Berlin: My favorite whore!
Berlin’s international identity as the birthplace of techno has invited a slew of DJs to uproot themselves and find a home in our electronic Hauptstadt. With over 200 clubs strewn throughout the city, getting behind the booth at one of Berlin’s famed haunts is dream for many that rarely comes true. In walks Spaniard Hugo Capablanca—in lightening speed (we’re talking no more than two years) he was spinning at some of the city’s iconic clubs with countless residencies and a loyal following.
Mixing alongside taste-makers including Justice, Headman, Klaxons, WhoMadeWho and countless others, Capablanca came to Berlin in search of an “open minded, sexy, experimental metropolis.” He certainly found what he was looking for, establishing a dynamic relationship with the city: “This city fuels my persona and I fuel the city.”
Capablanca’s label, Discos Capablanca, fuses Chicago house, psychedelic sounds, tropicalia, disco and whatever else inspires the DJ. Listen to the sounds of Capablanca’s scratching as he expounds on his favorite spots around the city.
