Organized by Vicious Magazine and held annually in Madrid, Vicious Music Awards\u2019 mission is to boost electronic music to the same cultural standing as other artistic disciplines such as cinema, art or theatre and create a larger Hispanic community within the industry, providing a platform for international recognition. <\/p>\n
Among 2018\u2019s nominees are two much loved local DJs \u2013 Junior D\u2019Acosta in the funk, soul, disco category and M.E.M.O. in deep house and live performance. <\/p>\n
DJ, composer, producer and pianist, Junior is a key reference in the Spanish electronic scene with an endearing personality and performance quality that is second to none. He\u2019s composed songs that have gone gold, has been headhunted to compose songs by big names such as Kiko Matamoros and world-famous guitar player Raimundo Amador and he has performed in some of Spain\u2019s biggest and best nightclubs such as Privilege and Bora Bora (both in Ibiza). <\/p>\n
We\u2019re lucky enough to have Junior as resident DJ in two of the Coast\u2019s hottest spots: La Sala (Puerto Ban\u00fas) and Nikki Beach. <\/p>\n
A turntable king, expert at scratching, confessed vinyl addict, but also highly experienced techno deejay, M.E.M.O is the Costa del Sol\u2019s answer to the Chemical Brother\u2019s meets Carl Cox. He has shared a line-up with the likes of David Guetta, Orbital, The Prodigy and Jeff Mills and performed in world renowned clubs and festivals from Creamfields UK to Space in Ibiza.
\nM.E.M.O has released records with labels such as 4line, Tip Tap, Lust and Amoeba. His EP \u201cRaices\u201d (Indigo Raw), includes a track that was charted and that formed part of the Carl Cox compilation “Revolution”. \u201cTai Tai\u201d, his latest EP, is a massive hit and fans are begging for more. <\/p>\n
And this year, M.E.M.O has made it to the final at the Vicious Awards for best deep house and live performance DJ. We\u2019re rooting for him and hope he brings the award home to M\u00e1laga. All will be revealed on May 8th! <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
