Trance DJ Pearl & Pelio

Who are DJ Pearl & Pelio?

Pearl & Pelio are a dynamic Trance/Progressive duo hailing from Santa Monica, CA. Their performance and productions are marked by a combined 15 years of formal musical education in both classical guitar and classical piano.

The two met at University and immediately clicked on likes and dislikes of electronic dance music – leading to a musical partnership. With Pelio continually working towards better mastering the art of the DJ, and Pearl taking the reigns for the majority of their 2007 productions, Pearl & Pelio are building a name in circles in southern California and beyond.

What defines their performance?

Possibly one of their most defining elements is their approach to the live show, where simply jockeying records takes a whole new approach. In their performances, Pelio’s harmonic mixing, perfectly Platinum Noted tracks, and his unique DJ tricks are blended into a rich, smooth sound that is then output to a laptop where Pearl adds “on the fly” live elements via software applications and live instruments. This marriage of the traditional DJ to the progressive, effects/sample oriented live element has caught the ears of Moda nightlife of Orange County, California, where the two hold a monthly residency.

In addition, they host a bi-monthly radio show entitled “Coastal Sessions” on PURE.FM internet radio where they have followed such acts as Duderstadt, Solarstone, Mike Mikhijian, and Kyo to name a few.

Finally, Pelio has been highlighted as the guest DJ on Bob Motamedi’s “California Trancient” monthly ETN.FM program. 2007 saw the official remix of Ambrosial’s “All Day,” which is currently in its final stages of post-production. In addition, their current original mix “Aquarius,” already has artists such as Mike Esco of Ambrosial (Coldharbour Recordings) hyping the release of both tracks with their friends and labels. Looking forward to 2008, the duo’s next recording project will be for the local rock band “The Neon Calm” in an attempt to bring a wider audience to their Los Angeles following.

Currently, Pearl & Pelio are in negotiations with an Independent filmmaker for the licensing of one or more tracks for an upcoming film to be released at the Sundance Film Festival. Pearl & Pelio are seeking to expand their performance schedule. It is in the live performance that they take their greatest pride, as this is where they see their efforts come to fruition. The love of the music and more so, the love of making people move, is what drives this duo’s passion.
