Juan Taberner, borned and raised in Mallorca, Spain in '85. In
the early 90's he moved together with his mother to Holland after his
parents divorced. After years of playing around with tapedecks,
keyboards and other stuff he get infected with the first electronic
house sound that came in Holland. Surprised and intrigued, Spark was
impressed with this sound.
He found his way through the music and on his 10th birthday he
started to play with decks and a mixer. His friends in his
neighbourhood gave him the nickname: Spark. After 4 years of playing
hardcore and gabba music he realized that this was not the sound that
he was looking for. He went more and more interested in expirimental
and dark sounds, he started with playing techno.
During performances, Spark's preferred musical palate consists
of three decks, CD players and EFX. Always pushing the limits and
combining dark, industrial, expirimental sounds with hard and running
beats during performances. During his performances it's typical to see
him grabbing, twisting and manipulating clusters of knobs buttons and
faders, all precisely moved, concentrated and always trying to
expiriment.
Nowadays when not on the road, he's either mining beats in his
studio or diligently searching for new materials in record shops. His
productions span the arenas of dark, industrial, filthy, broken and
running beats. With his own imprint "Mechanized Records" he wants to
present the darker site of techno.
Together with his co-producer Oliver Clothesoff he did
releases on well known labels as Systemcalls, Crowbar, Tekktribe,
Fat.Tm, Friendly Fire e.a. With their own tracks they are compilated on
different cd's.
He brought his sound in several country's like Germany, Spain,
Greece, Belgium, Austria, Malta, England, Slovakia to name a few.
