Line-up
David Penn (Urbana, Defected)
Soul Avengerz
Damien Stone
David Penn is one of Spain’s best and best-known DJ/producers, and an international name in his own right. He’s had worldwide house hits, including the massive ‘The Night Train’ under the name Kadoc in the mid-90s; scooped a string of awards for his DJing, production and Urbana label; and is part of the New Iberican League with DJ Chus and Abel Ramos.
‘The Night Train’ by Kadoc in the mid-90s that really blew up for him. “I was really surprised at the success of ‘Night Train’, at that time we only wanted to be on a few compilations,” he chuckles. “That was our dream, and when we released the track in Spain it was in August – a really bad month to release something.”
But all the vinyl copies in Spain quickly sold out as the track spread across Europe like wildfire. Soon it had reached No.1 in Holland and No.12 in the UK and suddenly he was doing the iconic TV show Top Of The Pops and touring all over Europe.
‘The Night Train’ ended up shifting 2 million units, and Kadoc tried to follow it up with something different - but without the same success.
“The whole thing was a real surprise and I learned a lot during this time,” David recalls. “I learned a lot about business. It was a special time, and useful to learn about labels and the business side of the industry.
David is very particular about what he releases on Urbana, and says that he only releases tracks on it that are absolutely special. “I don’t have the label as a business, it’s not a big label – I just want to keep the quality high,” he says.
The attention to detail with Urbana has paid off, earning the label the Best Breakthrough Label at the UK’s House Music Awards a few years ago and scooping the Best Label prize at Spanish magazine Deejay’s awards. David has also won Best House DJ five years in a row, and a number of his collaborations have also been recognised by DJ magazine.
