Maxine Vegas

Sergio Borromei a.k.a. Maxine Vegas, originally from Bahia Blanca, is one of the up and coming dance music producers in the very much new techno-house scene in Buenos Aires (Argentina). And this is how it all began: When he was a mere seven years old, while listening to his fathers Beatles albums, comes to the realization that music was to become a very important part of his life. After many years of studying classic guitar at the music conservatory of his natal city, decides to venture and buy his very first electric guitar, this led to him to start playing and singing in several rocks bands, with a ranging a variety of styles. He later moved to Buenos Aires, to further his involvement in the music world, dedicating much of his time to study music production particularly that of rock, while keeping his day job as an IT consultant since he is a keen computers man. He then decides to merge this latter passion with his first love: technology and the art of blending sounds. This is the time when he becomes acquainted with Waltie whom soon becomes a great friend to him, and together take on the task of putting together project “Hawaii” alongside Lega a.k.a. Plastique Vision. After a couple of releases under this name (like “Pure” for Hernán Cattaneo’s – “Reannaisance”, or “Closed Spaces I & II” for Red Flag Collective label), he started to experiment the art of live-playing, blending minimal-sounds and tecno-loops of his own creations with taylor-made edits of tracks from other artists; all in real time. Maxine Vegas, name inspired by the movie “Being John Malkovich”, a story of alter-egos, very much resembles the double life led by Maxeen and Sergio.
