Co-founder of Días de Campo and the creative force behind theBasement, Whatever Charles has been shaping Spain’s underground house scene for over a decade. From clubs in Valencia to sunlit dancefloors in Montanejos, his vision has always prioritized connection, curation, and resisting the hype.
In this new NIGHTMAG Talks interview, recorded ahead of Días de Campo 2025, Whatever Charles reflects on the roots of the festival, house music as a timeless language, and the importance of staying true to your identity in a scene often obsessed with trends.
“House music requires a more refined palate,” he says, pointing to the need for patience, depth, and community over short-lived virality. The conversation also touches on the festival’s growth, what they’ve never compromised on, and how to evolve without losing what made it special.
