About Me
Biography
Juan Taberner was born and raised in Mallorca, Spain in '85. In the early 90's, after his parents’ divorce, he moved with his mother to Holland. After years of playing around with tapedecks, keyboards and other stuff he got infected with the first electronic house sound that came to Holland. Spark was impressed with this sound, It surprised and intrigued him.
He found his way within this music and on his 10th birthday started to play with decks and a mixer. His neighbourhood friends gave him his nickname: Spark. After 4 years of playing hardcore music he realized that this was not the sound that he was looking for. He became more and more interested in experimental and dark sounds, he started turning techno.
During performances, Spark's preferred musical palette consists of three decks and a CD player. Always pushing the limits in combining dark, industrial and experimental sounds with hard and running beats. During his performances he’s typically to be seen grabbing, twisting and manipulating clusters of knobs, buttons and faders, concentrated, precise and always experimenting.
Nowadays, when not on the road, he's either mixing beats in his own studio and diligently searching for new material in record shops. His productions span the areas of dark, industrial, filthy, broken and running beats. With his own imprint "Mechanized Records" he wants to present the darker site of techno.
Together with his co-producer Oliver Clothesoff he did releases on well known labels as Systemcalls, Crowbar, Tekktribe, Fat.Tm, Friendly Fire e.a. With their own tracks they are compilated on different cd's.
