DJ Perales was chosen out of 100 demos send in by talented DJs to perform at one of the biggest annual festivals in The Netherlands, EXTREMA'S DANCE FESTIVAL (the 4th edition). According to him it was the coolest place he performed at so far. Because of his energetic set he was invited to play at another event Extrema frequently organises; the Extrema parties at the old Bonbonnière Theatre in Maastricht. A beautifully decorated location with massive sounds and a great laser show were the ingredients that uplifted the sets of DJ Perales, world renowned top DJ/Producer Sander Kleinenberg and Dutch guy DJ Funky.
DJ Perales spins a variety of different styles of house music. In his opinion a DJ should be able to spin whatever the audience wants to here at that time. So if you would look into his record bags you will find Progressive, Tribal House, Energetic Trance but also Booming Techno. He wants to see everyone smiling and moving their feet on the dance floor when he plays his set. His preference in tracks could be described as tracks with a special drive in it.
At this moment DJ Perales is busy with obtaining his own studio and next to that he is working at the world famous record company Media Records for which he just finished the first edition of a new mix compilation that will be released shortly. His first 12 will be released in the near future as well. At the moment DJ Perales is resident DJ for a Rotterdam based organisation that organises the famous monthly Dance Again parties among other concepts at Off-Corso and @ Nu-Flow in Spijkenisse. Next to these residencies DJ Perales can be heard at various events throughout Holland.
