Denite Musik

Berlin-based artist Denite introduction to electronic music came in the 90’s at the age of fourteen. He used to spend countless hours by the DJ booth in a small club in his hometown in Spain, always amazed by the DJ’s ability to create an emotional journey when playing music for a crowd. In 1995 he got his first set of turntables and started mixing his first records. In 1998, influenced by bands like Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Green Day, he started playing guitar, drums and bass, performing in bands for a number of years.

In 2002, a move to Frankfurt introduces him to Drum&Bass via the local scene, sparking his interest for electronic music and the jazzy and soulful side of Drum&Bass in particular. In 2003 Denite moves to Thessaloniki in Greece where he plays his first DJ sets and produces his first tracks signed as Gari Marcos. 2008 sees him move back to Spain and begin work on his new house-oriented Project, taking on the moniker of Denite. Taking in all his previous musical influences and turning them into one unified style, he releases his first 12” on the german imprint Resopal Red in 2010. That year also sees the inception of his own label, Redlight Music.

In 2012 Denite puts the finishing touches to his first electronic live set and tours the United States and Spain for the first time. That same year, he becomes resident DJ in one of Spain’s main electronic music clubs, Metro Dance Club, sharing the Dj booth with artists like Loco Dice, Solomun, Âme, John Digweed, Rolando, Nick Fanciulli, Nick Curly and Marc Romboy. His broad musical background, allows him to play sets that run from Deep House to Techno, while always remaining loyal to a rhythmic groove and melody.

Denite’s productions are highly influenced by his time he spent playing in live bands and by the more rhythmic and melody-driven Drum&Bass of the early 2000s. These influences are perceptible in his drums, bass lines, melodies, percussive grooves and his characteristic sound and touch on keys. His releases have graced the shelves of such labels as Diynamic, Get Physical, Third Ear Recordings as well as his own Redlight Music imprint. His remix work has been commissioned by the likes of Thomas Schumacher, Deepchild and Echonomist, appearing on labels like Noir Music, Trapez Ltd and Resopal Schallware.

His debut album is set for release May 2016. “Everything I Know And I Will Never Know About You” boasts twelve tracks written in three different cities: New York, Elche in Spain and Berlin. Denite explores new genres in the album, diving deeper into electronica, pop and house while keeping his very personal touch on drums and keys. The recording sessions started in New York during Denite's first US Tour in September 2012. After 3 weeks of taking in inspiration and ideas from the city, the Spanish producer had readied the first ideas for the album. Back on home turf in southern Spain, Denite began work on those blueprints, over the course of several months of emotional studio sessions, before putting the project on hold for close to two years. It was only after his move to Berlin that production resumed. Final recordings saw the light of day after more months of intense studio work.
