Who knows some about that? any favourites?
Oscar Mulero?
Cristian Varela makes some awesome tracks - heard a few goodies from Bando - but Varela's seem to hit the mark each and evertime for me.
Muleros certainly the top dog along with christian wunsch and reeko.
toni rios and paco osuna are also decent djs too.
Toni Rios was ****ing amazing when I saw him at Cocoon - wiped the floor with Sven Vath's set that night!
not exactly difficult though is it?? ;)Quote:

isn't villalobos spanish?
If so, him
I always assumed south american.Quote:

On a similar subject, what does everyone think od Mulero?
Have never heard him play, but his reputation makes me want to. Am I missing someone worth seeing?
He's Chilean or Uruguayan, not sure which. And how about we don't mention him around here again? :rambo:Quote:

Hmmm i think Toni Rios is not spanish; Villalobos is from south america i think too... But Oscar Mulero and Varela & Bando are Spanish.
I'm not sure if Grovskopa is Spanish, i thinked he was from eastern europe, slovakian or near there...as Rumenige and Loktibrada.
From Spain i prefer the mixing skills of Oscar Mulero, a great reference for me ;) Equalisation master thru the mixes...
I like the dark "offbeat" techno from Exium, Wunsch and Reeko, but i always thinked that are not good accepted around Europe... people prefer another kind of techno.
PD: I'm spanish too ;)
I just don't get with the hype at all. Many tracks I've heard bore the pants off me.Quote:

I guess my main gripe is the fact that much of stuff lacks energy and just doesn't belong on the dancefloor. A bit too pipe and slippers for me.
Granted Villalobos mightn't think that all his material is mainly for club use, many others do though :neutral:
But is minimalische, ja?Quote:

Fair points, but this is a matter of personal taste. Personally I think he makes good listening / driving music. Not sure if I would appreciate his productions in a club.Quote:

Noodly - man, you should have heard Mathew Jonson play Sonar this year. I have never heard such rampant noodling.
Love the 'spanish' sound, oscar mulero is the fcukin daddy!
too bloody right he is but doesn't get enough bookings in this countryQuote:

Anyway I'm going way off topic.
Back on topic, that guy Cage that was on Infecta a while back is a very good producer, makes some top electro under another name too.
Maybe because is only well known by people who are djs too...not by the crowd.Quote:

'Marionette' is an absolute classic.Quote:

Which is just a little embarrasing really...
But like you said, off topic.
More Spain - they got it going on over there. Really good attitude towards techno, what it is and what is does for crowds. A spirit I find sadly lacking in the UK
Grovskopa's from Sweden but lives in Madrid I think.Quote:
