DJ Team - Ambassador of Hard Techno since 1997

Rare is the electronic duo that makes a significant impact on the music scene, but even rarer is the electronic duo that helps pioneer an entire genre, establishes a twenty-year legacy for building an international powerhouse, and all the while manages to stay happily wed for over two decades. PETDuo are true masters of their domain. Formed in 1997 in São Paulo, Brazil, the Berlin-based hard-techno sensation have been bucking trends with their non-conformist attitude and maverick-like ethos since their inception, ruthlessly carving a place for themselves in the overpopulated realm of electronic music, and establishing the group as an innovator, a vanguard that fashioned many of Techno’s popular trends. But for Anne Gelfei and David Elie Merlino, partners in crime and masterminds of the two-piece DJ outfit, it all comes pretty naturally. “This whole journey and our career development was a mutual discovery in the music realm,” explains Gelfei. We are self-made artists, and we always push ourselves to improve our technique and find different ways of expressing and delivering our music. And a lot of times we push each other to overcome our own limitations and beliefs.”
