Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo "Classist me?"
How did you feel about exposing yourself in a book? To say that he was a lost child who was lurching through life ... I am very proud. And I am very happy because I think people understand what I have written. And it was something that was not so clear at first: the people around you, did you know the things that you tell in the book? No. Before the book came out, I got my family together to explain what I was going to tell. They knew some things but with not much detail. And there were others that they did not know because they were blocked, I was terrified to remember them. The subject of the physical punishment of his father's wife and such ... Yes, he had not told that. They only knew that I was not happy and I was not well at that time. The same happened with the rebellious times that followed. Let's see: it was not a rebellion like becoming a criminal. It was simpler:my mother had no authority over me, I was doing poorly at school, I fought ... something that happens to many children. But it hurt and I blocked that memory for many years. And now? I had never been to the psychologist, I had always been skeptical about counting the wounds ... And what I have found is that liberating and therapeutic effect that is always talked about. Today it is no longer difficult for me to talk about that time. I know that my life is on the right track and I take those years as part of the journey. I think the most moving moment in the book is when he enters the Legion because he longs for a bit of discipline in his life ... But he annoys her just the same. It was strange: I had many soldiers around me, in my house and in the families of my friends. As I was a child who refused to accept any authority and was in trouble for that, I decided to join the Legion.The 1995 Legion was not what it is now, it was very hard: they beat you, they arrested you ... But I still ran away and went to Madrid by train. The funny thing is that over the years I have become very disciplined. And when does the anger with life go away? When I start working, I discover electronic music and I understand that this is what I want to do. I stopped studying, I left some friends who got me in trouble ... All I wanted was to be in the booth. It seems like a cliché, but music saved my life. There are moments in the book when he gets lost on the roads of town to go DJing, when they pay him with money put in bags, when he performs for dodgy people ... It is a miracle to see him here in good health. Sometimes: I can't understand why, with so many kilometers, in such bad conditions, nothing has happened to me.I was just lucky. And the other ... is that I am very
disc jockey,
but I am very little a disco fan. And that's how it has been since childhood. I was not interested in the party. I only go to discos to work. If I click at four, I arrive at 3:55. And I leave five minutes after finishing. And if, in your life there is an intimate nucleus of sadness and loneliness, why have you never made sad music, which is wonderful and there? On the last album, in which I resigned in Part to be successful, there are songs I do not know if sad but emotional, they are almost like adages. What happens is that when I act I am very positive, I can feel that "hands up." However, going out at night earlier was like going to war. I remembered when Samuel Luiz was killed, which was a very painful but rare case. 25 years ago, those things happened, they were in the landscape. The night was very violent.I remember twice playing in a disco and the place being shot down. I remember being in the booth and seeing fights of 1,500 people, half a disco against the other half. They are things that I have lived, they have not told me. Now I don't see things like that anymore. And if it happens, it seems unheard of. Did it disturb you? Yes. Or more than disturbing me, it happened to me that I didn't like it at all because it interrupted me at work. But he did not make moral judgments, he accepted it as something almost normal. And we all assumed that our way of presenting ourselves to the world was to be a bad guy. Now you think about it and it seems veryOr more than disturbing me, it happened to me that I didn't like it at all because it interrupted me at work.

. Why? There was something bad in the 'look', right? It is because of the tattoos, which are still viewed with prejudice. And I understand it in part. People, when they meet me, tell me that they imagined a rougher uncle who is not who I am, today they would have diagnosed him with ADHD, they would have given him some pills and maybe they would have taken him to a 'boutique' school. It may be that there was a part of hyperactivity, but I think mine was something more learned, something derived from the two years I spent at my father's house. The violent environment in which I grew up I saw it in my life. And that's why he hit me and got me into trouble. But, deep down, you always know if you are a good person or not. And I always knew he had a good background. And his book is full of friends. I've been working for 27 years, 27 years that have passed since the dark ages.I have kept my childhood friends and I have met very cool people who have taken care of me. I have moved a lot, I am sociable ... So, the topic of the lonely artist ... There is a moment when you normalize that loneliness. One night, you are playing at the Sambadrome in the middle of the absolute maelstrom ... You end up, they take you to the hotel and you start washing your clothes in the sink because you don't have time to wait for the laundry to open. And there are times when you realize and think "how strange is this". But I don't really see it as painful.

Sometimes I do it alone and I look for it, I like it a lot. How do you see your job after this year of confinement? I think it will be very similar to what it was. This year has been terrible. It has been for everyone but for us, especially. I hate the word "reinvent yourself" but that's what I've done, what a remedy. From now on, I think there will be more supply. People have known more schedules, they have discovered that going to a disco in the evening can be very good. And we will have some very powerful years, because we live in a state of contained happiness. What does it depend on whether a session goes well or goes bad? There are many different types of DJs, you can be a good DJ for opposite reasons. I need to be with the public, I need interaction. That's why I like long sessions, having time to get to know each other between the track and the booth,look for that magical moment of connection with patience ... Of course, that requires the conditions to be perfect: that he is rested, that he is in good spirits, that the technology is good. Is it punished a lot when that connection is not given? Not too much. Is that the next day I have to be on the move ...
