Bio:
English Bio:What do you do if none of your friends can DJ and you want to throw massive parties at your parents' house while they're away? You learn to DJ of course! Well, that's how Madrid born and bred DJ and producer, began his career, anyway. That was almost 12 years ago.
As a teenager, Thopa listened to bands like Sepultura, Metallica, Korn, Rage Against the machine, and soon he bought his first guitar and played in some Metal bands. Some time after, Clubs like Midday/ Middnight, Alien, The Room where starting to appear on Madrid’s night life, where Thopa discovered a new world of sound that would have great impact on his music style and tastes. It wasn’t long until he bought his first groove box, a Roland MC909 and started doing his first loops and rhythms.
When he was twenty he moved for to New York, Toulouse, and finally London where he got his club land education courtesy of London's finest club, the End, where he worked for three years - his one and only job in London. "It was one of the best times of my life," he remembers. "Very self consuming in all ways, but it was definitely worth it" It was during this time he met A-list DJs Ritchie Hawtin, Claudio Coccoluto and Laurent Garnier, and was inspired by their sets when he played at the End's sister club AKA.
Since then he's played at Bump (Bristol), Florida 135 Spain's WOMAD festival, at The End (London), and earned himself a residency at London's AKA and Sundance (Madrid)
He has released tracks on A Brandnewvibe, where his track "Bumping it" got support from Stacey Pullen, Kruse & Nurnberg... on Sk Supreme, Seta label (slowakia) where James Venturi remixed his track "Pequeño martillo rojo" Madrid’s Selected Label, Japans Fountain Music, on Tony Thomas’s Ambiosphere, who has remixed some of his tracks, and alongside Mastiksoul on Kitsam. Future releases include “ Las bogas saltarinas” "Spinnerbait" on Coincidence Records and "lipstick Freak show" on Selected label
His music has flavours of tech house, techno, minimal techno and even breaks in places. It's dark, it's intricate, and it builds and builds..
Thopa has always been a gadget fan; He loves his Lemur (not the animal but the futuristic controller from the French Jazzmutants) his Tenori on, and specially Native Instruments Reaktor” … So Check this space.
Bio Español:
Que harías si quieres montar fiestas con tus colegas, y ninguno sabéis pinchar? Pues aprendes! Así es como este madrileño, empezó sus andaduras hace más de doce años…
En su adolescencia Thopa escuchaba bandas como Metallica, Sepultura, y Korn, Rage Against the Machine..etc. lo que pronto le llevó a comprarse su primera guitarra. Durante esa época formo parte de varios grupos de Metal como guitarrista.
El tiempo fue pasando y en Madrid empezaron a abrir Clubs como el Midday / Middnight, Alien, The Room donde descubrió un mundo sonoro que no conocía entonces pero que inevitablemente cambiaria para siempre su estilo y gustos musicales. No paso mucho tiempo hasta que se compró su primera caja de ritmos, una Roland Mc909, y empezó a hacer sus primeros ritmos y loops.
Poco después se fue a vivir a Nueva York , después a Toulouse y luego a Londres, donde vivió varios años y trabajo en el mítico Club The End “Fue una de las mejores épocas de mi vida “recuerda. Fue durante esta temporada cuando conoció a gente como Richie Hawtin, Mr C, Layo& Bushwacka , Laurent Garnier.. y se inspiró en sus sesiones para adquirir su propio estilo, que plasmaba en su residencia en el club A.K.A, hermano pequeño del The end. Antes de dejar Londres se graduó como Ingeniero de Sonido por la SAE.
Desde entonces ha pinchado en clubs y festivales como Florida 135, Bump (Bristol) WOMAD de Cáceres, The End (Londres), A.K.A (Londres) y ha sido residente de A.K.A y Sundance (Madrid)
Ha publicado tracks en a BrandNewVibe, en donde su track "Bumpin it" tuvo apoyo de Stacey Pullen, Kruse & Nurnberg...en Sk supreme, Seta label, donde James Venturi ha remezclado su tema "Pequeño martillo Rojo" Selected Label (Madrid), Fountain Music (Japon), Ambioesphere (Inglaterra) donde Tony Thomas ha remezclado varios de sus temas, y en el Sello Kitsam, junto a Mastiksoul.Futuras referencias en Coincidence Records y Selected label y Seta label.
Su música tiene toques techno , minimal techno y con breaks. Es oscura, y crece y crece.
A Thopa siempre le han gustado los gadgets o aparatos raros. Desde sus Speak n Spell tuneado a su Lemur (no el animal divertido sino el futurista controlador de los franceses Jazzmutant), y especialmente el sinte modular de Native Intruments, Reaktor. Así que no pierdas de vista este espacio…
