TEIAO

TEIAO (Alfredo Ridolfo) is a musician, producer, DJ and founder of Droid9 South America. From an early age, he showed a natural bond with music — starting to play his mother’s piano at the age of 5, and before turning 13 he was already performing on stage as lead guitarist, marking the beginning of a constantly evolving career. He studied at the Musician Institute (Argentina), where he was awarded the Merit Scholarship for Best Student of the Year two years in a row. In 2019 he launched his solo electronic project TEIAO, which quickly gained international recognition through remixes of The Beatles, Daft Punk, Radiohead, and Björk — repeatedly supported by renowned DJs such as Nick Warren and Hernán Cattáneo — and later sealing his project Dis Connect on Guy J’s label. Since then, he has released on labels such as Armadillo, Freegrant Music, Balkan Connection, Amulanga, and Droid9, receiving support from artists including Guy J, Kevin Di Serna, Mariano Mellino, DJ Ruby, and Fernando Ferreyra. In 2020 he founded Droid9 South America, a sublabel of Droid9 Recordings (USA), consolidating himself as a key figure in the Argentine electronic music scene. He is also the owner of Charly Morgan Studios, one of the most respected mastering studios in the region. Currently, he is a resident at Music From the Future, a cult event series where prestigious DJs converge under a shared philosophy: a genuine love for music as an experience and sonic journey. Recognized for his avant-garde and distinctive sound, TEIAO turns each performance into a unique experience, often surprising the audience with live appearances from guest musicians who bring freshness and an unrepeatable character to his sets. He has shared the stage with artists such as D-Nox, Carlos Alfonsín, Ricky Ryan, Ewan Rill, Facu Carri, Fede Gómez, Emi Galván, Nicholas Van Orton, Andrea Cassino, among others. He is also co-founder of the duo Dis Connect, whose debut album ABLE was released in 2024 on Armadillo Records, consolidating an innovative proposal within the international scene. With a career that blends innovation, technical mastery, and a constant search for new forms of expression, TEIAO stands out as one of the most influential artists in the Argentine electronic music scene.
