About Me
Fernandes Carlos aka DJ Chich is a Portuguese DJ and producer from Luxembourg.
He was born in 1973 in Lourenco Marquez, Mozambique.
From the early age he was already fascinated with synthesized sounds an electronic music.
He had his first contact with electronic music in the mid-eighties during the new-wave movement while listening to bands like Depeche Mode, Kraftwerk, Front 242, U2 and so on.
In 1988, at the age of fifteen he got more and more interested in dj'ing and mixing and started to organise parties in the south of Luxembourg (terre rouge metropole) with his friends Ionic and flower.
Later in the early nineties Chich organised the first underground acid-house party in Luxembourg at the old butchery in Esch/Alzette. He became the pioneer of the techno movement in Luxembourg.
During 1993 and 1994 he got in contact with lots of international known dj's and started to organise parties with them in Luxembourg-City. This is where his career really began.
He invited dj's from Belgium like the famous Danny Casseau, ZZino, Marco Bailey, Tomaz, Acid Kirk and Dj Ghost. In 1995 Chich got more and more influenced by the detroit minimal-techno and started to bring this techno-style to Luxembourg.
Chich became really good friends with Danny Casseau and in 1997 Danny invited him to Belgium to produce a first record called "Argonic vs Dj Chich", that was released on the label Subsounds. Since then everything went really fast. His first record was a big hit and sold over 7000 copies all over the world. It was even released on the famous compilation "Transcore Version 6.0" with famous dj's like Surgeon, Space Dj'z, Umek and many more. Nowadays there are still people looking for this record.
His second track with Danny Casseau was on Danny’s album (Trax-x warping) that was released on Re-load, one of the most famous Techno Labels.
He was also the brain behind the "Tresor label nights" in Luxembourg, with famous resident dj's from the "Tresor-club" in Berlin, and the really "big" underground parties in Luxembourg-City with dj's from Detroit and New York such as Daemon Wild, Claude Young,...
Later on he became resident DJ and promoter of one of the most famous club in Luxembourg « Café de la gare » where he booked dj’s like Jeff Mills,DJ BONE Adam Beyer, The Advent, Luke Slater, Space DJ’z, Dave Clark,… He also was one of the resident dj’s of the club « L’ usine », one of the biggest club in the east of France.
Today, after several years of producing for numerous labels DJ Chich and his friend Danny Casseau decided that it was time to found their own label. Music has always been the main motivation in their life. Music is life, life is music. The label is a tool to express their visions of life. The musical output will not be subject to hype or fame, but gives a reflection of what it is really about, music is life, life is music.
Respect to all my friends. Save the underground music movement. Respect !
DJ Chich.
