Aleix Vergés, aka Sideral, die last Friday at 33.
He was one of the main responsible of the electronic scene in Barcelona as a first resident at Nitsa Club. Where he played with dj’s like Lauren Garnier, Carl Cox or Jeff Mills. He also played every year at Sonar and most years at FIB and usually at Monegros.
He was the best sample of the catalan eclecticism, he used to be criticised cos he’s technical skills weren’t the best but his musical choice was always risky and successful.
I met him in several occasions cos we had a friend in common, he was shy and seemed weak, and it seemed that all the popularity he coped during the Nitsa days was too much for him. During the last year he did some non-shows due health problems. Last time I saw him playing was at La Paloma a couple of months ago. As per normal, the place was a bomb
The whole Spanish scene is in shock
Descansi en Pau
