+Saro
If you’re into the most underground techno, you’ve probably already heard of DJ SARO. Cristian Saronellas, originating from Barcelona’s illegal rave party scene, is one of the founders of Adiktos al Tekno, one of the most recognized collectives in Catalonia and nationwide. Their aim was to spread the various versions and variants of the most underground techno with British influences, eventually earning him the title of “the wizard of the rave.” Alongside his collective, Adiktos al Tekno, DJ Saro made a big impact on the underground techno scene across the peninsula starting in 2006 and remains a strong reference to this day. His main influences come from British hard techno, and he has shared the stage with countless artists such as Chris Liberator and Dave The Drummer, among others. His outstanding music selection, sharp transitions, and seamless mixes will leave no one indifferent on the dance floor.
