Experiencing a spotlight effect within the last 3 weeks has not only catalogued Mr. Pauer as an innovative producer but has elevated him as one of the freshest up-and-coming Latin Electronica artists. Word-of-press and airplay from influential radio stations all over the U.S. and Canada, such as KCRW and KEXP, have further launched him as a pioneer in the “electropical” sound.
Mr. Pauer recently finished wrapping up a successful 5-city tour in Colombia with sold-out shows. An upcoming performance in Central Park’s Summer Stage has also been announced, where he will play New York’s most prominent and highly anticipated concert series on July 6, 2011 alongside Jarabe de Palo, Ely Guerra, and Novalima as part of the Latin Alternative Music Conference (LAMC).

About Mr. Pauer
A globetrotting DJ/Producer and remixer born in the Caribbean city of Puerto la Cruz, Venezuela, Mr. Pauer (Toto Gonzalez) is now based in the sunshine funk of Miami, FL.
Ever since Mr. Pauer moved to Miami over 18 years ago, he has helped the city develop a burgeoning scene of international music through his long-running DJ residencies, and the Fabrika brand (www.fabrikalink.com); one of the leading websites in the US promoting World beats, Latin culture, and indie music for more than 10 years.
Mr. Pauer’s musical influences are as diverse as rock, electro, new wave, house, tropical and cumbia, which runs the gamut; creating a dynamic musical explosion in his production and live sets. His recent release, Soundtrack, is a collection of songs that are loosely defined as “Electropical” beats. The production value is aimed at inviting you to dance, despite cultural backgrounds; very typical of his DJ sets and crowds.
“Living back in Venezuela I grew up listening to Anglo and Spanish rock, my mother used to listen to boleros, my dad to traditional Venezuelan music, my older brothers to American 80’s pop, and to socialize I had to learn how to dance salsa and merengue. Magically after years, I connected dots unconsciously creating an array of sounds that identify with the culture I grew up with,” says Mr. Pauer. There’s no wonder that the Miami New Times called him, “…perhaps the most international of all Miami DJs.”
Mr. Pauer’s exuberant musical experience and passion mixing music from all over the world have earned him the opportunity to play at events like the Latin Grammy Awards (2010), The Latin Alternative Music Conference (2009/10), Premios Fox Sport (2010), and sharing stages with notable artists including Céu, Julieta Venegas, Macaco, Tego Calderón, ZZK and Los Amigos Invisibles among others.
