Who is DJ Swarup?
Juarez Petrillo started working with music in the 80s. He had a band called First Stone“of pure Rock’n’Roll blood”, his website describes.
He has also worked with production, photography and music video creation. From 1999 onwards he dedicated himself to electronic music, especially after trips to Europe.
Juarez’s family has made this profession a tradition: not only is he a DJ, but so are his ex-wife and two of his children. After the visit to the controversial guru OshoJuarez received the stage name of Swarup, while his then wife began using the name Ekanta. The religious guru also suggested the names of his children, Okay, Bhaskar AND Jaya.
Like DJ Swarup, Juarez specialized in the subgenre Psychic tranceFast beat style and psychedelic atmosphere.
In 2000 Juarez organized, for the first time, the New Year’s Eve in Alto Paraíso-Goiás. Between 2001 and 2002, he relaunched the party, starting to invite DJs of different nationalities. The event became the so-called Parallel universe, recognized throughout the world. The party was on an international tour when it took place in Israel last week.
According to Alok, Juarez licensed the rights to the Universo Paralello brand only to Israeli producers and was not the organizer of the party there.
