SMART

Creator of Ochoymedio together with Luiliminili and Manazas, and tireless vinyl collector. His enormous versatility as a dj allows him to cover a wide range of styles. His sessions at the Ocho range from pop to electronic music, urban music and disco, without making no bones about many other styles, always attentive to the latest news and without musical prejudices. You've been able to see him at the most important festivals in Spain: FIB (countless times), Low, DCODE, Arenal Sound, Warm-Up... At the most important venues and parties in the country: Elástico (where he was a resident), Zombie (where he was also a resident), Razzmatazz, REM, La 3, Rock Nights... And in picturesque places: From the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao to the Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas, passing through the deck of a ship in The Ship Of Mates (where he opened for Franz Ferdinand) to a double-decker bus in Bilbao's Semana Grande. Wherever you see him you can be sure that you are in the right place and the party is assured.
MANAZAS 2022 scaled

HANDS

Manazas is many things: she’s also the founder of the Ochoymedio Club, a singer and lyricist for LKAN and BLA, as well as an actress, radio host, and more. She’s one of the Ochoymedio DJs who best connects with the diverse crowd that flocks to the club. Her forte isn’t flawless technique (though she long ago outgrew the phase that gave her her DJ name) but rather a spectacular selection of songs that no one knows where she manages to dig up— girls with squeaky voices in every language, fresh indie hits, all-time mainstream classics, punk, Japanese curiosities, reggaeton, electro cumbia, rap, retro rock ’n’ roll, and Spanish and international indie anthems. Manazas is perfect for any party that needs someone who doesn’t play the same stuff as everyone else, but still knows how to get the crowd going. He’s spun at: EBROVISIÓN, LOW FESTIVAL, Hotel Pikes Ibiza, Festival Amante, DCODE, La Cocina (Madrid), Razzmataz’s Pop Bar, Pink Fever at the WÜRTH Museum, Pícaro, Obbio, Fulanita de tal, B-side, and Delta 79

LUILIMINILI

Founding member of the Ochoymedio Club, Luiliminili, also known as "the walking bootleg" for the amazing precision of his mixes. He is also a member and founder of the groups L KAN and BLA. He started DJing at the Ochoymedio at the end of 2000. His style is marked by fun and lack of prejudices added to an almost perfect technique, which makes him a serious and crazy dj at the same time. With him you will dance the best of pop, rock, urban music, popular folklore, embarrassing song, heavy and technopop. He has played at festivals like FIB, LOW, BBK LIVE, ARENAL SOUND, DCODE FEST, SANSAN FESTIVAL, SONORAMA, SOS, WAM,... and in venues and places like Razzmatazz Fever, Bang Bang club (Berlin), Dirty Weekend (Brighton), D.F (Mexico), Guggenheim Museum, Hotel Pikes (Ibiza Rock Nights (Madrid), Matadero (Madrid), DeLa 3 (Valencia), Red Bull X-Fighters, Fantastic Film Festival (San Sebastian), Orgullo Madrid (2009, 2010)... and has been opening for Fangoria and Kakkmaddafakka among others.
SAY YES 2022 scaled

SAY YES DJ

With fun as a flag, it combines and mixes anthems and novelties from both the pop and rock sides, electronic sounds as well as the most popular urban hits that hit the dancefloor. His chameleonic ability to adapt to different styles and environments and his secret formula to shake every dance floor has allowed him to conquer the booths of various clubs such as Maravillas Club (where he was resident), El Sol, Hard Rock Hotel or Moby Dick in Madrid, the R.E.M room in Murcia or the Fever in Bilbao as well as festivals such as FIB, Tomavistas, Sonorama Ribera, Arenal Sound, WARM UP or Palencia Sonora among others. In January 2017 he took the stage at Ochoymedio for the first time and soon that stage became a familiar place. So familiar that in 2022, with the return of the club, Say Yes Dj officially becomes the new Ochoymedio Dj.
BITE ME 2023 scaled

CHERRY PIE

Cherry Pie has been DJing for over 10 years, building a career that combines sophistication and versatility. She has performed at numerous prestigious venues in Madrid, at festivals such as the FIB, and in cities including Ibiza, Lisbon, Berlin, and Tokyo.

CHVLO

With eclecticism as his hallmark, CHVLO is an unpredictable whirlwind who blends styles, genres, and emotions with the utmost ease. In his sets, underground music sounds like a hit, and mainstream music twists and turns until it becomes experimental. He doesn’t stick to anything, but he connects with everything: from the darkest beats to the most explosive melodies. UK garage, rock, pop, baile funk, house, Jersey, reggaeton, Eurodance… Every transition is charged with feeling, energy, and a shameless attitude that makes him a hit wherever he performs. He also produces music and collects vinyl, but that’s another story.

SMART

If you live in Madrid, SMART—the promoter behind Ochoymedio—has surely had you dancing for many nights at Ochoymedio, Elástico, or Zombie Club (where he was also a resident DJ). His immense versatility allows him to cover a wide range of styles. Sometimes he unleashes his pop side, where guitars and beats often blend into an irresistible cocktail on the dance floor—ranging from indie-pop to rock, electro, trap, rap, punk, disco, new wave, northern soul, ’50s, ’60s, and much more. At other times, he leans more toward electronic dance music, ranging from the latest trends to old-school classics. You’ve likely seen him everywhere. The list would be endless and includes European and clubs such as Karrera Club in Berlin, Dirty Weekend (Brighton), and Polar Club (Dresden). He’s DJed at major festivals like FIB, Arenal Sound, Low Festival, and DCODE; at top venues including Razzmatazz, Mond Club, Fellini, Fever, Stereo, REM, and La 3… and at incredible events in locations such as the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, the Matadero, the Las Ventas bullring, or the most unusual spots like the deck of a ship at The Ship of Mates (where he opened for Franz Ferdinand!) or the top deck of a double-decker bus during Bilbao’s Semana Grande. Wherever you see him, you can be sure you’re in the right place and the party is guaranteed.

LUILIMINILI

A founding member of the Ochoymedio Club, Luiliminili (Ochoymedio DJs)—also known as “the walking bootleg” due to the astonishing precision of his mixes (sometimes it even seems as if he brought them ready-made from home). He created the popular bootleg combining the Ramones’ “Blitzkrieg Bop” and Vampire Weekend’s “A-Punk.” He is also a member and founder of the groups L KAN (Subterfuge Records) and BLA (Elefant Records). He started DJing at Ochoymedio in late 2000 out of sheer necessity. There was no DJ like him, so they had to invent one. His style has always been characterized by fun and an open-minded approach, combined with near-perfect technique—making him a DJ who’s both serious and wild at the same time. His sets are always different. You’ll dance frantically to the best of pop, indie, rock, punk, trap, rap, folk, cringe-worthy songs, heavy metal, and technopop. He has performed at festivals such as FIB, LOW FESTIVAL, BBK LIVE, ARENAL SOUND, DCODE FEST, SANSAN FESTIVAL, SONORAMA, PALMFEST, SOS, WAM, AMANTE… and at venues such as Razzmatazz, Fever, Bang Bang Club (Berlin), Dirty Weekend (Brighton), D.F. (Mexico City), the Guggenheim Museum, Hotel Pikes (Ibiza Rock Nights), Gran Maraca Club (Mallorca), Las Ventas Bullring (Madrid), Matadero (Madrid), Delta 79 (Las Palmas de Gran Canaria), Mond Club, La 3 (Valencia), Le Club (Valencia), Red Bull X-Fighters, San Sebastián International Fantastic Film Festival, Madrid Pride (2009, 2010)… and has opened for Fangoria and Kakkmaddafakka, among others.

ZAZA

ZAZA is a DJ from Madrid with over 10 years of experience blending guitar, electronic music, and hip-hop… He started out with techno and progressive styles, DJing at events like Speka and In More mUsic, but in 2006 he started to develop a taste for Britpop, post-punk, and indie, DJing at various spots in Malasaña until he was signed in 2011 to join the OCHOYMEDIO DJ’S. Here, he combines all his technical and stylistic expertise and has become an indispensable part of the club. He frequently performs at other venues (La3, R.E.M., Bizzart, Canalla Social Club, Boom!…, Pícaro) and festivals (Ebrovisión, W.A.R.M., FIB…) both in Madrid and throughout Spain.

HANDS

Manazas is many things: she’s also the promoter and founder of the Ochoymedio Club, a singer and lyricist for LKAN (Subterfuge Records) and BLA (Elefant Records), as well as an actress, a radio host on M21, a columnist, and a woman of character… And one of the Ochoymedio DJs who best connects with the diverse crowd that flocks to the club. MANAZAS started DJing about 8 years ago. Until then, she’d only pop into the club’s DJ booth every now and then, when fans of her many talents called for her, but one day she took the bull by the horns and staged a coup in the Ocho booth, breaking the dominance of her fellow resident DJs. Manazas has brought a breath of fresh air. Her forte isn’t flawless technique (though she long ago outgrew the phase that earned her her DJ name) but rather a spectacular selection of songs that no one knows where she manages to dig up— songs sung by girls with squeaky voices in every language, fresh indie hits, punk, Japanese curiosities, Latin electro, electro-cumbia, rap, top-notch retro rock ’n’ roll, music by mainstream divas, and Spanish and international indie anthems. Manazas is perfect for any party that needs someone who doesn’t play the same stuff as everyone else but still knows how to entertain. He has DJed at: EBROVISIÓN, LOW FESTIVAL, Hotel Pikes Ibiza, Festival Amante, DCODE, La Cocina (Madrid), Razzmataz’s Pop Bar, Pink Fever at the WÜRTH Museum, Picaro, Obbio, Spiral Pop, Fulanita de tal, and B-side at La Habitación Sonora Delta 79.

SAY YES DJ

In late 2009, Say Yes DJ began doing trial-and-error DJ sets that, at the time, he only shared with his circle of friends. It wasn’t until 2012 that he decided to take it a step further and try his luck. Fate said yes—just as it was meant to be—and he ended up joining the lineup for the Sesiones Vespertinas, organized by the Pícaro club in Toledo. That step forward was what set everything in motion from there. Things really took off, and his technique began to hone itself through countless nights setting the pace for Madrid’s nightlife. In January 2017, he took the stage at Ochoymedio for the first time, and that stage soon became a familiar place. So familiar, in fact, that in 2022, with the club’s return, he officially became the new Ochoymedio DJ. With fun as his motto, he blends and mixes classics and new releases from both pop and rock, nu-disco and electronic beats, as well as all-time dancefloor staples alongside the urban tracks that really get the crowd moving. This combination has taken him across the country, where he’s conquered the DJ booths at various clubs and venues such as Maravillas Club (where he was a resident DJ for many years), El Sol, Hard Rock Hotel, and Siroco in Madrid; the R.E.M. in Murcia; Vogue in Granada; and Fever in Bilbao, among many others. His chameleon-like ability to adapt to different styles and settings, along with his secret formula for getting every dance floor moving, has allowed him to perform at festivals such as FIB, Tomavistas, Sonorama Ribera, Arenal Sound, WARM UP, and Palencia Sonora, among others.
