Kastil | DJ & Live sets

Mientras en los 80 el centro de España expresaba la liberación socio-política del
país con el hedonismo de lo que después de conocería como “La movida
Madrileña”, en el norte de España se forjaba un sonido punk transgresor y
reivindicativo que marcó toda una generación. Desde entonces Euskadi mantiene la
tradición de una rica cultura musical alternativa.
En ese marco social y cultural crece Mario Castillo conocido actualmente con el
nombre artístico de Kastil. Su interés por la música se nutre directamente del auge
que la música electrónica tiene en la zona norte del país a finales de los 90 y que
coincide con su adolescencia durante la cual iniciará su aprendizaje como DJ.
Posteriormente se verá implicado en la promoción de eventos musicales y clubs
underground en el País Vasco. Será poco después cuando iniciará su producción
musical que definirá su trayectoria a partir de ese momento y que ya nunca dejará
de evolucionar hasta hoy en día.
En 2011 decide crear su propio sello bajo el nombre de “Soul Notes”, enfocado a la
música house underground y que está fuertemente influenciado por el sonido house
americano. La constante evolución de su trabajo como productor así como la
evolución del sonido de club de la escena techno; le lleva de una forma natural y
con clara vocación evolutiva a crear en 2015 un nuevo sello con el nombre de
“Stale”; dedicado al techno underground experimental y en el que edita su propia
música a la vez que invita a productores afines a publicar música de forma
esporádica.
Su pasión por el diseño de sonido, la mezcla y la producción a nivel profesional, le
han empujado en los últimos años a crear un sonido propio característico que
plasma tanto en sus producciones como en sus DJ sets o Live sets y que ha sido
reconocido por la escena internacional de artistas y clubs colocando a Kastil entre
uno de los máximos exponentes del techno de vanguardia internacional actual.
En el inicio de la década de los 20 sigue desarrollando su proyecto y
perfeccionando su sonido, al mismo tiempo que gana reputación como ingeniero de
mastering y colabora con otros artistas en proyectos como “No Spiritual Surrender”
o “Yelling Meltdown”.

Live Recordings 008 | KASTIL | 27.01.23

En esta entrega nos transportamos a la noche del 27 de enero para recordar una sesión que pasará a nuestra historia. Una lección de baile y criterio en la que el vitoriano Kastil nos daba un viaje por su sonido, intenso y contundente, con toques ácidos y otros muchos detalles que hicieron de estas tres horas una oda a la música electrónica.

Muchas gracias a todos por formar parte de esto.

Kastil's interest in music is directly nourished by the rise of electronic
music in the northern area of the country at the end of the 90s, which coincides with his adolescence during which he will begin his apprenticeship as a techno DJ at first.

His passion for sound design, mixing and professional production has driven him in recent years to create a characteristic sound of his own that he captures both in his productions and in his DJ or Live sets, and which has been recognized by the international scene of artists and clubs placing Kastil among one of the leading exponents of current international avant-garde techno, playing in some of the most
respected clubs like Berghain, Tresor or Elysia. His live performances have been praised for their innovative approach improvising with modular synthesizers and their ability to push the boundaries of the genre.

Kastil's trajectory has been one of constant evolution, at the beginning of the 20s, he continues to develop his project and refine his sound and gaining reputation by the international music community as a mastering & mixing engineer, working from his
studio refining the sound for some crucial labels in the shadows, and collaborating with other artists on projects such as "No Spiritual Surrender" or "Yelling Meltdown”.

This week we’re pleased to share an excellent mix from Kastil, AKA Mario Castillo, a DJ and producer from the Basque Country. Kastil has been around all parts of music, from different genres to working as a journalist and a club promoter. In 2010 he got serious about production and soon created his own Soul Notes imprint. The mix he shares this week is informed by a sense of what makes a set actually work, making the most of the movements from track to track.

D-Node 259: Kastil | Soul Notes

Out now the One-Hundred Tenth "OECUS Podcast".
This show with guest: KASTIL

Grown up in the heydays of techno, Mario Castillo quickly gained notoriety for his intense sets and fine skills behind three decks. Owning an afterclub and managing underground parties asserted his maturity, giving shape to a formed independence that led him to start with music production and open his own vinyl label Soul Notes in 2011.
While the imprint achieved great yield in the house club scene, a natural mutation arised towards his roots and the genres of techno, surfacing the new vinyl outfit Stale where he is now immersed with his own recordings and a paired functionality, crafting a fresh artistic range, home to techno and experimental works by Irazu, Deapmash, I-Real and more, and at once extending praise to respected artists with remixes by the likes of Regis, Lag, Pessimist or Acronym.
A few artists have a catalogue as diverse as Kastil, since origin, a gradual change take place, all time pushed forward by a knowledge hunger and impulsivity to master his sound artistry. In this change surge the dedication to drive boundaries to new territories in 2016, giving shape to an improvised live set with modular synths that forces to land unique mastery of musical instruments and his own sound, raising expectation on each show.
With the acclaimed debut album as No Spiritual Surrender with J.C., and a rising solid reputation due latest solo releases played by DVS1, Adam Beyer, Marcel Dettmann, DJ Pete, Cosmin TRG, Dax J, Matrixxman, and Truss, to name a few, he is attaining a place in the international club scene with recent gigs at renowned techno clubs like Tresor or Elysia, and strongly setting up for another successful year.
