There is one key word to remember about Mario Calegari...SIMPLICITY.
He as a person and also as a pioneering Dj/Producer preaches and practises this integral part of his eccentric style and personality. However in life and as in music its not always the complicated things that make you stop and think. Mario was born and raised in the Ironbound section of Newark, New Jersey with his roots and surroundings drawing him towards the world of
music at an early age. His mixed South American roots stemming from his stern Brazilian father, along with the Portuguese elegancy of his mother was sure to make a sublime cocktail of musical passion and soul with Mario eager to share with the world.
