About Me

Jose, who also goes by the moniker of Phunk Floyd, was born in 1971. He started early being involved with music at the age of 12 when he was introduced to the classical genre. Later, at the age of 14, he started his first electronic rock band playing covers of Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, New Order, and others. After 3 years he decided to join forces with Domingo Caballero a.k.a Dezzy, who is one of the most influencial faces of Ecuador’s electronic scene. They started their own project called ’Darkness’, releasing their first 12" ’Frustration/Just A Joke’ in 1990. The single was relatively successful around the country and on the radio stations. Jose took a break to study in the States for four year soon after this. After his return, he formed the first live electronica act in Ecuador called ’Ultra 7’ with his partner Dezzy. They played music that ranged from Ambient to Drum & Bass to Breaks. This opened the door for and inspired many others to create live act in the country and made the scene begin to flourish. Jose left ’Ultra 7’ when he saw the possibilities of his DJ career taking off. He began DJing at Pelikano Beach Club and also producing tracks ranging from minimal tech to house and progressive. Jose is now known in Ecuador as one of the founding fathers of the electronic music scene. He regularly DJs next to world famous talent such as Danny Howells, John Digweed, Anthony Pappa,Deep dish, hernan cattaneo, Jimmy Van M, Lexicon Avenue, James Zabiela , Mr. C, Rowan blades, Ripperton ,ryan crosson, Gurtz ,seph, Dean coleman,Martin Garcia, Tiesto, Leama,London 909,Willy San Juan, Vich & Berger, Tony mass, alejandro vivanco,Ricky ryan and many more. He is busy with his record label ’Tiwintech’, which he runs with his partner Danny Casarano. The label has two releases slated for next year. After playing in virtually ever South American country, Jose plans on taking on Europe in 2006. He currently hosts a weekly clubnight in Guayquil called "Mumba" which has achieved much success and is driving the local scene. Currently, Jose is in the studio with the up and coming electronica act ’Mute’ and working on his first artist album. Through his featured artist mix on Proton it is easy to see why Jose is such a maverick player in the South American music scene.
