Meet DC Salas, Belgian DJ and producer of Peruvian origin, whose music is an energetic journey that traverses house, acid, techno, and the nostalgic sounds of the 90s. From his residencies at the legendary club Fuse and at Kiosk Radio in Brussels, to presentations at iconic venues such as Robert Johnson (Frankfurt), Nitsa (Barcelona), Rex Club (Paris), Kaputt (Bogotá) and festivals such as Dour, Pukkelpop or Paradise City, DC Salas has established himself as a key figure in the European electronic scene.

His catalog as a producer is equally impressive, with releases on labels such as Live at Robert Johnson, Correspondant, R.A.N.D Muzik, Kill The DJ, Futureboogie and B-Pitch Control. In 2022, she celebrated her twentieth EP, “Voces,” and in 2024 she released her second album. What's coming in 2025 already promises: new EPs on Time Passages, Correspondant, Cocoon, Eya Records and Comeme, in addition to his new live show, which will premiere in February at the Magma Festival in Brussels. We had the pleasure of speaking with him about his artistic vision, his influences and his relationship with Brussels. Here is the interview:

Being a resident at Fuse, one of the most iconic clubs in Brussels, how has that influenced your way of DJing and connecting with the dance floor?

Being a resident at Fuse is, honestly, a dream. It's an iconic place with a very rich history, and it really pushes you to grow. You learn to build narratives over longer sets, to go deeper, to read the track more accurately. Playing regularly also means that you create a strong bond with the audience: you start to recognize faces, to feel that loop of energy between the booth and the floor. It has shaped me as a more intentional and versatile DJ.

Your productions encompass house, acid and more emotional sounds. How would you describe your current sonic identity?

I'm pretty bad at describing my music! Ha ha. But I would say that my sound inhabits a space where basslines have a central role, and where melodies, nostalgia and darker nuances intersect. I like the tension, the emotional depth and the grooves that make you dance but also stir something inside you.

Brussels seems to be more than your base—it's part of your artistic DNA. How does the city influence your music?

Brussels is an incredible crossroads of cultures, languages ​​and scenes. Growing up here taught me early on that mixing influences and genres is not only okay, but exciting and necessary. There's a kind of low-key weirdness about the city that I really identify with, and that definitely seeps into my productions and DJ sets.

Tell us about Kiosk Radio.

Kiosk Radio is one of Brussels' most important cultural initiatives, without a doubt. It is much more than a station: it is a community center. You go not only to DJ, but also to hang out, see friends, discover new music and artists. There is something very special about that little wooden cabin in the park: it is full of love and open-mindedness. I'm super grateful to be a part of it.

Is there a song—yours or another artist—that is never missing from your DJ bag?

What a tough question! In recent months, Decibolt – Kan’t Be K has been one of those great songs that never leaves my suitcase. Colors by Bruno, released by 22Recordings, is another one I always return to. They both have something special that always works on the track.
