entrevistas -interview a great feeling. The cultural relationships you develope with upcoming or gainfully established artists and labels is humbling. I love being a radio host. Perfect path to call and response. I feel like when i’m introducing good music, and playing it from a radio medium, it heals people that might not make it out to live events, and prefer their programming via radio. Because good music is not expected in radio often these days. So they call up the station or send emails to share their love for what they hear. Thats what it’s all about for me.

Be mindful of your programming. What you take in can play a factor in what you express outward. Doesn’t matter if you’re an artist or consumer. The Word “popular” always has a shelf life to it, so be yourself. If you’re an artist, get your publishing in order. “Learn the business of the business” cause that’s just what it is. Not the politics. You are necessary.

Más tarde tuve la oportunidad de poder ir entre semana a puertas cerradas a un Lo primero de todo agradeceros este pequeño espacio para poder contaros un poco de mí. Pues viene de muy atrás, de cuando empezaba a salir con amigos en pub y discotecas, que en cuanto llegábamos alguna de ellas, todos mis amigos iban buscando tomarse sus primeras copas, conocer gente, chicas etc...
pequeño local para ver qué era eso de los platos, los vinilos etc, así que empecé poco a poco a echar horas y horas hasta q en algunas ocasiones tuve la suerte de poder poner música con el pub abierto. Un día, un dueño de otro local que pasaba por allí a tomarse una copa me escucho y me ofreció trabajar en su local, ahí fue donde ya empecé a tomarme esto más en serio y a darme cuenta de que

Bueno, creo que una de las cosas más fuertes que tengo en mi personalidad es la constancia con todo. Para mi trabajar en la música es más que un hobby, así que cada día lucho y trabajo por ella, produciendo, dando el máximo en cada set que hago en cualquier sitio que vaya, sea pequeño o el mayor festival, siempre doy mi 100%, porque eso lo llevo dentro y es como me sale transmitirlo, y por supuesto siempre evolucionando sin perder la esencia Javi Boss. Creo que gracias a todo este esfuerzo hoy en día en España no hay ningún festival de música Remember en el que no esté.

entrevistas -interview luchador, intenta siempre dar el máximo de él, ama el deporte, le encanta comer sano, hace sus 6 comidas al día, y saca el máximo tiempo posible para estar con la familia.
Yo soy una persona muy activa, con lo cual siempre he buscado en la música, hasta cuando empecé con el dance, las ramas más contundentes y darle a mis set esa chispa por así decirlo “cañera” . Necesito adrenalina en la música, desde que empecé siempre he buscado hasta los discos que no tenían subida fuerte dársela con otras mezclas u otros medios, pero si darle siempre un toque Hard. Hasta que al paso de muchos años empecé a producir y a especializarme en música Hardcore.

Yo creo que uno tiene que luchar por lo que lleva dentro, por lo que te hace vibrar al producirlo en el estudio. Lo que sí que hay que hacer es evolucionar con la música dentro del mismo género, con el paso de los años el mismo estilo va cambiando y los productores tenemos que ir con él, pero como digo, siempre evolucionando con el género que te llena, en mi caso, intentar siempre no irme a otros estilos, yo empecé con la caña y moriré con la caña...
Yo tengo un tema que se llama Boss Vice, que con el di un gran paso en mi carrera, fue mi primer tema que los grandes djs y productores a nivel internacional pinchaban en los grandes festivales, y el que me abrió las puertas en el mercado internacional, tengo mucho cariño a ese disco.
