them to remix “Smell of the city” sung by The American
singer Gretchen Rhodes.
In 2012 they started their own label Aurora Indigo – named after Indigo, the colour of the transmutation and
new young generation and the year 2012 meaning a beginning of a new era: the aurora of the universe.
First release “Teorema EP” is produced by Francisco Allendes and Felipe Venegas and gained immediate
support by the likes of Loco Dice, Marco Carola , Luciano, Davide Squillace, Matthias Kaden, Michel Cleis and
Nick Curly to name a few.
