Paco Osuna

Beginnings in Barcelona and the Levant Scene

Francisco Osuna Pérez, globally recognized as Paco Osuna, was born on June 8, 1974, in Barcelona, Spain. His passion for electronic music was forged at the age of 14 with the explosion of Acid House. Frequent visits to the legendary Studio 54 in Barcelona and watching Raúl Orellana deeply marked his vision of music. In 1994, he moved to Valencia, the epicenter of national clubbing due to the Ruta del Bakalao. There, he had his first formal contact with the turntables and soon secured residencies at iconic venues such as ACTV, Puzzle, and Heaven, forging an impeccable technique.

The Leap to Ibiza and International Expansion

The turning point in his career came in 1999 when he secured a residency at the legendary Amnesia Ibiza nightclub. This monumental milestone allowed him to share the booth with the best on the planet and caught the attention of the master Sven Väth, who signed him to his agency Cocoon Booking, making him the first Spaniard to achieve this. From 2001 onwards, Osuna moved away from classic house to immerse himself in the forcefulness and groove of Techno, Tech House, and Minimal Techno, consolidating himself globally at events such as Awakenings, Tomorrowland, and Fabric London.

Mindshake Records and Global Consolidation

In 2006, he founded his definitive record label, Mindshake Records, establishing it as one of the most relevant Techno and Tech House platforms internationally and mentoring artists of the stature of Cuartero, Carlo Lio, and Paul Ritch. That same year, he co-created the acclaimed Club4 in Barcelona. In the global sphere, Paco Osuna was a fundamental piece of Richie Hawtin's successful ENTER. concept, and since 2015, he has permanently joined the massive Music On parties led by his friend Marco Carola.

NOW HERE Residency and Technological Legacy

Recognized for his dynamic hybrid sets, in 2016 he became a global ambassador for the innovative PLAYdifferently MODEL1 mixer. His definitive consecration arrived in the summer of 2022 when he inaugurated his weekly residency NOW HERE in the iconic Club Room at Hï Ibiza, inviting everyone to experience the music 'to the max'. In 2024, he celebrated his 50th birthday and three decades of a successful musical career in style with a massive event at ANTS. Paco Osuna continues to demonstrate his overwhelming energy in every performance, remaining one of the greatest exponents of Spanish and global electronic music.
