FABRÃCIO PEÇANHA
Born in Brazil, Fabricio Peçanha is a DJ that can make you enjoy electronic music even if you never listened to it. With amazing technique, feeling and charisma, he crowds parties, raves and festivals, leading people to dance and vibrate with his explosive music.Since 1990, he has been building his career in Brazil and in nearby countries, initially motivated by receiving his first award in a DJ championship in Rio Grande do Sul, his native state. Once he received mention in the San Francisco’s XLR8R magazine, he became associated with the most respected DJ’s in Brazil.
In 2000, he played in Buenos Aires, Argentina for Energy Parade, a festival that attracted more than 150,000 people. That same year, he oversaw the line up for the biggest event of electronic music in Latin America, the Aca World Sound Festival, in Acapulco, attended by 300,000 people.
Fabricio next began touring outside Brazil, performing in gigs in the US, Switzerland and Argentina. He also participated in events in Brazil, appearing in clubs, raves and festivals such as MegAvonts, Parada da Paz (SP), Rio Parade (RJ), Recife Beats, Skol Beats and Fulltronic.
In addition to his career as a DJ, Fabricio is expanding his producing career. The "Hypno Series†(2005) launched his first mixed “CD 001â€, which boasted national and international names and included his single "Ritalina." The CD received extensive attention in the the media and led to a promotional tour around the country, and one of his productions became converted into a popular cell ring-tone. Pecanha also permeated the fashion world, launching his own line of T-shirts.
He reached a milestone when he was ranked 242 among international DJ’s in the English magazine DJ Mag in 2005. He secured his rank by receiving 123,933 votes from voters in 150 countries and today, is one of only three Brazilians to receive recognition in the magazine.
Among his credits are playing alongside such stellar names in electronic music as Carl Cox, Danny Tenaglia, LTJ Bukem, Moby, David Morales, Little Louie Vega, Dave Seaman, John Digweed, Deep Dish and Seb Fontaine and working with such top DJs as Ritchie Hawtin (Aka Plastikman), Groove Armada, Mr. C., Layo & Bushwaka, Mauro Picotto, Green Velvet, Derrick May, Dave Clarke, Darren Emerson, Colin Dale, Dave the Drummer, Hernan Cattaneo and Circulation.
Over the last year, his career has accelerated. In Brazil, he was the opening act for the Fat Boy Slim tour during the summer and played at Mix Magazine’s party in Brazil. In July and September, he performed gigs in Barcelona, Mallorca, Ibiza, including time at the legendary after hours spot DC 10 club and at Cocoon in Frankfurt (Germany). He segued to China, becoming the first Brazilian DJ to play there, and next performed at the Music Conference of San Francisco.
Pecanha continues to wow the masses in some of best clubs and most prestigious festivals of the world, as he maintains his role as one of the greatest DJs of South America.
