BARRIO WEEDWAGON BIO Originally haling from Argentina the members of Barrio Weedwagon, Dante Costantini and Roman Fleischer, first met in 2008 at a venue in Buenos Aires, just before embarking on their first respective independent European. Dante was touring under the moniker Santos Resiak while Roman was touring as Dirty Room. A couple of months after their first encounter, they met again by chance in their new hometown, Berlin. The Barrio Weedwagon collaboration project was formed in late 2011, around the same time as their first release on Geno Records. After their successful debut live act at Kater Holzig, the notorious new Berlin club from the Bar 25 team, the Barrio guys have continued their musical journey with exquisite remixes on labels such as Supernature and Flumo. Additionally, the second Barrio EP is soon to be release on the Italo-British label, Apparel Music. Spontaneity is probably the highlight of Barrio's studio productions and live performances. Intriguing and unique combinations occur when neither Dante nor Roman are fully aware of what the other is up to. Barrio Weedwagon live shows are not just some stale, preprogrammed laptop set. Roman lays down funk licks with the electric guitar while Dante improvises with a 80's era drum machine, keyboards, and on the fly musical arrangements. The Barrio productions are a mixture of house, pop, funk, disco, and everything in between. With these guys you never know what to expect. However there is always one unifying drive, their passion. The passion behind their music is not only driven by a variety of musical influences but also by their deep love and respect of musicianship. Barrio Weedwagon is breaking through industry defined genres, choosing their own musical path.
