Living high among a forest of skyscrapers in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Franco Di Lorenzo (a.k.a. Dilo and Elephant Pixel and member of the band Monotax) works diligently in his home studio. His musical tastes and influences include IDM, abstract hip-hop, indie rock, folk, minimal techno, click and electro -- all of which are represented throughout his various music productions. In 2003, Dilo (alongside Bruno De Vincenti a.k.a. Ivan Johnson) launched the cd label, Zensible. In 2005, he launched his own cd & mp3 label, Igloo, a musical platform that incarnates itself through electronic music's more innovative and versatile genres, stemming from IDM onwards to Minimal. In 2006 Dilo was included in the compilation "Aires Buenos" (in the u.s. label Unfoundsound). The same year Dilo produced a track for the essential french label Telegraph, included in the Post Office Special Argentina Madness (tel30), a compilation that brought together a new generation of experimental minimal techno artists from Argentina, including Seph, Violett, Franco Cinelli, Gurtz, Funzion, Jorge Savoretti & Leonel Castillo. He also has collaborations with his mates Gurtz, Seph, [a]pendics.Shuffle (together they are Cascabel Gentz), Franco Cinelli, Funzion, QiK, Shadi Megallaa, , Pablo Denegri, etc.

His music is currently released or forthcoming on Igloo and also Telegraph, Roman-Photo, Less iz More, Einmaleins, Esperanza, 11am, Adjunct, Unfoundsound, Sinergy Networks, Produkt, Airdrop, Sunset, Soma, Leftroom, and others.
