Coyu

Coyu (Iván Ramos Salinas, was born on August 13, 1985, in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain) is a DJ, music producer, activist and Spanish businessman. Since 2008, he has directed his own record label, Suara, which today is also a clothing brand and non-profit organization for the reception and care of stray cats.

First Influences

He began to interact with electronic music at the beginning of the 21st century while studying Political Science at the University. During that time he worked as a music journalist in several publications specialized in dance sounds, as a party promoter, public relations, artist agent, radio host and even as a runner. He always liked musical genres from the 90s, such as trip hop, drill and bass, house or techno, opting mainly for the latest one over the years.

Music

After 11 years of its first publication, on September 23, 2019, he releases his first studio album. Titled “You Don’t Know,” it was released on his own label: Suara. It includes collaborations with artists such as Moby, The Horrorist, Thomas Gandey, The Black 80s and Lazarusman, among some others.

Suara

In 2007 he founded his first record label, Atypical Farm. A few months later he created Suara, sub-stamp of the first. Atypical Farm stopped publishing in 2012 after fifteen references.

During this time Coyu has had two other labels, My Cup Of Tea and Feline.

Animal Activism

He is well known for his animal activism. Vegan for years, the nickname of The Big Cat comes from his love for cats. In 2011, together with his partner -she is a veterinarian- they create Suara Foundation, an organization whose main mission is to assist and care the street cats and offer them better-living conditions.
