Last Friday DJ Who came by the station to spin over two hours disco and modern soul. He’s part of BLUE LIGHTS IN THE BASEMENT with Nacho Larache and holds down a number of residencies at clubs in Madrid. Follow the link to see their upcoming schedule and to check out more music. Super fun to have him live in the studio that night with the added bonus of a visit from our mutual friends Peter Reyes, Larry Love and Richie Bell. Shout out to Francis and Hector who came by to hang out as well!

Tireless record collector and former member of BlackBookSessions,
music and contemporary art nights in the capital of Spain that have been more than six years inviting international artists such as Platinum Pied Pipers, SA-RA, Phil Asher, Dam-Funk, Mark de Clive-Lowe, J-Rocc, Theo Parrish, DJKrush, Benji B, Bugz In The Attic or King Britt among many others.

In 2007 he moved to London, where he was offered work in one of the most exclusive soul, hip hop and jazz shop in the city: IF Music. It's here, when driven by the huge number of records that passed through his hands he begins to develop a taste for the roots of the different styles, especially black American music. Soul, jazz-funk and disco
began to be the base from which to explore a more electronical future
as soulful house or broken beat, genres that he also dominates.

After a stint in UK, he gets ahead of the musical direction of the 5 stars luxury Hotel Puerta America in Madrid, combining his presence with multiple nights in different clubs of the spanish capital such as the legendary funk club Kathmandu, the main house club in the city Charada or the underground funk/latin/afrobeat concert venue Juglar or more recently Cafe Berlin, while he collaborates in different monthly parties as Conguito (funk/disco/latin), Touché (eclectic) or Chango (house).

He currently has joined the Spanish deejay Nacho Larache to create'' Blue Lights In The Basement'', a project dedicated mainly to disco, boogie, modern soul, rare groove & soulful house.
