8: Progressing to reach my dream

1996 was closer to be ended.

Weeks went by, and I felt me very happy with my first residance in MOES.

Every week I took a lot of flyers and I handed out at different stores, friends and anywhere where my name could be seen.

We split the MOES sessions in to three times. Because Johnny was more commercial, Gabi was a little bit more hard, and I was the harder from them.

I remember that the environment on stage wasn't with a very good atmosphere. I was the new and I started to be a part from the crew without they have known or they have shown their point of view about it. And I suppose they would felt a little attacked to be inside “their field”.

I remember that between them made jokes when I was playing. Because I was stronger than they were. I still recalling in my mind the pic of them clapping their hands and shouting at me:

- Came on!!! Let it rip!!

They tried to be above of me with that comment, because they associated the "soft music" with music of more quality.

It is clear that the soft music is not synonymous of a better quality. But their words further to bother me, made me to feed my rage and searching be better.

They still on their world kidding with girls, and playing this soft and commercial music with this air of superiority.

I was gaining fame with every session I carried out. Even I remember people over 16 years who wanted to be in my sessions. And I began to heard a rumor about the disco was changing, with a little bit stronger style, and with this tipe of music such as that you could hear at any night famous club of that moment

I have always been a guy very refugee in my same, and rather timid, which only wanted to to do his sessions and go home. My sole intention was to work hard with my mixes and give the best of me. With the greatest perfection that could be possible, and to be liked by the maximum number of people as possible.

I spent from anonymity to be known. People on streets greeted me shouting me:

- Hey!! This is the MOES DJ!!

Everything was going great. I was three months as resident DJ, I was wining popularity. I was very happy working at my first club, that made ​​me feel like a "professional" DJ, and to be different from all the DJ's whith which I use to improvise some mixes at home.

But one fateful day had come, when everything began to change in St.Feliu…

The city council from Sant Feliu, decided to end with a lot of the festivities were enjoyed by thousands of young people every weekend

Next to Moes were a nightclub named "Maui" on their night sessions they always got to fill the capacity of their club. And even had rumored that they would open with afternoon sessions and they wanted to get me to me as their resident DJ

But the city council would destroy that illusion, demolishing the club and turning it into an adult care facility .. ironic doesn't it?

Shortly thereafter, the clubs from this town began to close slowly ... and logically Moes was one of them

This would break all my schemes, my hopes, and my strength

Weeks that went after the end, I felt empty, I wanted to continue progressing in my path to glory.

I was spending my time looking at magazines, trying to meet people and other Dj in the area to exchange views.

"Dj, looking for a job at a nightclub, or other dj's to exchange views, and to record some sessions."

Without thinking twice, I called that boy, who was from Satn Boi de Llobregat

I met him for a drink and meet us, he was a little older than me, and called himself "Reche Bit".

I forged a nice friendship with him and got awaken in me other musical aspects that were totally unaware in myself.

At his home, besides having the vynils, with his computer produced their first demos with a program called "Fast Tracker". Obviously my concern and ignorance on this subject made ​​me intrigued

We got together once a week to play at his home, and dream together about our first songs and some day edit a vinyl. (Something that looked very distant)

He told me that the "Youth Centre from Sant Boi", had a radio station that covered the whole town, and part of Baix Llobregat, and we could go to talk with the manager to do a radio program.

After discussing for a several time, and prepare a project to show, we went this centre and see their facilities.

This center is characteristic, and every time I step ahead, nowadays, wakes me feel an enormous nostalgia feeling

From the outside, you could see some different coloured balconies, an entrance way to a games room, and that's where we met to "Susana"

I'm not going to deny that Susana was a very pretty girl, with a dark hair, and very friendly.

We show her our project, and we explain our ideas,

and that afternoon, they said that had some free hours and we could do a test and start with the radio program in her station.

Just one week before starting the program, Reche told me that would be impossible to continue to play and do the program because of his job. That news distressed me because we had created a nice relationship.

Anyway I was interested to go ahead with our radio project and continue producing, so I asked him for the Fast Tracker to do myself my productions,  and I decided to start the radio program.

The program was called "The techno time"

Today, I do not know exactly why I named it like that. Because Techno is a style that would not play

Maybe  for my poor culture at that time, I thought it would be more serious calling it Techno

I started my radio career alone, a program that was emitted every Monday and Wednesday.

On Mondays I did my radio program alone, and on Wednesday I invited some DJ's from my area to do some sessions on streaming.

Even sometimes I got some free hours that center gave me, and I could do my first party with several DJ's at the station.

Thanks to them, I got to know a lot of people, and have really funny moments ...

People that nowadays I still seeing, people which I don't want to forget to name as:

Sánchez, Frank Tralla, Barbero, Paco, Isra, Isa, and many more…

Also, why not to say...

I had some casual affaires, inviting girls to see the radio station, letting them to speak by the microphone, and dedicating some songs ... LOL hahahaha

After the close of Moes, my weekends were empty, but at least that program made ​​me feel alive, and I could still doing so many things for music.

I did that program entirely by love of art, what it means that ... I did it without receiving money in exchange ...

Which angered to my family, and they told me comments like:

-And this is what you want to do?  To work for free all your life?

Obviously my vision went beyond them, and I answered them explaining:

-Now I do not receive money for my work, but what I'm doing today can help tomorrow to let the people know me, and then at that time... the money will come.

Again, my only source of income was the tapes that I recorded to the people. And also I could survive with a little help that my mother occasionally gave me. Well, my family was a very humble and honored family.

Sometimes my head kept thinking about ideas about comments that some people had made ​​me. Thinking that maybe it was true and I was crazy, or maybe I was hasty in my decision to become a professional DJ ...

But when I stood before the music mixer, on the radio, or someone who made ​​me some praise for my sessions, a force inside of me pushed me to keep fighting to reach my dream.

A dream that I would not miss it for the world
