The history behind Depaart is kind of unusual. Born and raised as a label between Madrid and Berlin, fed as a party, grown as a collective and finally cured as an artist. To be exact a couple formed by Guillermo Marraco (part of Easy Kid project publishing the astonishing “Lenai” album back in 2016) and hyper-focused Fran Zaragoza. They met each other developing the same passion for electronic sounds and local clubbing scene. They openly confess have partied hard together many times. Both Djs since young stages and producers for over a decade now had been playing together more than often as Easy Kid B2B Fran Zaragoza since 2011, so it felt kind of natural to merge under the same umbrella now. They know each other pretty well both on the dance floor and on the DJ booth. And in the recording studio, of course! Their first big day came in 2018 when the duo signed “Blowing Smoke” on Sasha’s Last Night on Earth imprint. Soon followed by music featured on Stil vor Talent, Mono.Noi
