Biography

Denis de Galdo Troyano was born in Madrid, Spain, on 28 March 1983. Cruz started DJing as a hobby at the age of 17. One of his greatest influences has been Oscar Mulero, as he used to attend his sets in the capital, as well as Michael Jackson. He studied sound engineering and began his career in music working in recording studios with artists from different genres such as hip hop and rock bands. Cruz has received support from leading names in the electronic music community and has appeared in DJ Mag’s Top Tech House Artists. He was also named Best Artist at the Vicious Music Awards in Spain.
Cruz is one half of the group GOLFOS with British producer PAWSA, which they launched in the early 2020s. Under this alias, the duo performs back-to-back sets that blend minimal tech-house with jazzy samples and funk influences. The name Golfos is Spanish slang for “troublemakers” or “party animals," reflecting the playful and underground nature of the project. Golfos have played at major festivals such as:
  • Kappa Futur Festival
  • Circoloco NYC
  • GreenWorld Festival
In 2024, he released Bonito under PAWSA's label Solid Grooves.
