Dzeko & Torres was a Canadian production and DJ duo based in Toronto, Ontario. Their style was a combination of progressive house and electro, with influences from Avicii, Lazy Rich, Umek, and Alesso.
Luis Torres and Julian Dzeko met on an online forum for all-age club events in Toronto. Torres was working as a graphic designer and photographer, while Dzeko was promoting events. Both men learned to mix using FL Studio, with Torres, who taught piano before leaning to produce, also handling keyboards. They started DJing together and co-producing original material; in 2008, they released their single "Confronted" on DJ Chuckie’s Dirty Dutch Digital Vol. 4. [1] Their song "Again" was remixed by Joe Ghost in 2010. [2]
By January 2012, they had opened for a number of major touring DJs in the Greater Toronto Area, such as Sebastian Ingrosso, Hardwell, Marcus Schossow, Porter Robinson, Erick Morillo, Michael Woods and Quintino. In early 2012 they released an unofficial remix of Of Monsters And Men‘s "King and Lionheart, which reached No. 1 on Hype Machine. Also in 2012, the duo released a remix of Trey Songz "Heart Attack" on Atlantic Records. By late 2012, their tracks had been played on shows such as Tiësto’s Club Life and Paul Oakenfold’s Planet Perfecto . They also premiered an unreleased track, "Togi," on David Guetta's radio show Radio DJ Mix.
Their track "Hey" premiered on Steve Aoki's BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix 2012. [3] Aoki then asked the duo to create a full EP, and that led to the three-track Hey, released on December 18, 2012, on Dim Mak Records. The EP's track "Buppy" first appeared on blogs in late fall of 2012; the third track was "Check This Out", and the EP received favourable reviews. In December 2012, they signed to the AM Only booking agency, and released an official remix of "Strange Attractor" by Animal Kingdom. In January 2013 the duo appeared in the web series The Aoki Files. [4]
