An idol is someone who seems unattainable; like a god. And DJs are not gods." Kill your idol: DJ Ser Silvestre follows his own path. And this led the self-taught Spanish DJ to learn how to scratch at the age of 18. From baby scratches without faders and hip-hop, a borrowed 12-inch record collection full of techno records from the 2000s to 2006 led him to electronic music. 

Today, 14 years later, the 32-year-old - whose real name is Manuel Ambrojo Perera - can look forward to a promising future on the turntables. With the experience of over a hundred DJ gigs, he is a man in the booth who has perfected his mixing skills and has developed the ability to create a dramaturgy with his selection that is both surprising and feels like coming home at the same time. 

DJ gigs and several years of living in Zurich, Seville, Hamburg and most recently Berlin, as well as countless hours spent in record stores around the world, such as Hardwax in Berlin or Zardos in Hamburg, have resulted in an iconic record collection and a differentiated perception of sounds and atmospheres for the dancefloor. Always between the poles of ecstasy and modesty, DJ Ser Silvestre leads the audience through his sets with stylistic confidence and captivates them - always at the cutting edge of the momentum.

My love for music all started when I started dancing competitively at age 11, rhythm became my second nature. I soon realized I cared more about what track was playing rather than my dance moves. Inspired by the rich sounds of my homeland and the eclectic rhythms of the international music scene, I craft sets that transport my audience into a transcendent atmosphere filled with hypnotic and groovy sounds. My passion for music is fueled by my desire to create a space where people can lose themselves in the rhythm and simply just dance. I believe in the power of music to evoke emotions and unite people, and I aim to make my music a testament to that philosophy. With each piece, I aim to make everyone feel on top of the world, leaving them with unforgettable memories and a sense of euphoria.
