AS DJS
They started to spin as a hobbie at the Belio presentation parties, the hobbie turned into a job when they founded the drum’n'noise collective and they started to organizate parties andconcerts…
Usually their sets have a broken and noisy style, obviously industrial, in which they mix drum’n'bass, electro, break and digital distortions. A sound-collage that includes tracks from Ant-Zen, Hymen, Hands, D.H.R., Rephlex, MentalIndustries, Tigerbeat, Ad Noiseam… exactly what they define as drum’n'noise. Under the name ‘drum’n'noise’ they regularly havebeen organizing parties in Spain since 2000 with guest bands like Imminent, Sonar, Needle Sharing, Proyecto Mirage, Axiome, Placid, End…
They have been spinning in clubs all over Spain, like Coppelia 101, Soma, Nature, MDF*, Soundstation (Lieja/Belgium), El Sol, Dark Hole, Quick, Radar… or at festivals like Evantec, Pronostica, Arco, Maschinenfest (Germany), Resistance (Bratislava), Stopwars Urban Act, Musica Ex Machina…
