Biography
Delgado-López grew up in Córdoba. In 1966, his family moved to Germany ("My father had to leave Spain under Franco"),[2] where they lived in Remscheid, Wuppertal, Dortmund and Düsseldorf.
He formed D.A.F. with Görl in 1978. In 1980, he moved to London, where he lived until D.A.F. first split in 1984. He then moved to Zürich and released the solo album Mistress, which did not sell well in Germany but was top 20 in Japan,[3] then reuniting with Görl to record the 1986 D.A.F. album 1st Step to Heaven.
In 1986, he moved to Berlin to become a DJ and organise house parties. He organized (with WestBam and Marc Gubler) the first house party in Germany. With Saba Komossa, he founded the techno-house labels Delkom Club Control, BMWW and Sunday Morning Berlin.[2][3]
In 1995, he founded, with Wotan Wilke Möhring, the band DAF/DOS, who recorded the album Allein, zu zweit, mit Telefon (Alone, As A Couple, With Telephone) on Sony/Columbia, with the singles "Ich glaub' ich fick' dich später" ("I Think I'll Fuck You Later") and "Zurück nach Marzahn" ("Back to Marzahn"). In 2003, Delgado reunited again with Görl for another D.A.F. album, Fünfzehn neue D.A.F-Lieder (Fifteen New D.A.F. Songs).
His brother, Eduardo Delgado-López, is a bass player.
Delgado-López was bisexual and spoke at length about it publicly.[2]
Delgado-López died of a heart attack on 22 March 2020. Sources may vary about his death place, some say he died in a hospital in Portugal, while Deutschlandfunk say he died in his birth place of Córdoba.[4][5] He was 61.
