Switchaudio Bio:
Born in San Juan Puerto Rico as Juan Carlos Otero,it all started back in 98 when the first raves arrives to the island & it was only drum & bass & driven by the sounds of the basslines he decides to bought his first set of turntables & influence by such artist like Brian G , Grooverider , Goldie , Aphrodite , Roni Size & Jumping Jack Frost just to name a few he went every week to the record store & look for vinyls. He spent 2 years playing in his house for his friends, when someday a friend ask him if he want to play in his birthday with some local top dj’s & he accepted. That was the beginning of a long journey that puts Switchaudio in the map of the dnb in the island making him one of the most respected dnb dj’s in the local scene. He climb to the top & starts opening & closing sets for such artist like Friction , Ed Rush & Optical , Mampi Swift etc… a year later he met Cbx from the Identity crew & they start producing tracks for such labels like I.D Recordings, Renegade Hardware, Flatline & Darkitek Music. The transition from dnb to minimal, techno happened working with two of the most succesfull bookings & event agencies in the island Hidden Agenda ( HA! ) & Forward Music ( FM! ) in charge of the hospitality with the international talents. That’s when he start to knowing & meeting people like Marco Carola, Paco Ozuna, Richie Hawtin, Loco Dice & Heidi & in 2008 he has a close encounter with the techno scene in the WMC in Miami, since then he start to get more into this cool fresh sound that many people called minimal. He starts to really get into it & with his path in the dnb scene he looks for something that he can expressed with out forgiving his roots. Spending many hours behind his computer he found a new way to expressed his music conection with out loosing his percussion influences & he found the line that he was looking for of the hands of Piatto, Cardo & Elia, Becker & D Nox,Pan Pot,D Unity & that type of techno was the reason that makes him start playing minimal techno right away. Knowing many people in the business he starts to get gigs in weekly events gaining a residency in the exclusive Bacco Lounge shortly he’s was playing in almost every major events in the island like the Puerto Rico Electronic Music Fest (PREMF). His dnb dj skills & his truly passion for techno makes this young artist one of the most likely sets to dance & watch in the island.
