Altocamet

Formed in the coastal city of Mar del Plata toward the end of the 1990s, the Argentinean five-piece techno/pop outfit AltoCamet assembled guitarist Adrián Valenzuela, singer Mariana Monjeau, percussionist Pedro Moscuzza, bass/guitar player Guillermo Piacenza, and bassist Rubén Kain. The ensemble concentrated on ambient, trip-hop, and drum'n'bass textures for its first album, Veladabristolcasino, which Julián Sanza produced. AltoCamet also appeared on the Buenos Aliens compilation, after which came Nuovo Mondo and 2000's Viernes on Fénix Discos, containing Charly García's "Viernes 3 A.M."
