Javier Carballo

In the early 90’s my first girlfriend’s father had a Technics SL B303, that was my first contact with a Pitch turntable and being able to manipulate the tempo and bpms, was like a revelation for me.

So much was my love that I got them to let me take it home and so little by little, I started to get into the collection of house and techno records of the 90’s and start mixing them when I could get a mixer and a SL-1200.

What makes an artist successful remains a secret to most. What is certain is that the road is long and hard, even more so coming from an island; a beautiful place in the world, but far from the big cities and big opportunities.

This is what makes Javier Carballo even more respectable. He has been the reference of the best underground electronic music, back in the Canary Islands and in Spain, but for some time now he has also been known far away from his country.
