DJ, Producer & Culture agitator

NUEVO LIBRO A LA VENTA 1/9

EN EL ESTÓMAGO DE LA BESTIA

Aventuras y desventuras de un DJ
En el estomago de la bestia

Ángel Francisco López Morán (Ciudad de México, 1963) no ha tenido una vida convencional. Después de leer Así habló Zaratustra de joven, decidió que lo suyo no era la religión y se entregó de lleno a la música y al arte. Cuando se mudó a Toronto, no tardó en sumergirse en las noches hedonistas y narcóticas de sus modernas discotecas y fue perfilando su afición por la cultura de club. Una de aquellas veladas locas terminó en Nueva York, bailando en el Paradise Garage con el mítico Larry Levan a los platos. Tocó en varios grupos oscuros de influencia post-punk como Jesus and the Mutants o Fandango, que apenas han dejado registro sonoro, aunque también en Bambi, que grabó un álbum, y en On, que llegó a producir un disco con Warner Suecia apadrinado por el propio Malcolm McLaren, el mánager de los Sex Pistols. Pero fue como productor y después tras los Technics de las pistas barcelonesas bajo el alias de Professor Angel Dust donde se forjó un nombre y se consolidó como uno de los DJ más prestigiosos de los noventa, actuando en las principales cabinas de la Ciudad Condal y en algunas de las más selectas de Europa, desde donde impartió la cátedra del funk y los ritmos rotos. El éxito le llegó con su deslumbrante versión de «Oye cómo va», de Santana, que lo arrastró hasta el mainstream —del que renegó—, y brilló junto a su hermano Diego Delippo en las noches Bongo Lounge de La Paloma, a principios del nuevo siglo. Sin embargo, todo se derrumbó de golpe cuando se vio inmerso en una trama siniestra que lo llevó a pasar casi cinco años privado de libertad en algunos de los centros penitenciarios más inhóspitos de Panamá. Aun así, supo reinventarse entre rejas y reformó un viejo estudio de grabación, donde empezó a trabajar con los reclusos y a grabar música de nuevo. En el estómago de la bestia son sus memorias, que avanzan a un ritmo frenético por las luces y las sombras de una vida vivida al límite.
