JL MAGOYA
JL is the best known, most influential, most succesful electronic Spanish DJ outside the boundaries of Techno. In a place, Spain, where all festivals and bigger clubs and events are virtually always headlined by a Techno artist, JL has always been the exception to the rule. His mix of house beats, funky grooves and electronic feel has remained and been recognized as JL's own and his distinctive style is truly a reference of what's being heard in Spain. Born and raised in Argentina, where he started his carreer studying music in a conservatory and as a part of many bands, JL moved to Madrid aged 19, in 1987. During summer1988, JL stayed in London for three decisive months, where he discoved and took part of the Acid House explosion which was sweeping away the Brithish Isles and then the world. He decided to take up the decks and it all started from there. Back in Madrid he began playing and then promoting club nights regularly, which he has been doing since non stop.
From 89 till 94 he was a resident at Madrid's best nights, such as Stella or Bocaccio. In 94 he starts co-promoting his own club, the legendary Midday after hours. He starts booking DJs, something absolutely unheard of in Madrid by that time. The likes of Herbert, John Acquaviva, David Alvarado, Ralph Lawson, DJ Vibe, Luke Solomon, among many more left their mark here. Many remember Midday as Madrid's greatest ever.
After Midday came Deep, his current residency. Started as a summer club in Marbella in 97 and then went on to Madrid in 98. Co-run with ex-wife Susie, an English expatriate in Spain, Deep took things up to the next level in many ocasions. Deep's been to blame of most of the great names' first ever performance in Madrid or Spain. Carl Cox, Richie Hawtin, Jeff Mills, Roger S‡nchez, Erick Morillo, John Digweed, Laurent Garnier, Frankie Knuckles, Dave Morales, Franois K, Dave Clarke, Green Velvet among many many more have all performed here. Again, Deep is the reference for music state of things in Madrid and Spain. As a consequence of this, since 97 and till the present day, JL started gigging constantly . He's played at virtullally every club there is in Spain, such as Florida 135, Space Ibiza, La Real, Metro, etc and he is an obligatory feature in every festival there's been too: Sonar (x3), Monegros (x7) Benicassim (x2), Esparrago (x2) etc. He's played all around Europe, France, Portugal, Italy, UK, Macedonia, Switzerland, Germany and Holand at clubs such as the Rex or the Loft. He's also toured Agentina and Colombia.
As a producer, he put out his main works for Spanish labels such as Boozo, Elefant or Minifunk. He released two 12's for California Bomb Records. He's put out three volumes of the widely known "The Deep Collection" mix-CD series. The forth one is due for next summer.
At the moment JL and Deep are busier than ever, and moving with the times. These days we can see FC Kahuna, Justin Robertson, Dan Ghenacia, Slam, Steve Bug, Derrick Carter or DJ T behind the decks. Peole like Carl Cox or Erick Morillo are headlining Deep's special events, such as the one that took place last October 04, which 10.000 people attended. JL is in the process of building a new studio in order to launch a label during 05. Let's just wait, see and listen
