Mom

MoM experienced his very first contact with a turntable in 1989, in his town of birth Córdoba (Spain), led to it by an impassioned attraction of Acid-House music and the earliest Funky-Disco editions. His professional leap arrived with a techno code, within local clubs like Teiker and Plató, both state-of-the-art models of electronic music spots.

He met Miguel Martin in this period, a much more experienced DJ, who just empowered his passion for either electronic or not-electronic music as well. The last editions of the Spanish record label Contraseña are sublime memories of that time, whose electric guitar bands’ maxi-single versions were clearly focused on the dance floor. Due to such a great impact, and after his early dead, MoM would dedicate a radio programme series to his memory, in a local station.

The first years‘ overflowing energy started turning into a restless search of music deepness, the label WORKS’ deep-house being the beginning of o change that , after several years, would be related to a substantial drawdown of pitch in the tracks also.

His wide experience altogether with creativity headed MoM to a new professional challenge, successfully leading the marketing department of the record label Pep’s Records (Madrid).

The attempt of a conventional life failed, and he went back to his city Córdoba, where he was able to combine his DJ career with nightlife management activity, until he finally created Submarine Club, one of the most state-of-the-art clubs in Andalucia which could survive a few years, despite of the extreme difficulties such a club must face in a town like Córdoba.

There’s an intense attraction for artists like Dixon, Acid Pauli, Nu, Bedouin, Rampue, Amê, Guy Gerber, Nicolas Jaar, Mira, Feathered Sun, Damian Lazarus, DJTennis, Mano Le Tough, Art Department, Adriatique, Mario Basanov or David August, and record labels like Innervisions, Crosstown Rebels, Visionquest, Diynamic, Bpitch Control, Sol Selectas, Underyourskin Records or Robot Heart in this period.

He recorded Home within the renowned Mexican label Akumandra (Andante) in December 2105, a three-hours-mix composed by artists such as Feathered Sun, Nicola Cruz, Oceans Orientalis, Sabo or LUM among others. This definitely marked a turning point in his career, because of its worldwide echoes online listening average besides the arrival of first edits which become essential in DJ’s cases like Rampue, Acid Pauli, Mika Dutsch, Milo Häfliger, Goldcap, Just Emma, Eduardo Castillo, etc. One of them, Nicolas Jaar’s-And I Say, was 2016 top ten on the free download plattform Sweet Melodic.

Besides, he interspersed mixes of a noted slow trend within labels like Heimlich, Konn Recordings or Deepist, with some of a more progressive line as well as a higher BPM, within the New Yorker record label Bespoke Musik.



The biggest transformation comes when he moves to Conil de la Frontera, Cádiz. The etnic element acquires a higher profile, and the interest of making his own works beguins to come true. He meets Jose Carlos Akal, a half of the eclectic sevillian band Holed Coin which soon becomes well known, and they created Holed of MoM, a production format including remixer and live set, that has already been performed in cities such as Berlín. Now they have just published their first remix, Foreign Guest-Morva (Holed of MoM remix) within Underyourskin Records, and Aa/ZZK Records will publish the second single by Rio Mira, which is called Agua and includes a Holed of MoM-remix.

His first EP together with some unpublished tracks - within labels like Heimlich and Tropical Twista, will see the light in this 2017.

For music, as well as for living, MoM learns how to enjoy the process by downplaying the importance of the goal. A performance which can always be summed up by the word: l@ve.
