Spanning his 20-year career, Paco Osuna, 40, has always fostered a genuine love for dance music. Throughout the â90s, the Barcelona-based techno kingpin spent time developing his craft, working in record shops and haunting Spanish nightclubs for a glimpse of what the future held. In 1999, he got his first big break, scoring a coveted residency at Amnesia Ibiza where he was able to establish his own unique electronic sound. From there, German techno legend Sven VĂ€th plucked him up and became his mentor. Since then, Osunaâs musical focus has shifted from house to techno, but his passion for electronic music has never wavered.
âThe bassline is my obsession,â he explains. âItâs the key ingredient to making picture-perfect techno and playing incredible, unflaggingly energetic DJ sets.â
