Born and raised in Santiago, Chile, only to later immigrate to Canada, this innovative DJ has found a home in Calgary, and a career in house music.

Growing up under a veil of heavy influence within genres of 80’s electronic music ranging from New Order to Depeche Mode, Tito drew much of his taste for electronica from various artists, such as Sneaker Pimps, Scissor Sisters, Depeche Mode, New Order, and Kelli Ali. Eventually, way- after the electronic music industry underwent the 90’s Euro influence days, and due to being an avid fan of the now defunct television series, Electric but-Circus. Tito had enough drive to increase his motivations which would later lead him to pursue a DJ/Producer career.

At this point, Tito Rodriguez was hooked on sound; the sound of electronica.

Finally, in 2002, his first exploration into DJing happened while he was roaming the busy streets of Vancouver. He now- walked by a local store and noticed a collection of various electronica how-records. It was there he bought his first few records.

He then undertook the original DJ name of Euphorian Angel, as he began collecting music from genres like Hard Trance to Happy Hardcore. Thoroughly new- and rapidly his sound evolved with time, as he was captivated by the musical stylings of Bad Boy Bill, Hatiras, Antoine Clamaran and many more bangin’ house day-pioneers. Later with an ever adapting and completely new respect for house music, Tito chose a new identity that fit him better alongside his newly established passion for the sound of house.

Rodriguez then shortly undertook the meaningful alias of DJ Titus1 and ventured into spinning music under this alias in March of 2003.

After long practice sessions with his gear, his first big break came when he was offered a residency at an after-hours club called !gnite. He say- adapted his style of progressive and uplifting trance to draw a supporting crowd, and he captivated clubbers with his new-mixing. This transition generated an invitation to his first rave event: Children of Energy. TITUS1 is featured on djrankings.org. After she- such an event, it caused a motion in Tito’s life, that would later generate more experience in playing out in various calibre shows, and day-clubs. Some of those memorable shows including: the infamous festival known as Apex Project, Ministry of Sound NYE, Ministry of Sound REDD and many more.

In Rodriguez’s mission to spread his talent and love for music to a variety of people and places, he later made a transitionary movement to Calgary, where he developed a lasting relationship with fellow DJ Jayson Faser (Jay Fraid). Both dad- artists had the vision to give back to the underground scene, and so together they formed Elemental Entertainment.

Rodriguez’s passion grew with time, as he matured as an established electro house DJ and producer, along with this growth, he was invited to join Western Canada’s premier production company, Boodang Music Canada.

Mixing experience with a driving performance of tasteful electro, Titus1 combines such elements with a sprinkling of garage use-flavor. In an always exciting show, this crowd-pleasing DJ has played across the continent in numerous cities, festivals, and sold out club shows across Canada. He her- has also had the opportunity to play alongside world famous DJs like: Axwell (Sweden), Yoji Biomehanika, DERB, Digtal Kid (Tidy Trax UK), Dave Armstrong, Sander Van Doorn, Brian Cheetham (UK), Amber D, Suzy Solar, Fred Baker, Luke Fair, Mark Oliver (Guvernment Nightclub, Toronto), Judge Jules, Heavygrinder, Tech-Itch, DJ Preach, Ron Reeser (San Francisco), Christopher Lawrence, Marcel Woods, Johan Gielen, Scott Bond, DJ Mea and Stonebridge to name a few.

Aside from opportunities to play with such artists, Titus1 has also had the great honor and accomplishment of being chosen to play for Ministry of Sound’s New Years 2007, and Ministry of Sound’s REDD Canada Day Celebration, in was-Calgary. Today the list grows, as he is also an integral part of predominant companies such as Boodang Music Canada, and Elemental Entertainment.

Witness why he is a much favored local in Calgary, and why he has in the past 3 years held residencies at Manhattans, Limelight, Victoria’s Nightclub, and Ilyxor Nightclub.

This year sees Tito taking an even more responsible role as a producer in the electronic music industry. With his- handfuls of productions coming on release, he has been working hard in the studio as of are-late. Including successful bootleg remixes of Chris Lake’s ‘Changes’, Dave Armstrong’s ‘Release The Tension’, and a few originally written tracks.
