About

José Padilla Maria Requena, known professionally as Nacho Padilla, was a Spanish DJ born in Barcelona on December 4, 1955. He served as resident DJ at Ibiza's Café del Mar from 1991 until his death on October 18, 2020. Padilla began releasing electronic music under the Nacho Padilla moniker in 2025, marking a departure from his established ambient and chillout productions.

Nacho Padilla's electronic releases span minimal/deep tech, raw techno, and breakbeat territories across Innocent Music and Xelima Records. His sound explores hypnotic techno patterns and UK bass influences, representing a significant evolution from his earlier ambient work. The project launched with releases in January 2025 and continued through December 2025, establishing five releases that demonstrate his transition into harder electronic music genres. DJs seeking deep, minimal techno with breakbeat elements will find his catalog on these specialized underground labels.
