DJ Chus
Chus L. Esteban, aka DJ CHUS, born and raised in Madrid, Spain (1971), started his professional career at the end of the ’80s in his hometown, amidst the full-blown euphoria of the acid-house movement at Club’ Alien’ , one of the first electronic music clubs of the famous Kapital Group in Madrid. In August of 1992, he became the resident DJ at the legendary ‘Kadoc’ Club in the Portuguese Algarve. He shared the DJ booth with the best international Electronic acts at the time, such as Carl Cox, Deep Dish, Eric Morillo, Roger Sanchez, and Masters at Work, to name but a few, witnessing the dance music explosion during the 90s from a privileged position. His style, influenced by the Portuguese and American underground sounds, definitely converged into house music inspired by Disco, Latin, and World Music.
In 1994, Chus became resident DJ of the first emblematic House Club in Madrid at Teatro Kapital, lasting ten years. He soon developed a passion for electronic music production, working with the best professionals in Madrid, such as David Penn, D-Formation, and Oscar L.
Chus created a personal vision of underground house music called the ‘Iberican Sound’ , influenced by the cultures of Spain and Portugal, and Pablo Ceballos joined him in this adventure. Pablo’s techno background gelled with Chus’s House style, which together turned the ‘Iberican Sound’ into a worldwide movement.
His Music style is a delicious blend of Organic House, warm and intense with a vital and profound Tribal essence that fuses naturally with melodic and evolving sounds, percussion rhythms, and drums. A long-haul career based on his self-taught character and his constant defense of musical quality has turned him into one of the industry’s most respected DJs. Chus’s strength lies in his charisma and the unique, pure way he chooses to engage with people.
Residencies worldwide, many awards collected throughout his career, ‘DJ of the Year, ‘ ‘Best House DJ, ‘ ‘Best Remixer, ‘ or ‘Best House Label, ‘ to name but a few. Over 25 years of music legacy on labels such as Defected, Nervous, and his Stereo Productions show his wide range of music styles and unlimited love for different genres. His blend of styles is his dogma, and the quality is his message.
In 2020, Chus founded Redolent Music and ‘Slave To The Rhythm’ , his most recent project. Redolent is a new independent record label, created alongside Spanish DJ La Santa and STTR, an events brand whose purpose is to cater to the evolving music industry and develop emerging talent.
In 2026, after a five-year hiatus that began during the pandemic, Chus & Ceballos now return with The Reunion Tour—a highly anticipated reawakening of one of electronic music’s most iconic partnerships. This next chapter is both a celebration and an evolution: a reconnection with fans, a reflection on their shared journey, and a bridge toward the future. Drawing from years of personal growth and artistic exploration, their Reunion honors a legacy that helped shape the modern sound of house music while reaffirming its relevance in today’s global scene.
The Reunion is more than a comeback—it is a statement of renewal, connection, and continuity. With their unmistakable blend of percussion, groove, and soul, Chus & Ceballos continue to represent an invaluable legacy of sound, where quality is the message, rhythm is the language, and the dance floor remains the eternal meeting point.
