DJ Paco’s journey began with a deep-rooted love for music, specifically for vinyl, which has remained a defining feature of his career. Unlike many DJs who transitioned quickly to digital formats, Paco stayed true to vinyl, curating a rich and diverse collection of records that has become a signature element of his performances. His early sets were shaped by an obsession with obscure records and soundtracks, which he masterfully blended with trance and other electronic genres.

Paco has been a central figure in Antwerp’s underground music scene for years, frequently performing at beloved local events like Lovegroove and Subbacultcha. His reputation as a “crate-digger”—someone who hunts down rare and hidden records—sets him apart, attracting a dedicated following of music aficionados who appreciate his unique taste and ability to surprise a crowd with rare finds. His sets often feature a blend of genres, weaving between trance, progressive, and occasionally experimental film scores or ambient pieces, which create a distinctive and immersive atmosphere.

One of the defining features of Paco’s career has been his collaborations with other notable figures in Antwerp’s nightlife. His partnership with Dana Montana, an emerging figure in the queer electronic scene, has been especially noteworthy. Together, they’ve hosted and performed at Lovegroove events, which are integral to Antwerp’s LGBTQ+ community. These events are not just about the music; they celebrate the city’s inclusive and diverse cultural fabric, bringing together people from all walks of life in an energetic and open environment  .

Paco has been a frequent contributor to Antwerp Pride, often performing at key events that are both musical and social in nature. His sets during these events reflect a deep connection with the city’s queer community, blending upbeat, celebratory tracks with more introspective, emotional moments that capture the spirit of resilience and unity. His ability to tailor his performances to the emotional tenor of these events speaks to his skill as not just a DJ, but as an artist deeply in tune with the cultural and emotional pulse of his audience.

𝙎𝙏𝙔𝙇𝙀 𝘼𝙉𝘿 𝙈𝙐𝙎𝙄𝘾𝘼𝙇 𝙄𝙉𝙁𝙇𝙐𝙀𝙉𝘾𝙀
DJ Paco’s style is rooted in his love for vinyl and his commitment to preserving the physicality of music in an age where digital formats dominate. His sets are carefully crafted journeys, not necessarily starting with slower, mood-setting tracks before building to more intense, danceable moments. Paco is known for his ability to read the crowd, seamlessly transitioning between genres to keep the energy flowing. His influences span a wide range, from progressive and trance to experimental ambient music and obscure film soundtracks, which he skillfully integrates into his performances.

𝙊𝙉𝙂𝙊𝙄𝙉𝙂 𝙇𝙀𝙂𝘼𝘾𝙔
With a career that has grown alongside Antwerp’s evolving club scene, DJ Paco remains a respected and influential figure. His commitment to vinyl and his dedication to creating unique, immersive experiences for his audiences have cemented his place in Belgium’s music history. He continues to inspire both seasoned DJs and newcomers alike, sharing his deep knowledge of music and his passion for the art of DJing through his sets and collaborations.

His legacy is one of innovation, respect for tradition, and an unyielding commitment to the power of music to bring people together. Whether performing in small, intimate venues or headlining major events, Paco’s name is synonymous with quality, creativity, and authenticity in the world of electronic music.
