Biography of Lega

Leandro Pugliese ( aka Lega & Plastique Vision ) was born in a small town south Buenos Aires called Bahia Blanca . At the tender age of 6 he started studying and playing guitar, as he loved music. The main difference between him and almost every single producer today, is that at his home nobody loves music or had anything to do with it, therefore it was difficult for him to get in touch with quality music from the beginning.

At the age of twelve (1990) his love for technology/computers started. His family bought him a PC XT and one year later he had two different PC programming degrees… By then the guitar was for music and the PC just for making stupid useless software. Three years down the line, Lega started hanging out and investigating more about music. It was difficult as almost every single friend of his didn't know much about it. It was in 1995 when he found some software called “Trackers” for making music. His knowledge of programming made things easier at the offset to produce music with this kind of software.

It was in 1997 when Lega had his first real contact with electronic music. He heard a Chemical Brother's album and some time later it was the turn of “Homework” by Daft Punk, that kind of sound blew his mind. It was then he found out what he wanted to achieve.

In 1999, aged 20 he decided to drop the guitar and started making music in a serious way using Fruity Loops. He made an album just for fun. Two years later, he gave that album to his friend Waltie ( who is now one of the most respected DJs in Argentina ) and received great feedback from him. Waltie asked Lega to let him make a remix of one of the tracks together and that was the beginning of Hawaii , one of the most respected tech house acts in South America . These days, he produces under the name Hawaii together with Maxine Vegas & Waltie, while Waltie & Lucas Ferro are the ones in charge of the Hawaii DjSets.

Hawaii have made tons of quality tracks. Well known like Hernan Cattaneo, Yunus Gunuven and Subsky are big supporters, and labels such as Red Flag Collective and Pissed Off Recordings licensed some of their productions to be released later this year.

With Hawaii being a primary Tech House collaboration, Leandro explores the minimal sound in a really high level as Lega. He has included fine female vocals performed by Julie Amadeo in some of his tracks. Plastique Vision is Leandro's harder and darker music, a sound that Hernán Cattaneo, Kosmas Epsilon, G Pal and many others love.

Under the moniker of Lega, Leandro has plenty of forthcoming releases under labels such as Intrinsic Design, Kung Fu Dub, CP Recordings, Spleen, Beat Code, Cure, and Subtrax. Huge artists like Jeff Bennett and Mike Bryant, constantly includes his tracks on their charts and gigs.

Plastique Vision's first release will be Abstract Habits @ Pissed Off Recordings together with a G Pal remix. The Between Frames EP @ New York's Acute Recordings will follow, along with others releases @ Red Flag Collective, Blend, CP and Swift.

No doubts about it, there are not many talented producers who are able to dominate every single style like Leandro. He can produce almost every genre in the electronic music department, whilst being distinguished as an innovative and eclectic producer…
