BORN IN MADRID IN 1976, ÁNGEL DAVID LÓPEZ BEGAN HIS CAREER AS RADIO DJ AND PRESENTER AT THE EARLY AGE OF THIRTEEN. WITH AN INNOVATIVE PROGRAMME, SPECIALISING IN DANCE MUSIC, HE BROADCASTED HIS SESSIONS IN THE SMALL HOURS OF THE WEEKENDS ON TOP RADIO. FOLLOWING THIS FIRST EXPERIENCE, HE WORKED FOR THE BEST SPANISH RADIO STATIONS, SUCH AS LOCA FM, FLAIX FM AND MAXIMA FM.

IN 2000 HE LAUNCHED THE LABEL WEEKEND RECORDS, REMIXING ARTISTS SUCH AS TIËSTO, MARCO V, VALENTINO KANZYANI, DIRTY VEGAS, BOB SINCLAR AND ROBBIE RIVERA. MANY OF HIS LAUNCHES HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFULLY PUBLISHED ON LEADING LABELS SUCH AS DEFECTED, UNDERWATER, YOSHITOSHI AND SUBLIMINAL.

IN 2000 HE PRODUCED WHAT WOULD BE HIS FIRST INTERNATIONAL HIT ?AMMAN?, FOLLOWED BY ?PATRICIA NEVER LEAVES THE HOUSE? AND ?DISCO NIGHT?, ENTHUSIASTICALLY PLAYED BY ARTISTS SUCH AS PETE TONG, HERNAN CATTANEO AND STEVE LAWLER, WHICH LED TO HIM BEING NAMED ?MAN OF THE MOMENT?.
