Mix & Interview: Cauto
This week we present Cauto, the top Catalan producer in my opinion. He currently lives in Barcelona but was born in Banyoles (north of Catalunya) in the midst of a family of musicians and you can certainly tell that from the quality of his arrangements and his amazing production skills. So far he has released tunes on DJ / Rupture's Dutty Artz, Discontinu, Dubkraft and most importantly Disboot, a seriously good local label which he runs together with Uxuca, Dr. Res and Man In The Attic. Be sure to check this label and some of their newest releases, such as the excellent remix that Cauto did of Filastine's 'Hungry Ghosts'.
As if this wasn't enough he still has time to work on his C156 project (together with The Gardener, Dr. Res and Drome), excellent collaborations with people like Das Nevez and sick parties with the Disboot gang. Introduction done, now listen to his exclusive mix and read what he has to say! Gràcies Pau!

Interview
When did you start making beats, what were your influences then?
I started when I was 16 years old with an XP80 keyboard and my dad's G4. My dad was constantly telling me off because of the bass, hehe. My main influences then were 90s Techno and Hip-Hop.
When did you first listen to dubstep and what was your reaction?
It was in 2006 when my friend (The Gardener) made me listen to a DJ set by Atomly @ The Cell (Berlin). I was flipping out with the bass and especially with Toasty's tune "Angel". After that I spent a few weeks listening to this mix again and again
Give your definition of Dubstep. Where do you see it going in the near future?
I think dubstep is a mix between a lot of different style, and therefore I think it will keep evolving and branching out.
How is the scene in Barcelona?
Getting better and better! There's a load of good artists, a growing number of people going to the nights and, most importantly, many more events where you can go and listen to these artists.
Next releases and future plans for Cauto and Disboot?
We've just got out our first vinyl releases out on Disboot, a 7" with Filastine's "Hungry Ghost" on one side and my remix on the opposite side, and another one featuring Offshore with two tunes: "Black destroyer hill" and "Simsalabim". Future plans? Work a lot on C156's live and new tunes and soon we will be releasing a 12" on Disboot. As Cauto: there are a couple of remixes about to be released, namely Belcro's "Frontera" and Brunetto's "License to Beat"; I will collaborate more with other artists - like I'm doing now with Das Nevez - and I'm gonna prepare an EP for 2010. As far as Disboot goes, it won't stop! There's many excellent releases on the way so keep an eye open!
