Roberto Lewinger is best known for his collaboration with Gabriel Rocha whereby they created a partnership under the alias Rocha & Lewinger. This Dj-producer-mixer duo have proved to have an incredible and unusual talent throughout their achievements, managing to raise the Uruguayan electronic music scene to the highest world standards. In 2003, they landed their residencies at Key (formerly known as Milenio) and W. Lounge, the most prestigious night clubs in the country. Thanks to their productions and refined dance floor skills, this duet is managing to take their music to the best clubs in the world. In 2005 they begin their career as producers, merging their musical instrument knowledge and their exquisite handling of Ableton Live, succeeding in getting presentations both in Live, as well as in Dj Set.
After the quirky named “Ecodoppler” European tour and their WMC 2008 performance, they´ve been acknowledged as top DJs and have packed their schedule with bookings. The year 2007 reassures their career as producers when their track “It´s too late” makes top 1 in sales for two weeks and is picked by Darren Emerson to be part of his Dj Mag mix compilation. Right after that, they signed with the English label, Leftroom, landing their vinyl on the top 10 sales chart at Juno, the world´s most important record label, getting it to be a support track for Dubfire, Marco Carola, Anderson Noise, among others. Also their songs “Nostalgia”, “Mile Davis”, “It is this” make it to the top 10 both in Juno and Beatport charts.
