About Apollo Santo
Background
APOLLO SANTO is the DJ/producer alias of an eccentric Hawaiian Kingdom immigrant with a long history in the electronic music world.
Born, raised and living in New York City most of my life and known professionally by his given name Spiro, he was an early pioneer in
the Long Island house, techno and breaks scene of the mid 1990's, with releases on Caffeine, Definitive/Plus8, Grinning and his own label, I.M.U.R.Me Records.
After forays into progressive rock and jam band music in the early 2000's, he was a founding member of Brooklyn’s legendary “Freek Factory”, resident DJ at Alex Grey’s Chapel of Sacred Mirrors in New York City, and shared stages with the likes of Bassnectar and The Glitch Mob long before they were selling out arenas.
Now living simply on the Big Island of Hawaii, he indulges friends with DJ performances and recorded mixes of the most emotive and richly musical deep, organic and tribal house, world, drum & bass, progressive psy, and as much other unique and organic dance music he can find.
