🎧 Barcelona-based DJ | Speedy Sandy aka SCone
👩🏻‍🤝‍👨🏼 Co-founder of Gala Collective
⭐️ Resident DJ at EMBRACE Collective
🧑🏼‍🎨 Dancefloor Creator at EMBRACE Collective

Originally from Berlin and now based in Barcelona, Speedy Sandy has been shaping dancefloors since 2004. Formerly known under the alias SCone, he began his journey spinning hip hop in small clubs before diving deep into electronic music culture. His sets today blend elements of house, techno, acid and trance—always energetic, fresh and often unexpected.

With a deep connection to the EMBRACE Collective, Speedy Sandy is not only a resident DJ but also a driving force behind the creative and visual concepts that define the collective’s immersive events and festivals.

Known for his ability to read the room and build evolving journeys through sound, Speedy Sandy avoids fixed tracklists in favor of spontaneous energy and raw emotion. Every set is different—shaped by the moment, the crowd, and the vibe.

He is also one half of Gala Collective, a collaborative project with DJ Gala D, where the duo brings their unique synergy and shared musical vision to life in back-to-back performances.

🎶 No boundaries, no formulas—just connection through rhythm.

Lofty, piercingly deep synth and electronic sounds and matching accompanying moments for those deep or deep house sounds harshly nestling within me while exploring and mentally capturing this world, exercising or expressing myself, a merging of circumstances I have a dogged affinity for. The depths of the emotions rolling in my sombre heart escape to the outside world only out of this spooky, floaty medium, the outputs of synthesisers... I guess my SoundCloud is to simply make a note of as well as share music I love, music I find wonderful and music important to me, my memories in a city environment and my approaches to life at the times or during the phases when I would listen on repeat to certain songs... And I wish I had never deleted my old or original SoundCloud, which was richer with playlists and songs I didn't make a note of and have now forgotten and ran from spring 2014 to early 2018. I mainly am into deep house and melodic ambient and minimal or melodic techno music, or music with associated sounds provoking the thought of a heavy journey unique to yourself or the progress of groundbreaking work or merely a speedy late night stride or ramble in solitude, but I like to classify or refer to my taste in music as me simply loving deep, wistful, melodic percussive sounds without any genre titles acknowledged. I would like to think I have a reasonable eye (or ear) for picking out/noticing when I hear what I’m aiming for, memory-inducing, beautiful or more endearing music very much in the specific realm of the shade of deep house and melodic IDM I am most into as the auditory material from which a range of heartfelt visualisations, feelings and reminiscences spring in me. As we all may do over time, I would think I sort of have developed an individual, intricate sense for music which evokes a sense of there being something deeply felt, sombreness, seriousness, complexity or overwhelmment. I’ve looked out for beautiful deep-sounding music since I began to listen to deep house in 2010 through 'pirate' UK radio stations back then like Unknown FM, Passion FM, Select FM and Point Blank FM. I have a real enthusiasm in me for such music, along with any clear mergers between it and classical musical instruments, and especially an enthusiasm in the ideas I get within myself and in the back of my mind of relating the sounds I am hearing and used to in the deep house music genre to sceneries or landscapes or visual moments around me in life. For instance, I relate and associate music with viewpoints, memorably distinct lines of sight I randomly come across, specific locations with a bubble of buildings of a certain form of architecture to them, and varying urban or less urban places within the city and countryside settings I've hugely explored the wide-ranging sights and suburbs of, and landscapes beyond. In honesty, I'd only love to better capture the basic concept I'm getting at by recreating exactly it in audiovisual ways... The deeper, the ever darker, and unwaveringly starker.
