Kike Pravda

 

SENOID (Label Boss) / PoleGroup / Semantica / MindTrip

Born in Vitoria, Spain, Kike Pravda’s interest for music arrived when he was a child. His parents worked in a music store, so he always had all kind of instruments and analogue machines nearby for experimentation.

Kike received his first residence as a DJ, particularly in the old Club Pravda of his hometown. His good work behind the mixer attracted people from other cities, thanks to his exquisite selection of music, including music imported from USA, England or Germany, converting Club Pravda in a to a well known location. Kike recognises the influence from artists such as Basic Channel, Robert Hood, Juan Atkins, The Advent and Plastikman, or labels like Sinewave, Downwards, Axis, Counter Balance, Dynamic Tension to Tresor.

Thereafter, began a growing career that has led him to perform at venues and festivals as important as :

Liquid Club MT, Terminal FR, Propaganda RU, Tresor Berlin DE, Mosaique RU, Vertice PT, Space ES, Treats Open Air NL, Underground IR, Razzmatazz ES, Santander Summer Festival ES, Fabrik ES

This has led him to share stage with world-class artists like Oscar Mulero, Ben Sims, Reeko, Exium, Jeff Mills, Dave Clarke, Regis, James Ruskin, Luke Slater, Takaaki Itoh and Surgeon, among many others.
Given his passion for music, the next step in his career was clear. Kike soon started into production.
In 2009 is when he saw one of his dreams fulfilled as a producer by being published on the Warm Up Recordings label, which released “Fear is the Enemy” that accompanied an Oscar Mulero remix.
However, 2012 is the year when Kike Pravda made the final step. First, with a new release on Warm Up, “Queen of the Damned” composed of two tracks again, with a remix by Oscar Mulero.
Later came the creation of his own label Senoid Recordings and the first references were showcased with the collaboration of Ben Sims, Oscar Mulero, Exium and P.E.A.R.L.
In 2016 was one of the 100 most charted artists in Resident Advisor.
It’s hard to find an artist who doesn’t use some of his works as producer.
One of his last tracks has been included in the last PoleGroup CD mix by Lewis Fautzi.
