Hailing from Belgium and with Peruvian heritage, DC Salas—Diego Cortez Salas—has been active in the underground scene for well over a decade. But what makes him tick? What’s his guilty pleasure, and what does he use as a guaranteed floor-filler?
What’s the first record you ever bought?
I remember that moment pretty vividly. I used to rent CDs and download tons of music on eMule or Soulseek. Meanwhile, I was religiously saving some money to buy my first records.
I went to what became my second home afterwards: Doctor Vinyl. I was 16 years old and was 200% into a club called Dirty Dancing. They had a label, and I immediately bought their only record available in the shop. It was Markus Lange – Strange Smile EP. I’m still playing that Kaos remix a lot these days.
The first time you remember hearing electronic music?
As I was born in Belgium in 1988, I can clearly remember those late commercial New Beat tracks playing on the radio/television when I was four or five. But I guess the more conscious approach was Daft Punk – Around The World. Of course!
Your favorite ever record?
Wow, that’s a difficult one, as this changes every day!
Among the ones I own, I’d probably say Los Iracundos – Puerto Montt. It has a very special place in my heart and mind as it was my godfather’s favorite song. He left us a year ago, and I’ve just found a video of him singing this track with my dad.
The guaranteed floor-filler?
Sound Synthesis – Acidwerk. Massive acid tune. The looong breakdown always works!
Acid Synthesis – Acidwerk EP by Sound Synthesis
The best tune from last year
Taino – Muevelo (Orion Agassi Edit). HUGE edit by one of my favorite producers, Orion Agassi. I’ve been hammering this one everywhere!
Servicios Integrales De Discoteca (Edits) by Various Artists
The guilty pleasure?
I never feel guilty, but if I had to choose one, would it be One-T – The Magic Key. BANGER ALERT!
The last track of the night?
I have a thing with closing tracks, but if I had to choose one, it could be Daniel Avery – Lone Swordsman. I’ve known Dan for a long time now and could feel all the emotion he put into this tribute to Andrew Weatherall. It’s a beauty.
The best chillout record?
Boards Of Canada – Music Has The Right To Children, even if “chillout” is a bit restrictive for such a masterpiece. I discovered it when I was around 17/18 and it changed my understanding of electronic music forever. Lifechanging!
The best record for a family party?
Los Gatos – La Balsa is a classic from Argentina that my Peruvian dad loves so much. I can always visualize him dancing after only two seconds of hearing it!
The soundtrack to a lazy Sunday afternoon?
New Look—New Look. This album from 2011 is an amazing synth-pop record I never could get enough of. I don’t know much about them, but tracks like Relax Your Mind or Nap On The Bow are just pure class.
The worst record you’ve ever heard?
Who am I to judge this?!
The record you’re proudest of?
As it was the first one, I’d say my track Peru, released in 2010. This little one meant and still means a lot to me: it was released by Geert Sermon via Doctor Vinyl and was written on a plane between Lima and Brussels.
But I’m also finishing my next album, and I’m proud of it!
The future classic?
Juaan – Consecuencia!! It’s already a personal classic, so let’s see what happens!
