Christian Montoya, a Chilean-born and Spain-based DJ and producer, is a global ambassador of house music in all its flavours, blending deep, afro and organic house with his unique Latin-ethnic beats. His career skyrocketed after his iconic performance at the Loveparade in Santiago de Chile in 2005, paving the way for an international trajectory that spans across Canada, Germany, Portugal, Norway, Finland, France, Belgium, Italy, and Croatia. With notable performances in Spain’s electronic hubs like Barcelona, Madrid, and the ever-magical Ibiza, Montoya has cemented himself as a tastemaker in the global house music scene.

Montoya’s alter ego, DJ_MONTT, perfectly suits the refined atmospheres of restaurants and terraces, with a focus on lounge music. From 2017 to 2019, Montoya curated playlists and delivered mesmerizing sets for Matiz Restaurant at the prestigious Hotel Molina Larios in Málaga, creating sophisticated musical experiences that enhanced the venue’s ambiance. His versatility shines as he effortlessly switches between deep house for the dance floor and elegant lounge sounds for more intimate settings.

Today, Montoya continues to bring his sophisticated lounge sound to restaurants along the Costa del Sol, including venues like La Cúpula Lounge in Benalmádena, El Rincón Asturiano in Arroyo de la Miel, and El Alabardero in Marbella. His weekly residency at Barracuda Rooftop in Torremolinos has become a key hotspot for sophisticated electronic music enthusiasts, further solidifying his presence in this refined genre.

In 2011, Montoya released The Power of the Moon on Chile’s DNW Records, gaining support from world-class artists like Namito and Tube & Berger. His music connects deeply with energies that permeate the dance floor, leading to major appearances such as the OHM Festival in Croatia, where he shared the stage with the likes of The Martinez Brothers, Steve Lawler, and Nicole Moudaber.

Montoya’s deep connection to Ibiza runs through his project Eivissa Fresh Flavours (EFF®), a digital ecosystem he co-founded alongside Manuel Frias and Doctor Leuman. EFF® blends the authentic sounds of Ibiza with fresh, international house music influences, regularly bringing that Ibiza magic to new audiences through their releases and events. Montoya also directs and hosts the EFF® Weekly Radio Show, broadcast live every Wednesday on BeachGroove Radio. The show features exclusive unreleased tracks and occasionally invites artists from the EFF® label.

2024 marks a new chapter as Montoya embarks on his first-ever Asia Tour, supported by Latin Flash and expanding his global reach even further. This follows recent standout releases like “AMMINNA,” “The Flames,” and “The Waves.”

Looking ahead to February 2025, after launching his track “Dancing with Dolphins,” he will travel directly to Thailand to perform at stunning venues, including iconic rooftops, beach clubs, and clubs like Carpediem, Tulum Sky Bar and ACES club in Bangkok.

On the release side, 2026 has already seen the launch of **”Magic Trip (Levada dos Tornos)(EFF016)”** , a deeply personal track inspired by his first solo hike through Madeira’s mystical levadas, featuring the voices of Sandra d’Oria and Carlos Sá. This follows the success of **”Once Upon a Time”** , released on Eivissa Fresh Flavours (EFF015).

Madeira continues to be a source of inspiration for Montoya, where he remains active with events like **Pure Sunset Vibes** and the monthly **SARAVÁ Experience** at SAI DE BAIXO in Gaula PORTO NOVO, Madeira Island.

He continues to deliver house tracks that ignite dance floors and lounge spaces alike.

Christian Montoya is a visionary in the house music landscape—whether in the heart of Ibiza’s club scene or curating tranquil vibes for upscale dining. His passion, global experience, and dedication to creating unique musical moments make him an artist who transcends boundaries, uniting people through the universal language of music.

Montoya starts the summer of 2026 with two confirmed residencies on the Costa del Sol: back at **Barracuda Rooftop in Torremolinos** and at the **Boutique Hotel Well and Come in Málaga capital**, bringing his signature healing frequencies and organic afro latin house sound to both venues.

Looking ahead, Montoya is already preparing his return to Asia, with a confirmed tour in **Bangkok for February 2027**. New music and more surprises are on the way. Stay tuned.
