About Me

John Player Special (JPS) -
JPS is a curious dj, always open to a new tune and in permanent search of the lost tracks that can twist your soul. His sets are built over a breakbeat substrate where urban music influences, with particular attention to the funk and hip-hop scenes, are blended in irresistible and tasteful fashion.
With no fear and respecting no borders, JPS takes us along a hip-shaking road, bringing to the dancefloor the latest releases from some of the most interesting independent labels from around the globe, and groovy classics long forgotten in the vinyl vaults of the 20th century.
Mixing the beats, evolving scratchs and loops with ease, is sets are anything than obvious, and are extremely danceable exercises with great technical and musical consistency.
Recommended in high doses and at loud volumes
JPS:
Com uma base de breakbeat, os seus sets cruzam influências da música
urbana actual, onde o funk e o hip-hop assumem uma expressão mais
significativa. Sem receios ou fronteiras, percorre caminhos pouco
trilhados, recorrendo a uma selecção discográfica diversificada e de
valor histórico, alternando as últimas novidades de algumas das mais
inovadoras editoras de música independente, com clássicos muitas vezes
esquecidos. Misturando os beats com mestria, que envolve com scratchs e loops, os seus sets fogem do óbvio, e são exercícios altamente dançáveis de grande consistência técnica e musical. Aconselhável em doses maciças e a bom volume.
