We’re getting back on the interview train this month. We’re going to get things kicked off with Saymon Gomez who also has a brand-new release with us called Loco.
Saymon started his DJ career in 1992 at age 16 in Málaga, Spain, quickly establishing himself across the Costa del Sol electronic music scene through hotels, festivals, and major events. After 25 years behind the decks spinning Tech House, Techno, and Hard Techno, he expanded into production in 2017, launching mixing and mastering services and co-founding Saycog Records. His productions have landed on respected labels like Oxytech Planet and Transfiguration Recordings, earning him spots at major festivals including the Málaga Fair and OJEANDO Festival. With over three decades in electronic music, Saymon continues to evolve his sound while staying true to the power and energy that define his performances and productions.
So, with that introduction, let’s jump into the interview.
