About Me

At only 20 years old David Souza is proving a force to be reckoned with! He has been producing for just 1 year but already his tracks are starting to cause a stir in clubland…

2007 was the year of his launch into the House music scene with More Music recognising the talent of this youngster and consequently releasing 3 of his tracks over 2 E.P’s.In September ‘07 he released his first track Ox Pump and just 3 months later saw the release of the “Broken Fingers” E.P which showed a more mature side to his production skills.Ox Pump has been getting support from djs/producers like Dave Lambert (Mostiko), Junkie XL (Artwerk), Alex Santos (Buzzin Fly/Playground), Markus Lange (Great Stuff/Craft Music/Whirlpoolsex Music), Noir (Noir Music) to name a few.Keep your ears to the floor in 2008 for new productions from this talented youngster!As dj he already played in some clubs and parties in Leiria (Alibi Disco Club, Anúbis Bar, Pharmacia Irish Bar, ESEL, II Band Over Leiria), Proença-a-Nova (city festival), Marinha Grande (Ideal Bar), S. Pedro de Moel (Oldbeach), Vieira de Leiria (Reflexus Bar, Pianus Bar, K.O Club n' Caffe) and Riba D'Ave (Chill Out).PT Bio ------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------------David Souza faz parte da mais recente geração de djs da zona de Leiria, tendo iniciado publicamente o seu percurso em 2006, quando ingressou num concurso de djs organizado pelo mítico bar leiriense Anúbis. Com apenas alguns meses de prática e muita vontade de mostrar o seu gosto pela música electrónica, conseguiu terminar num honroso segundo lugar, posição que lhe valeu algum reconhecimento e futuras actuações em diversos estabelecimentos nocturnos. Destaca-se pela versatilidade musical, percorrendo diversas vertentes do house, desde o deep house, ao comercial e a sonoridades mais electro e tech. Em Leiria, já actuou no Alibi Disco Club, Anúbis, Puzzle Bar, o extinto Pharmácia Irish Bar, na segunda edição do Band Over Leiria, ao lado dos NO DJ’s da Antena3, bem como na Semana Académica de Leiria, em 2008. Fora de Leiria, marca presença assídua no Ideal Bar (Marinha Grande), tendo já actuado também em Proença-A-Nova, na discoteca Chill Out em Riba D’Ave (Guimarães), no recente Gostas de mim? Two em Pataias, no Oldbeach em S. Pedro de Moel e no Reflexus Bar, Pianus Bar, K.O Club n’ Caffé e TR Club, na Praia da Vieira. Além das subidas às cabines, desde cedo David Souza se interessou pela produção de música electrónica. Rapidamente essa vontade tornou-se quase um vício e poucos meses depois de se iniciar na produção consegue selar contrato com a editora sul-africana More Music Records, onde já editou três temas. Das suas influências destacam-se produtores e djs de variadas vertentes, como Gregor Salto, Alex Santos, Axwell, Alix Alvarez, Jimpster, Copyright, entre outros.
