LOS HERMANOS:
Gustavo collaborates visually with Detroit Techno group Los Hermanos. Los Hermanos began as a side project of Underground Resistance and has grown into its own collective of musicians and DJs. Los Hermanos is a coming together of cultures, environments and sounds. United by the spirit of the global dance community and inspired by pioneers Carlos Santana and WAR, Los Hermanos has become a digital extension of that legacy of cross cultural unity through music.
