Q. How did you first get into making music? What pushed you into the studio? When you started, were you purposefully looking at things from the point of view of a long lasting career?

A. I was charmed by the world of music so I started moving into the circles of nightlife. In mid-90s I was buying lots of music and later I started working as a salesman in the most important store of imported records in Madrid. It was there where the producer’s instinct kicked off, when I was able to know who were and still are the best DJs and producers in the market. These first years were the hardest in my effort to find a little opening through. But in 2000 during the mythical Static Sound System parties of the Fine Arts School I got the DJ Revelation prize of the year. That same year I released my first single Swimming Pool Sound-Sumergible which made a sensation on an international level, as it was released in countries like the UK, Australia or Italy. From that point onwards, I created my own label, called Inevitable Records. I’d say that I am satisfied from all these; it takes a lot of sacrifice but if you believe in what you’re doing, it’s worth it...

Q. What elements do you bring to your mixing and producing to keep it fresh and maintain a level of originality?

A. I try to stay in tune to the sounds I like, the more contemporary and surprising ones. It’s like trying to chose various different things that mean something if put together. This is what music is about after all.

Q. Can you make a little flashback and remember some highlights of your career so far? A great club, an unforgettable night, a good collaboration on decks?

A. I could talk to you about some DJ sets in Palma de Mallorca, New York, Copenhagen, Algarve in Portugal, in many more cities, many events and many friends. But I’d like to tell you about a very special place which is called Family Club and is located in Toledo, Spain. I worked there for five years in charge of the house zone booth. It is a huge place divided into different zones of music. It was impressive… when they had a special party there, we could have more than 4,000 people.
One of my best collaborations I recall was when I released some CDs for a British label called Dark Room Dubs, with remixes of hippie or silicone soul. This was a great project.

Q. You started DJing at the Fine Arts School’s Static Sound System parties. Do you see yourself becoming more involved in other forms of art as well? Apart from music, what else appeals to you?

A. The truth is that when I started playing long before in small clubs, I was very interested in the visual arts. All my time though is dedicated to music.

Q. What do you reply to comments like "dance music is dead" or "house is over" etc.?

A. Everybody is free to speak their mind. What is clear to me is that we live in a time when dance music is evolving, when it is constantly changing from place to place, from more classical forms to more progressive.

Q. If you were given the chance to organize a round table with two musicians, with which two do you reckon you could have the most creative or productive discussion on music?

A. With Bjork and Alan Wilder, an ex Depeche Mode member.

Q. Can you think of a top 10 of songs you like to play in your sets? Are there any particular groups and projects you fancy and you think they can give us something good?

A. I always liked groups that keep their own style but remix their songs on the dance floor. I recommend various groups, like Cycle el from Spain, or Gorillaz and Bloc Party. From dj/remixers like Andrea Bertolini, Hardfloor, Trentemoller, Juanma Rubio, G-Pal, Julian Jeweil, Mandy, Booka Shade. From the classics, I’d choose pieces by New Order and other stuff from that wonderful era.

Q. Is there a big difference in the music you prefer to listen at home and what you play in clubs?

A. Yes. Basically I like almost all styles. At home or in my car I listen to music that transmits something into my system. I’m very open to this, but on the other hand I don’t buy music having in mind my show in a club. People already know my style.

Q. What are your plans regarding future projects, work, events and other stuff related to your artistic pursuits?

A. I’m now waiting for the new maxis for the label -they’re already in the factory- and for a compilation of all the latest hits.
Also in the following weeks, end of June, at the Euro Gay Pride in Madrid I will collaborate in some grand events, like the Infinitamente Gay or the Aire Libre, which is going to take place at the Vazquez de Mella Sq. As a resident DJ at the Club The Angel in Madrid, I’m also responsible for the booth and the hiring of other DJs and producers. And in July, I will be performing at the Lalibi Club in Rome, Italy, and the following month in Palma de Mallorca and Ibiza.

Q. Finally, is it cool to be a DJ?

A. It all depends on how you see things. You have to sacrifice a lot, but yes, it is cool.
