Raul Navarrete, a.k.a. Dee Jay Kul, began as D.J. ten years ago, in summer '1989, always influenced by the tendencies of the black music. He started to obtain their own style thanks to the pleasure and the good advice of a great teacher , JB Dee Jay, from the missing disco:Rio.Dee Jay Kul has worked in some of the best clubs in Seville like Bu-bus, Cathedral, Bestiario, etc. always combining a selection of Funky and R&B,Soul classic Electro, Hip Hop, Acid Jazz and more recently Drum'n'Bass. In 1991 he bought his first synthesizer and began to elaborate tracks being based on his many years of listenings and work ...until 1997, year in which he has gotten a much more purified sound thanks to the computer.
