DJJC
Space Entertainment Resident DJ
Jose Cotes (DJJC), born October 15, 1974 in Barranquilla, Colombia, is one of the world's top cross-over DJs. In 1992, Jose moved to Boston, MA, USA, to study English and pursue a career as a computer engineer and graduated from Boston University in 1996. While studying English, he met Javier Duque, a well known Colombian DJ and producer. Javier showed him the art of mixing and introduced him to different genres of music.
Jose started making mix tapes for friends, and one of those tapes landed in the hands of a couple of promoters that had just started a new night in an iconic, now defunct, Boston club called M-80. In 1995, Jose became the new resident of M-80's front room, and stayed there until the club closed in 2000. "If M-80 was in New York or Los Angeles, it would have been as big as Studio 54?. It had so much mystique. Wherever I go to play, people mention M-80, some of them were not even born and they refer to it like a legend."
After M-80 closed, Jose worked in some of Boston?s best known clubs until he landed residencies at Venu, and now Rumor on Thursdays and Saturdays. During all these years, he has toured on many occasions to different countries all over Central and Latin America, and has appeared as a guest DJ in countless events and clubs in the Boston circuit. Jose has also been known by his many remixes and productions. In 2006 he released his first Trance song called I Know Pain (Sorry). A video followed it, and was played by different DJs around the world. He then surprised his fan base with a Spanish ballad called Perfume, where he featured a Mexican singer called Ana Laura. In 2007, he uncovered his first all-original, officially released: Roller coaster, a mix of sounds that stay true to its name and take the listener into different states of mind and genres of music.
Jose is also the host of a weekly Spanish podcast called The Cave. The Cave has been running since 1998, when the word podcast did not even exist, and is arguably the most popular show of its kind in the iTunes network. "In The Cave we talk about everything current: music, sex, trends, news, relationships, etc. We have listeners from around the world that share their stories, and we try to be serious, with a bit of humor and sarcasm. We have had interviews with famous people as well, and have done some crazy things during the years."
