The Sage of BetxĂ and Guardian of the Grooves
DJ Mysterian, that headphone-wearing enigma who sets the floor on fire strictly on vinyl, is the soul of the decks at Sant Antoni Pop Festival. His selections are pure fuel: an incendiary blend of primitive 60s garage, psychedelia, surf rock, rhythm & blues, and rockabilly kicks to keep everyone moving.
Who is this character?
Co-founder of this glorious madness called the Sant Antoni Pop Festival and high priest of the DJ booth, Mysterian is a true local institution. The youngest of four brothers in an illustrious record-collecting family, his ears were trained early on the vinyl treasures at home: while others played marbles, he already understood that the truth of rock 'n' roll lay buried in the B-sides of 7-inch singles. So vast is his musical knowledge that none other than Dr. Explosion dubbed him «The Sage of BetxĂ».
The Legend of Masset del Tio Pepe
The mystery, of course, is part of the myth. Nobody knows his real face, but his reputation forged over the turntables in Little Detroit (BetxĂ) defies all local boundaries: a whisper that has led him to preach the gospel of the beat across, wait for it, at least three different municipal districts! Undisputed resident DJ of the legendary clandestine parties at 'el masset del tio Pepe', Mysterian is a conqueror of dancefloors, a globe-trotter, and a genuine international enigma whose identity remains Little Detroit's best-kept secret.
