About Me


SINTES, VOCODERS Y CAJAS DE RITMO es una colección de cortes mezclados y editados en un homenaje al groove sintético. Recorre tres décadas (1978-2008) de colisión entre el funk y el electro con protagonistas de excepción como el slap bass, los handclaps, los teclados eléctricos, los burbujeos de sintetizador, las voces transformadas y el talento de cientos de artistas condensado en una hora de electro boogie funk.

Mis vinilos con Chinatown .
My vinyls with Chinatown .
Vivo en Madrid pero soy de Santander. Colecciono discos, los hago, los pincho y escribo sobre ellos. Pero vivo de currar en otras cosas, como todo el mundo.
Me gusta repasar mis viejos discos en mi fotolog y hablar de los nuevos en las páginas de Serie B .
Cuando produzco hago ritmos estrictamente hip hop para Chinatown . Desde nuestra página o nuestro MySpace puedes escuchar temas, ver vídeos o bajarte mixtapes y freestyles.
Pero cuando pincho mezclo hip hop, soul, funk, electro,... Si quieres comprobarlo, puedes escuchar una mixtape que hice con DJ Tres cuando él vivía en España y tumbábamos los garitos. Bájatela haciendo clic aquí .
Ahora también acompaño a El Sr. Rojo como su dj de directo.
I live in Madrid but I'm from Santander, Spain. I collect records, make records, play records and write about records. Anyway, I live on my daily job, as everybody else.
I review my old records in my fotolog and talk about the new ones writing for the Serie B Magazine.
When it comes to making beats, I do it strictly hip hop for Chinatown , my people. You can listen to our music, see some videos or download mixtapes and freestyles from our web page or our MySpace .
But when I play records I drop hip hop, soul, funk, electro,... If you dare to check it, listen to the mixtape I did with my man DJ Tres when he was still living in Spain and we used to rock clubs. Download it here if you want.
Nowadays I'm playing live too with my friend El Sr. Rojo as his live dj.

My Interests

I like music. And records.
I got some other interests too. I used to do some half-pipe skating. And I used to dance.
Now I have new aims. I'm learning english and how to play bass. And I'm doing some musical movements as well... more in the future.

To read about my interests you can check my fotolog too.

I'd like to meet:


Lee esto:

Quiero conocer a todos menos a los de "Gracias por el add", "Nuevos temas en mi espacio" o "Mira qué bueno estoy sin camiseta".
Gracias.
