What was your first experience with electronic music like?
My father owned a club with 5 floors, one of them used to feature electronic music, like house, drum & bass, techno, so it was there that I had my first contact with that sort of music. I’ve started out by playing Brazilian folk music, I was only 14 years old, and I was the DJ of one of those floors, which played that style. I used to play every weekend for around 7, 8 hours, and sometimes I’d ask somebody to take over so I could go to the toilet, but instead I would go down to the underground floor because I was really into it.
What has been your favorite experience as a DJ so far?
This summer I played at Space Ibiza for Carl Cox’s night ‘Revolution.’ It was a dream which finally came true so this was probably my favorite experience to play on an event for a DJ which I’ve always looked up to.
What’s coming up soon that you’re excited about?
I have some remixes coming up that I really enjoyed working on, for DJ Tonio on Suara and the classic Psycho X-Girlfriend on Yoshiotshi, and I am looking forward my next EP on Terminal M with a track a little bit different from what I am used to do, it is more melodic and progressive, it is called Redemption.
I think my music is right at the cusp where tech house becomes more techno, it’s dark yet groovy.
What can listeners look forward to hearing on your mix?
I’ve tried to create a journey and to tell a story with this mix, it starts deep and melodic, and it gets more and more energetic until the end. I’ve included some of my highlight tracks of this year, and also some artists that I am really into at the moment, I hope you enjoy and have a good time listening to it.
This is definitely one you won’t want to miss!
