The first chapter is dedicated to the Argentine and there Cattaneo tries to clear up several preconceptions that revolve around those who work “at night.” At least he says that although he has a profession that mostly happens during the early hours of the morning, when he returns home, he gets up to take his daughters to school like anyone else. He also points out that he practices yoga and leads a healthy life.

The episode narrates an event that changed his life almost magically. On one occasion he had to share a date with Chemical Brothers y Paul Oakenfold. But due to a disagreement and a last-minute change of hours, Cattaneo, who was going to open the show, was left in the middle between the two. He decided to make a gesture of greatness with Oakenfold, whom he greatly admired. As at that time the Chemical were the best known and had left the audience very excited, the Argentine decided to lower the energy with his set, so that Oakenfold might give the final touch and shine in his turn.

The plan worked and Oakenfold, in addition to seeing Cattaneo as a great artist, saw a playing partner and, without hesitation, took him with him to play around the world. Cattaneo left his resident position at the Buenos Aires nightclub “Pachá” and from then on he began to establish himself as an artist recognized in the world.
