Both sound engineer and multi instrumentalist producer. The native of Tours distills a generous and groovy music, which draws from the whole universe of Black American music of recent decades, from Jazz of yesteryear to the current sweet RnB, through psychedelic rocknroll and the British triphop of the years 2000.

First producer of instrumental hip-hop, he collaborates with some local MCs then with artists with international influence such as Nekfeu, with whom he collaborates on the first album of the S-Crew.
In love with “analog” sound and the whole LoFi movement, Octo delivers neat productions that pay tribute to Jay Dee la, Pete Rock, Flying Lotus and other masters of the genre.
Always very attentive to current musical trends and a great lover of synthesizers, He also works on more electronic productions in a funky and disco style.

At the same time Octo composes musical beds for television and various production companies. He thus creates the soundtrack of the advertising campaigns of brands such as Nike, Adidas, Kaporal ..

His learning of sound recording techniques and his passage through the conservatory also regularly leads him to record works of classical and contemporary music.

Born in Barcelona, he got seduced by the 90’s electronic music radio shows, producing his first mixes by mixing tunes recorded from the radio on a classic double deck tape recorder. Since then, on the technical side, he’s gone through every format: vinyl, cdj, Traktor, Serato, Rekordbox, etc. 

On the truly essential, the music itself, he began buying USA and UK vocal house records (Black Vinyl, Defected), laying their tunes on the 2000’s in a music bar in Montmeló (BCN) followed by his interest for tech-house and minimal, but never giving up his soulful roots, and always focusing on the most dance-oriented electronic music, rightful heir of Chicago’s house scene. 

After moving to Madrid, he became resident DJ in venues such as Moondance, Ancora Madrid & La Boite, always showing a very personal crossover style. Graduated with honors as a professional audio engineer and started his very own music & cinema radio show, El Smiley Espacio Radiofonico. He’s also been 2014’s Resident DJ at Chueca FM, where he offered a 5-hour electronic music session every Saturday night. 

Currently, he’s the resident at Las Horas Matinal Club, Sal Morocco, Mostaza & The Hat Madrid, where he runs weekly DJ sets.
