Ariel Gandolfo - Aka Nicholas Van Orton

Coming from Buenos Aires, Argentina, Ariel first got involved with music at the age of 16. Ten years later, after recording three studio albums with the band "il phantasmo" (Smokinghome Records, 1999, 2001 and 2003), he decided to work as a solo artist producing dance tracks under the alias Nicholas Van Orton. His tunes had a great welcome at the house music scene, and are supported by many international and local DJs such as Hernan Cattaneo, 16bit Lolitas, Steve Lawler or Andy Moor to name a few.
Ariel has firmly established also as a DJ, touring around America and Europe, performing both DJ gigs and live acts, where he includes his latest works and remixes.
Since 2009, Nicholas Van Orton also runs Balkan Connection South America record label, in collaboration with his friend Ogi Gee Cash, for Proton Music, getting massive support from mainstream DJs.
