BOOKING: toni@estadella.eu JT&Co's Partner and Resident DJ. @balearicamusic Ibiza collaborator. Braai Begur Pirata Palamós El Refugi Palamós
As a child, Toni grew up surrounded by music in a home where radio was listened more than television was watched. Spanish music, rock, disco, funk, jazz, everything that the radio of the recent Spanish democracy could offer.
At only 14 years old, he already had a HI-FI equipment in which he recorded "cassettes" (tapes) with musical selections from different radio programs influenced by the first compilations mixed in Spain by DJs such Mike Platinas and Javier Ussia, or the great DJ of Studio54 Barcelona Raúl Orellana, one of his greatest references.
His career as a DJ began like so many others, in his bedroom, making simple mixes with two HI-FI turntables equipped with pitch and a simple four-channel mixer without equalization. Later the Technics SL-1200MKII would come into his life, a fact that changed everything giving him the security and technique that has accompanied him until digital has relegated analog to a secondary position.
Since young, Toni has always been a music lover and a fan of other DJ's, especially resident DJ's, who work hard with their crowd every day. This turned him into a “club tourist” who took advantage of every opportunity to enjoy (and to learn) in clubs from London to Toulouse, from Valencia to Madrid or Ibiza.
He began his career as a professional DJ in the late 80s working through different booths of clubs, venues and events focused especially on the province of Barcelona, in Catalonia, Spain. Getting to act either as a resident DJ or guest DJ until 2006, the year in which his only daughter would be born and in which he would reduce his performances to a minimum to take care of her and dedicate himself to another of his great passions, graphic design.
Influenced, above all, by Chicago House, Acid House and North-European EBM, his career has always focused on a single goal: to create unforgettable moments, whether on a dance floor or in a lounge bar enjoying a sunset, but ALWAYS playing a good selection of the best electronic music.
Today, in a new stage marked by his collaborations with Balearica Radio Ibiza as partner of JT&Co and his sets in Girona, Toni keeps djing with the same style that has always caracterized him: cool, smooth, but the punch required to create unforgettable moments in a dance floor.
