About Me

:: BIOGRAPHY ::

Marcelo Medeiros was born predestinatet to music. His first contact with vinyls happend when he was still a teenager, following the steps of his family who works at the local radio stations. At 1984 he begun to work at Antena 1 FM radio, cleaning and arranging the collection of radio vinyls, keeping in his own memory a musical encyclopedia.
The disco' hits had all his attention – Gloria Gaynor and Barry White were his major references, and having them in his mind, he travelled to USA to graduate in TV and Radio. At age of 16 he was already trying to mix in two pickups Mk II. At USA he also met a new and different sound that caught his attention: it was Depeche Mode, at his highest point of success at that time and still unknown in Brazil.
He enjoyed the opportunitty and all the knowledge he adquired when came back to Brazil, to work at FM's radios. The 1990's were at begginning and Marcelo saw the raise of house music meanwhile was developing his carreer as broadcadster and communicator. For some years he decided to be apart from pickups and mixing and between 1992 and 1994 he spent some time in USA working at Voice of America's radio.
When Marcelo cames back to Curitiba (PR - Brazil), he found a really good cenary to all the news he brought with him. Eletronic music was emerging as a strong movement, with DJs Leozinho and Soundman Pako conquering space step by step. Travelling through France – where he spent some time at Radio France – and London, the willing of being a DJ comes back strongly. Marcelo made some researches and came back to Brazil again with a great collection of songs and new sounds, coming back for good to the mixers.
Developing sets that travels from deep house, club house and soulfull, Marcelo Medeiros is always searching for the new songs, even though he includes in his sets many references that reminds his career as broadcaster and all he knew through his twenty years' work at radios. Those references works as great bases and inspiration. Marcelo Medeiros is a stongly name of House Music in the southern Brazil.

---------------------------------------------

Marcelo Medeiros nasceu predestinado à música. Seu primeiro contato com os vinis aconteceu quando ainda era adolescente, seguindo os passos de sua família que trabalhava com rádio. Marcelo, em 1984 começou a trabalhar na rádio Antena I FM limpando e catalogando o acervo de discos, já guardando assim uma enciclopédia musical na memória.
Chamavam sua atenção os hits da era Disco – Gloria Gaynor, Barry White - e foi com essas referências que viajou para os EUA para graduar-se em Rádio e TV. Aos 16 anos, já tentava mixar em duas pickups MkII. Foi quando conheceu um som diferente, que chamou sua atenção: era o Depeche Mode que estava no auge de seu sucesso e ainda não havia chegado ao Brasil.
Aproveitando a oportunidade e a bagagem adquirida, voltou ao Brasil para trabalhar em FMs. Começava a década de 1990 e Marcelo viu nascer aqui o house enquanto desenvolvia sua carreira como radialista e comunicador. Por alguns anos a atração pelas pickups e mixagens ficaram de lado e ele voltou aos EUA para passar um período (1992 a 1994) na rádio Voice of America.
Ao retornar a Curitiba, deparou-se com um cenário muito favorável às novidades que trazia consigo. A música eletrônica se impunha como movimento forte, com os DJs Leozinho e Soundman Pako que era o rei da pista no antigo CIRCUS, aos poucos Marcelo Medeiros foi conquistando espaço. Uma viagem para França – onde passou um período na Radio France - e Londres revitalizou a vontade de atuar como DJ. Marcelo pesquisou e voltou com um grande acervo, retornando definitivamente às mixagens.
Desenvolvendo sets que passeiam pelo deep house, soulful, Techno está sempre pesquisando as novidades e nem por isso deixa de incluir em seus sets referências de sua carreira e de tudo o que conhece devido à sua experiência de mais de 20 anos em rádio. São essas referências que lhe servem como base e inspiram ainda a projetos que conquistam pela criatividade. Marcelo Medeiros, é hoje, um dos nomes fortes da House music no Brasil.
