How did you get into production?
I’ve been into music all my life. When I was a teenager I was playing in metal bands as a drummer. Then in the mid nineties I discovered my brother’s computers and I saw the light.

What are your influences within techno?
Thomas Brinkmann, Richie Hawtin, Carl Craig, Rhythm Maker, Chimo Bayo, Tadeo, and Damian Schwartz.

What are your influences outside techno?
Chet Baker, Coltrane, Primus, Nino Rota, Sinatra, Amorphis, and Criatura.

What do you think of the European techno scene at the moment?
The European scene is good, I think it’s the biggest in the world, but really it’s too big to talk about as one scene. The Spanish scene isn’t so good at the moment, it seems to be growing now, but there aren’t that many good artists here and clubbing is going backwards. In Germany,
Switzerland, Belgium or the UK, for example, everything is totally different. The clubs are
always full of people.

What do you enjoy more: DJing or producing?
It’s a different kind of enjoyment. Maybe DJing is more fun, but producing feeds the soul.

What makes you unique as a producer?
I don’t know if I am. Being different is the most important thing for a producer, though.

Do you try to create an emotional response with your music, or just make people dance? Is home listening more important to you, or use in the club?
Use in the club, of course. It really depends which of my music you mean: my 12"s on Trapez and CMYKmusik I made just for dancing, but my album 'Dispositivos de mi Granja' was created for all kinds of people and all environments.

Are you a perfectionist?
Not at all. I’m always working hard in my head, thinking about combining music, party, art and the avant-garde. I delete hundreds of projects from my computer just because they are nothing special, nothing new. But in the working process, I’m not such a perfectionist.

What's the best thing about being a techno DJ/producer?
For me, everything. I can’t imagine my life without being a musician. To discover new ways of developing music and art is always exciting. Also travelling and knowing people from all over the world is good.

What's your next release?
I’ve got four 12“s coming out over the next seven months. Collage on +8, which is conceptual dancefloor-oriented tracks; part 2 of Multiplicanciones on Apnea, this is my most personal music; and another 12“ on Trapez - this is a new genre, it’s not trance, it’s not techno, it’s not house, but it has things that relate to all those genres; and finally Naranja Monje on CMYKmusik.

What are your plans for the future?
I’ll work as a producer for the next eight years, then I’ll move with my wife and son to Phuket, in south Thailand, and run a stall on the beach selling crepes with fruit and toffee.
