Saturn DJ, also written SaTuRn Dj, is a breakbeat DJ and producer. A civil name is not on record, and no town is confirmed. The professional references place him in Andalusia. Musical activity starts in 1995, according to his Beatport biography, and in 2000 he specialises in broken rhythms. He is not an artist of the moment: the path covers three decades, and the breakbeat starts in that year 2000. The early-century catalogue runs through the Andalusian breakbeat of the time, with nu skool breaks, break funk, break trance, progressive breaks and tech breaks.

The first stretch is tied to Reflex Musik and to the Evassion collective, also Mundo Evassion, which remains his booking. He takes part in the Andalusian breakbeat scene of those years. Among the first commercial works, Reflex releases Technology on vinyl in November 2002 and New Dimension in June 2003. The catalogue also passes through Tum Tum Pak, Zeroes & Ones, Duplate Records and Starsing Records. His professional biography speaks of more than thirty productions and remixes.

In June 2003 Reflex issues Technologicall (REF004DCD), a double album of 27 tracks, in the Southern Breakz Kreators Series. The label presented it as the first own album by an Andalusian breakbeat artist. One part is his originals: Take Me 2003, Changed, Scatter, New Dimension, Technology, Satrenie and Emotion. The other is remixes by Kultür, Jan-B, Moseh Naïm, Anuschka, Mr. Fli, Lampy, Beat Brokers, Mike Reitmayer, Sunrise and DJ Fen. Herver and Saisha contribute their own compositions, so the record is not entirely his. The launch was on 20 June 2003 at Industrial Copera, Granada, with Saturn DJ, Anuschka, Moseh Naïm, Jan-B, Kultür, DJ Bond and Álvaro Ferrer.

Recurring titles include Take Me (2001, Reflex Musik), Remember and Scatter (2004, on Beat Dis! 2005), Sweet Sensations and Flayback (2005, Beat Dis Salvation) and Din Don (2007, Breakbeat Survive), plus Love!, Party, Return to Dream and Revitalize. He also remixes Neem, by Moseh Naïm, and Up to no Good, Bellisima and I Have a Dream. The name appears on Beat Dis! 2001, Beat Dis! 2005, Beat Dis! 2007, Kick Zone 2 and Breakbeat Survive. The credit for each cut is read on the compilation, not from the album title.

As a DJ he has shared bills and booths at parties, raves and clubs across Andalusia and Extremadura with national and international producers. In 2023-2024 he takes part in the documentary Break Nation, as an interviewee and with musical and audiovisual material. After some years of lower activity, which were not a retirement, he publishes again. Go Past comes out on 12 December 2025 on Super Plastic Records: an original that recovers the breakbeat aesthetic of the 2000s with a present-day treatment. On 14 July 2026 Distorsion Records releases Technology (DataFunk Remix), a DataFunk remix of a piece from the Reflex years, and it links that catalogue to the current scene.
