Juan Sanchez is one of the most promising artists within the international techno scene. His track selection of sophisticated house and tasty techno is an excellent blend of emotion and energy. It is this refined musical vision, a string of (inter)national bookings and red hot productions and remixes that made him one of 2009’s most sought after artists and one to watch closely in the coming months. Juan has shared prestigious peak time spots with the likes of Derrick May, Josh Wink, Gregor Tresher, Funk D'Void, Guido Schneider and Âme on a variety of national and international stages. As a matter of fact, Juan has occupied sought after residencies at Holland's popular Rekorder and Rockit events as well as having performed at Barcelona’s The Loft, Ibiza’s Blue Marlin venue and the famed Sonar Festival in Spain.
Juan, who hails from a Spanish-Dutch family, began his musical career at the early age of eight, when he fell in love with the guitar. He honed his musical skills by playing in various bands, thereby continuously expanding his musical vision and transcending the boundaries of rock. His broad taste, natural skills, and passion for all things electronic saw Juan rapidly growing out to become one of the most prolific DJs and performers in the scene, with his name gracing the line-ups of recognized clubs and festivals both in the Netherlands, after he went on to rock international floors with gigs in Ibiza, Spain and Bulgaria.
Next to making waves as an internationally respected DJ, Juan also proved to be a skilled producer and remixer. His tunes have appeared on a variety of lauded labels such as Darko Esser’s Wolfskuil Recordings, his brother’s Bla Bla imprint, and the recognized German Great Stuff label, garnering respect from big names such as Laurent Garnier, Andre Galuzzi, Karotte, and Steve Rachmad.
October 2009 saw his most recent track Dr. Kneep being released on Gregor Tresher’s Break New Soil with early support coming from the likes of Joris Voorn, Josh Wink and Anton Pieëte.
Needless to say that we’re going to hear a lot more of Juan in years to come…
