From Austin to L.A., keeping up with the beloved Pangea Sound producer DJ Joaqu.n.
On a warm April night, baby-faced Joaquin Fernando Chaffardet Rosas wears a cut-off T-shirt. The son of a formerly high-ranking Venezuelan political dissident and university-educated mother, he's due to DJ at Coconut Club later that evening. Better known as the Austin-launched DJ/producer Joaqu.n, the 30-year-old is a secret weapon at the Downtown club.
November 2019 was the end of his last"real job," he said. Laid off, he saw music as his only hope for earning cash then. Few things are as motivating, he explained, linking to a prolific philosophy seen in his years as the requisite Austin host for an artful and in-vogue good time. A few hours later, on the night of April Fools', a packed rooftop sang along in a kind of karaoke trance as the asylee played hip-hop, R&B, reggaeton, Afrobeats, and amapiano. Behind him, a gaggle of men and women filled the booth. He invited them in and looked at home, having only recently relocated to Los Angeles part time after years of visiting monthly from Austin.– Joaqu.
The residency launched back in 2017 at the Eastern, a now-shuttered space behind Cisco's Restaurant on the corner of Sixth Street and Comal. With the help of the then-nascent When Where What Austin social media account, backed by founder Chris Cates, Joaqu.n hosted and performed. The ringleader also welcomed another DJ each week – making up for when he didn't often feel welcomed in the city early on, aside from invitations to join Peligrosa's King Louie at the Volstead.
