Hey… I'll be late for work.

And this one?

She went up and down.

She still hasn't eaten?

No. Let's give her some food.

[cellphone ringtone]

What happened to you?

[distant thunder]

It's off!

No signal.

[stronger thunder]

Did you see this one from the Biennale?

It looks great on their window.

I like it a lot!

The sky looks terrible.

[thunder][heavy rain]

[rain][hand percussion]

Ladies and gentlemen, before we start...

yes people, with you, the apostles of music.

[footsteps on metal stairs]

Salsa, bachata, merengue, house, reggaeton and more.

This is the nightclub from Santa Clara, Cuba.

Papito.

[traffic][box on wheels dragged]

Did you see the big guy fall?

It was monstrous. Monstrous.

That guy was always on the ground.

And everyone just waiting.

"Uah, uah"...Floating in the air.

Total madman.

Always on the ground. Total madness.

But it was fun, yeah.

All the musicians played well

well, some of them.

Sure, sure and the girls too

were doing stuff with the DJ.

I don't know what he played.

Uah… so funny.

[electric razor running]

The gay guy is in trouble.

No, no, it's like...

It's like they say: "There's a man!"

What?

Purple socks.

I like them.

This stuff is horrible.

Truth is, you're a clown. You stay a clown.

A Techno clown.

You're the Techno clown.

That's what you became.

Close that thing back there.

You know what I should do?

I should.

Here you did something with a trans?

Hey! Now yes, let's go

unless you want me going out at night like a nightmare.

Nice, right?

Now you're underground, underground! Worse than the worst.

Imagine, I bought it in an adult shop. Just something.

Listen.

[music from TV]

Well, back and forth, the folks from Holguín called...

and they said: "Yes."

He's here, coming.

They say: take the bus, so take the bus.

I get on the bus.

Then I get off and take another bus.

We leave 18 hours of travel.

I didn't know if sitting like this...

or on my back...

or on my head.

No, not this one.

The thing is, the seats recline,

the one in front had his knees like this.

Back there it was freezing.

And up front: "Driver, couldn't you..."

turn down the air conditioning

"it's freezing in here."

It’s low. There were penguins behind it.

Around Camagüey we stopped,

because the bus in front of us

had crashed into a truck.

People came out of it.

No, it was where I got on the first time.

There was a truck there and the driver

started braking, but the bus lights ...didn't come on... and the bus...

Fufi.

Come here.

Stay here, easy.

Bro, what's the problem?

You're unfocused,

you need to behave better.

Because we have to go to Havana.

Have you seen Daniel's new app?

Put your finger in, and it tells your death.

They’re out of ideas.

Daniel always has crazy stuff on his phone.

It's nonsense.

How does this app work? You put your finger on the screen,

it simulates a finger scan,

It tells you your death and the year. Imagine.

Let me see if I get it.

You put your finger in. It scans your print. Theoretically.

It makes a chart and says when you'll die.

Honestly, Daniel...

How you'll die.

Daniel gets lost in nonsense.

He spends his days with this nonsense.

[pigeons cooing]

Put some food out for Susanna.

Susanna won't come out,

you have to take her.

[natural ambience]

[natural ambience][car passing close]

[floor sweeping][distant voices from window]

You don't help me at all?

Not even a little? Something, if you stop that.

A hand with something.

How many pairs do you use?

Not one, two pairs of slippers.

You think I'll spend the day picking them up?

Help me with something. Do you hear me?

Fine.

Eh. One day I'll disappear and stop doing things.

You're always arguing, dear.

Man, no fights. Just help me a bit.

Always with your music, all day,

I need your help.

You think it's nonsense?

No, I'm the one who's nonsense.

Yes, it's so hot.

[barber spray bottle][city voices]

Not even the fan? No?

You can’t? I don’t know.

This one here, too.

We're all sweating.

Yes, it's driving me crazy.

[footsteps][city voices]

Ah. Feels like being in France already.

When's your friend arriving?

I don’t know. He’s over there.

We wait. He’s coming from Havana.

Damn. We have to wait for him.

Rain stopped.

Don't know if I went, I don't remember.

Some music… what do you say?

I remember that…

Look when it starts, now we'll record it.

Come on, move or we'll miss it.

No… stop.

We'll record it. This one's good.

Yes, but let's go record it. Where do we record?

Eh… audio, I don't know…

Move, move.

[distorted club music][crowd rising]

Good evening, everyone, radio program of electronic music on air.,

every Thursday from 11:20 to 12:20 on

93.3 FM, Radio Taino, in the prog…

[clearing throat]

Good evening, everyone, welcome to.

‘La Cura de la Semana’ section, not section program.

Good evening, and welcome to ‘La Cura de la Semana’

radio program of electronic music on air.

Thanks to Radio Taino and to the program Cuba Tonight.

Today is edition 245,

about the national hits of ‘La Cura de la Semana’.

We'll play music by Ryan,

and many DJs and producers.

From Havana and beyond.

So stay tuned, and if you can, boost the signal.

[natural ambience]

Good morning, sir.

We stay? Go? Wait?

Damn. Shall we go eat?

You're eating eggs?

Sure.

Egg salad with olive oil?

A thick oil in the bottle… hah.

Eh!

Turn that stuff off. I can’t hear anything.

At the Biennale, they asked me…

to play with a box of eggs.

This is the artist, the one who goes:

"You must play with a box of eggs."

What are the basics…What are the conceptual bases of…

12 Havana Biennials,

Twelve plus twelve… how many?

Tell me how many? 24.

Look, count: one, two, three… there, 24 eggs.

12 Havana Biennials plus 12 eggs. Same thing.

It's a work for 24 Havana Biennials.

24 Havana Biennials.

Look how I'm talking to you.

And what I'm telling you… hah.

[hand clap]

He rented a room from a colleague.

He was working with us.

Bro, we had finished the party.

Leaving the venue after wrapping up.

We thought it was a drunk lying there.

I get closer, look... it’s him. Yes, him.

It was him lying on the ground, in front of the club door.

And when I told my colleague:

Isn’t he the guy at your place?

"Of course!"

He had just thrown up on the ground.

And messed his pants.

And the hat...

when we stopped him.

Ryan says: "Oh".

"What a nice mess."

He kept the hat by his pants.

We put the hat back on his head.

We dragged him away.

And put him in a car.

And the car driver…

Great story for dinner time.

Good evening, brother. Good evening. Can you tell me where nearby…

a downhill street near the university…

going downhill.

I think it's called Nestone, something like that.

Nestone? No.

The one by the university is San Lázaro.

You don't know the one next to it?

Could it be Neptuno? It could be Neptuno.

Maybe Neptuno. Okay, can you take me to the university…

Neptuno… two blocks ahead?

Okay, if it’s just you, it’s 5 CUC.

No, brother. Not 5. It's not that far.

We’re in Vedado, man. A cab can be 5 CUC.

Ok. Can't you do less? Like 3 pesos, 4 pesos?

Okay, 3 pesos is fine.

Okay, then let's go.

[natural ambience][old car door]

[car door closing]

Do we still wait?

Just waiting for one.

Will it take long?

5 minutes.

Interesting… before dying,

the victim had taken a strong mixture

similar to the drug known as Venom.

It alters bone and muscle structure,

boosting physical strength for a limited time.

It seems the mixture reduces

mental capacity in several ways

and damages memory centers in the brain.

Prolonged use could

damage them irreversibly.

He’s the team investigator.

[silence]

[dogs barking persistently]

Some controllers are good.

Yeah, I saw those pics. I don't like those controllers.

I’ve got a Denon 6000 and a Numark. Total junk, forget it.

The dream… it has to be Traktor, right? Yeah!

It works with Traktor, Virtual DJ, Serato. I don't like this one.

[natural ambience][tractor engine]

[silence]

Why English if I don’t get it?

"Greetings, I'have… I don't know what, blah blah…"

I still need to go connect to the internet.

Translate all this on Google.

Oh my God.

Tell me how to get to Twenty-third Street.

Up there.

[natural ambience]

Man, you're behaving badly.

We still have to go to Havana, and I don’t get it.

Something similar happened to me.

I went through something like you did, with a girl.

Don't make me tell it.

Focus. Do you hear me now?

You need to focus.

In Havana you were ridiculous,

you behaved badly, you know?

Look at you now, down there.

Come out of there, man. Aren’t you a French bulldog?

You've got glamour and style.

When will you wake up?

Stop it, man.

You know we have to go.

I need you to focus.

It can't happen again, because if we lose this chance, you’ll never get a girl.

She’s the only French bulldog I’ve seen in all of Havana, okay?

Man, it's always the same story.

Hurry up, they’re waiting for me in the studio! Yeah, 5 minutes, man.

Come on, go gently. You're angry.

Easy now, breathe gently.

We're not in a rush. Where are we going today?

To a club?

Shall we go to a club?

To hear a good DJ?

You don’t want to? Not in the mood? Wanna eat? Honestly, you’re annoying.

Very annoying.

You look like a girl I know.

I’ve never played reggaeton or salsa.

Well, salsa yes.

I’ve never played reggaeton nor…

I’ve never played…

Heavy metal, yes?

Okay. Neither reggaeton nor rock.

[natural ambience][beatbox]

Emili-i-i-i-i-to, come down.

Emilitooo!

Seems they're calling.

Come here.

Tell me!

[dog barking]

Let's go.

[distant traffic and city ambience]

[broom on floor]

See? You yell all day and you just woke the baby.

Alright, I'll calm him, and you finish cleaning, okay?

Fine. I can't stand seeing you always there with your music.

Okay, okay, I'll clean. You can go.

[distant traffic][through window]

Arguing, arguing all day...

It's too much.

[ambience][music from headphones]

And this little pink umbrella?

Well, we have this umbrella.

Terrible.

But what matters is that it protects from the sun.

Protects what, man?

And it's pink it has a magical aura.

It's an amulet against… against…

Against negativity.

So hot.

[nature ambience][wind]

You bought it. Where did you find it?

I found it my sister gave it to me…

Never look a gift horse in the mouth.

And this pink color...

it has a protective aura.

In the end though…

Lean out and see if you see anyone.

Hah… I look out just for fun.

My dream is to work with my two Pioneer CDJs maybe 900 Nexus, 2000.

A four-channel mixer, a good one with effects.

Yes, that's my dream.

The classic Pioneer, the HDJ-1000. Those are for me.

Work, work, work… make money to buy them.

With that, I'm happy.

No turntables, no controllers, no Traktor, just this:

two USBs, or my CD binder, because I'm a fanatic

about playing with my CDs. My binder, my discs there.

You like it this way? Yes, yes…

For me, these are the real machines: Pioneer, Numark, Denon, Rane.

All garbage. You buy them and they break

then you end up buying Pioneer anyway.

Forget the rest.

Everything else is trash.

Pioneer, Pioneer, Pioneer, Pioneer.

I've been calling you for three hours and can't reach you.

The 27th of this month? Sure, sure, sure.

I think he tricked us…

The phlegm… but…

My throat feels like I can’t smoke, and it won’t go away. No idea why.

I'm taking pills. Taking pills and smoking and all that.

I don't know why. No.

[house fan][cat purring]

[nature ambience][traffic]

[traffic][motorbike]

Listen man, I know you're my friend. Help me, please.

Don't do your business on me. Help me, please.

[nature ambience][bird wings flapping]

So many birds on the roof.

[nature ambience][pigeons]

Seems they've calmed down.

The three neighbors who play music...

all three playing “Bailando.”

You could hear the reverb of “Bailando”. All “Bailando.”

Damn.

Forget it, I got used to living here.

I'm happy here.

But the neighbors at first… I didn’t get them.

I was the only different one in this building.

This is a building of

families, older people… here.

Street. Go down the street…

Go down the street.

What?

Go straight.

Go straight. Straight? Down the street.

Straight, straight this one?

Yes, go straight.

I want it right, but you won’t.

As you want. Give me your hand.

The other one…

And your job? Turn!

Don’t they say anything at work?

Work? Mine is independent.

Still you're working with the public.

Alright. When he sees it… I don’t want tattoos here.

Crazy, crazy. Drives me nuts.

I have a tattoo on my chest…

Put a dove here on the side?

Can do.

Here you are, already ready. I need to fix this.

When do we go to Remedios? Try treating me badly…lightly.

Watch me show up. Ahi ahi ahi.

[tattoo machine]

Close it well.

[tattoo machine][traffic]

Light. Let me focus mentally. Wait a moment.

Maria.

[tattoo machine][traffic]

[natural ambience][motorbike passing]

Let’s see if this fixes it.

Full power.

He was telling me that.

Original or Chinese?

Original, but…

In the end you broke it.

Too expensive to repair it. I preferred doing it myself.

I tried the same way.

And you destroyed it.

Same thing happened to mine.

The software is fully synced with Traktor.

Same brand made to work together.

This is the virtual version, and this is the physical one.

It’s like a controller.

It automatically controls all functions I assigned

to work with the software.

[city noise and passing bicitaxi]

[city noise and stick hitting the ground]

[old car engine from inside]

Nationwide, we’ll play everything: DJs and producers from all over.

Besides that, we’ll mix music from the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s...

classic and pioneering tracks that influenced electronic music.

[natural ambience][birds chirping]

That's where it is.

Ah, this one sounds…

Sounds good.

[metal fan scraping]

You can hear a low frequency.

[mouth sound]

[city noise and metallic workshop sounds]

For example, what we do live

is turn samples into beats.

Oh, I get it. I set it to 8, to 2, to 10, to 1.

Exactly.

This one never fits with infinity. You need to look for 20 or 18.

[natural ambience][footsteps]

Let it go, let it go.

[ambience][old car starting again]

[house silence][distant voices through window]

What kind of old man are you?

You're retarded.

And you?

You're retarded.

Like… 4, 5 years old.

No, 4 or 5 years would be 45, right?

You're 50, right?

Being 45 doesn’t mean you have to be like that.

I’ve matured.

Matured? No, you went from immaturity straight to rot.

You went beyond.

Remember when I was 27 or 30?

I’m not the same anymore. I’m more serious, more…

More responsible.

Yes, more serious, hair cut, more gray, but you’re the same.

Now I’m more responsible!

Ah, responsible like being 27, 28, but…

27, 28? Well, then you're 15 years late crazy.

A 15 year delay.

Now you're about 30. Better for me.

Incredible.

This is serious stuff.

[house silence]

The problem is, you confuse me. Is it wave?

And what are you doing, man?

Right now I'm watching a tutorial on…

What's it called?

Melbourne Bounce. What’s this? You know this style?

The one where, when the theme changes, they go: ‘Euh, euh… uu’.

It sounds like that

and you don’t get it.

This style.

This style here…

The track I played you by Major Lazer.

You hear they go…

That style when it changes.

[music from computer, rising]

[city noise and passing motorbike]

What I love about working with DJs:

you invite one or two and more show up.

It’s something creative. Their followers too.

Yeah, people follow DJs...

they’re learning too.

They also need an audience to try things, to…

It’s not the same as when you’re at home

mixing, as when you’re in front of people

you don’t know.

You practice a bit more.

But I like when they come and say:

“I’ve got music on my USB. Drop a track.” “I like when a jam.

[electronic sounds from console]

[urban ambience][people’s voices]

So I plug it in there?

Sure, man.

[wood creaking]

Whoever was in that place on my...

on my side, my corner,

and witnessed that moment...

If a director had filmed that scene,

that would have been Resident Evil part four.

I swear.

The people… you should have seen their faces.

Faces with red eyes and this desperation.

I didn’t get it.

The money it took to get into this packed place at that moment

everyone was…

dancing.

But they couldn’t.

And that made the exasperation

grow.

And suddenly,

you were there and couldn’t do anything.

It was actually pretty fun.

And anyone who tried to go out right then was killed alive

people were turning into zombies,

into zombies.

[distorted music from doll][plastic moving]

Look, start with the whisky.

Add that one, Jameson, add Red Label, add Chivas Regal.

Hey, hey, hey go all in.

This girl shows up, one of those you don’t want around all night.

She asks for a track. I say no, I’m in my set, but she insists

and when I say yes

she gets happy and starts hugging me,

but the cable gets caught between the mixer faders,

and when I pull away, it rips.

Saint here is Joyvan, the DJ. The DJ, how are you?

Is everything ready for Saturday?

Ah, okay, but call me anyway to confirm Saturday.

Saturday is at…

the same place just bring the gear there.

Here at home but let me know, please, when everything’s set, okay?

Come on. Good.

Yeah. Eh!

Tell me… eh.

Just… eh!

It was in Cienfuegos when I saw one.

It’s been a while since the last time I saw a cocuyo.

You don’t see them in the city.

Little sailor cocuyo.

I used to catch them and put them in a bottle...

Five, six or seven cocuyos and give them some sugar.

They said they ate sugar.

I don’t know if they ate it, but in the end they all died. Sure. Of course.

Tiny little thing.

It’s like a cockroach when I was a kid I’d grab them with my hand, but…

Like that one in Cienfuegos.. A cockroach with lights.

What does the cocuyo eat?..yes.

The first special bond with music was at my house.

On the balcony where I live, on the second floor.

It really was…

I was playing music for my friends.

We were just listening to some music,

and it was

an incredible day.

A double cassette player and at one point

I switch tracks fast, and people go: ‘What happened, Ryan? What happened?

It was something special, because I really felt I wanted to do this.

I want to be this to be a DJ. I want to make people dance.

And I also want the music...

I want them to feel it like I feel it.

The moment I play music at home, people hear

it outside, on the street.

Feel the same thing I’m listening to.

Mixing these tracks together.

It was incredible, because the guys said: "What are you doing?"

"No, nothing."

I switched...

I switched one track for another

from one cassette to the other.

It was incredible, because the reaction

and the connection with that action...

the reaction of my three friends...

was incredible.
