FUNKELUYA

About Me

Funkeluya djs (3mv) was born in 2006 by the hand of Salvation & JaviF!, a couple of deejays from Valencia (Spain), who decided to combine their expectations in a joint project. Their sessions are a good way to understand the black music, and in their sets they show a very eclectic sound that go from funk to hiphop, going through soul, bebop or latinjazz, without forgetting some infarct classic. With a wide background on both sides, their sets varies depending on the place and time, but always with the premise that people enjoy in the dancefloor. At the moment they are working in the creation of an own record label with own and other artists productions, taking as it bases the electronic dance music, in all its basins. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Salvation - he is born in Lyon in 1976. With 18 years he moved to Valencia, where he lives since then. His passion by electronic music begins in summer 1994 in Spain, where he used to come every year from holiday. Years later this liking would become a complete dedication to the dance music, developing sessions in clubs, festivals...

In the 90’s he participates in some projects as guitarist and composer. With a very wide and eclectic taste, in his collection is possible to be found from reggae to hiphop, going through jazz or bossa, but it is funk music that make him to change or alternate the guitar with turntables.

Sounds Like: FUNKELUYA DJS (3mv) nace en el año 2006 de la mano de Salvation y JaviF!, dos deejays de la escena Valenciana que deciden aunar sus fuerzas en un proyecto conjunto, tomando la música de baile como denominador común. Sus sesiones son una buena manera de entender la música negra, sets muy eclécticos que van desde el funk al hiphop, pasando por el soul, bebop o latinjazz, sin olvidarse de algunos clásicos de infarto. Con un background muy amplio por parte de los dos, consiguen que sus sets varíen mucho dependiendo del lugar y la hora, pero siempre con la premisa de que la gente disfrute en la pista de baile. Actualmente están trabajando en la creación de un sello propio que esperemos pronto vea la luz con producciones propias y de otros artistas, tomando como base la música electrónica de baile en todas sus vertientes.
Record Label: coming soon
Type of Label: Indie
