Digi & Gabo was created in 1999, as a result of a musical collaboration to see and feel electronic compositions.

Born in Mexico in 1973, Gabriel Reynas first venture into music was playing the bass at the age of 16.

Influenced by techno pop and new wave music, in 1997 Gabo started exploring the keyboards and musical composition by electronic means.

Born in Mexico in1979, Diego Cevallos started studying drums and percussions at the age of 12, influenced primarily by rock and latin music.

In 1998, his work with electronic music began. Reyna and Cevallos met at the end of the 90s, and interested in each others work, decided to play together.

After several sessions, the duet formaly consolidated.

By the summer of 2001, they are included in the album Noiselab Recopilation 001 with the innovative track Dip Suite. This inclusion was their debut in the music industry.
By the end of 2001, they signed with bmg.

During 2002, they devoted themselves to live perfomances.

While appearing in multiple sceneries in Mexico and abroad, they were creating their first album. It was during this year that much of the material of the first sessions was discarded and replaced by new compositions.

Evident changes took place, a beat reduction and a diverse interaction of sound elements. The contrast of the various musical influences is vital for the Digi & Gabo result.

The evolving electronic influences combined with tribal elements creates a refreshing musical outcome that gives it texture, volume, and curvature.

In 2003 with the release of their first album -entiltled, No Somos Deejays(we are not dj's)- in which the root sounds of Cevallos as well as the electronic keyboards of Reyna, clearly transmits how the electronic music can overcome artificiality and become deliciously humanized.

The evolution of Digi & Gabo, after five years of existence, has been bright and flowing, keeping a certain distance from the progressive and techno inclinations of their first years.

At the center of their quest is a deepening of the understanding of how the organic and the electronic coexist as a celebration of life.
