Mariano Ballejos

Biography

Mariano Ballejos is an Argentinian DJ and producer based in Buenos Aires, with over twenty years of experience in the local electronic music scene. His style combines Melodic Techno, Trance, and Tech Trance. He has performed at prominent events such as Magic Buenos Aires at Niceto Club alongside international artists (Oberon, Javier Bússola, Phil Reynolds), and has shared the stage with the duo Heatbeat at renowned clubs like Bahrein. As a producer, he has released emblematic tracks such as Blackland (Original Mix), which was highlighted as a significant piece within "melodic techno," released in November 2025 by the Sounds Of Meow label. His catalog also features singles like Just Breathe (including a remix by AlterLife), as well as official remixes of songs by other artists, such as You by Dobrafaza and Go by Moby. In an interview/online content, his music is described as a "hypnotic immersion" with "elegant, evolving synthesizers, powerful bass"—suggesting a sound designed for dance floors that combine depth, atmosphere, and energy. Ballejos works both as a DJ and producer, and in 2012 released "Luján" under his alias Baiaz Project (Sorcery Records label). That track received airplay on international trance radio stations such as A State Of Trance 581 and 600 live in the United States. In 2018, his track “Pik As (Evol Waves Remix)” was selected for the A State Of Trance 850 festival (Sydney, Australia), performed live by the duo Gaia, and featured on episode 857 of A State Of Trance (Armin van Buuren's show). His music has received support from established DJs: for example, producers like Ruben De Ronde and Sean Tyas have played his tracks. Other global figures (Paul van Dyk, Paul Oakenfold, Marcus Schulz, W&W, Solarstone, and Giuseppe Ottaviani in 2013) have also featured his productions, both under his real name and as Baiaz Project. He has collaborated with the Italian duo T4L and Narthia Kate from Mexico. He also remixed a track by the Italian producer Sygma featuring actress Anne Hathaway (of the film Interstellar fame) on the Black Hole Recordings label.
