About Me


Bio
I've been a DJ for nearly 10 years, in this time i've been through many different styles starting with drum and bass in Bristol, where i learned to mix and develop my skills. To this i added Hip Hop, a genre that has always been at the top of my preferences.
Life then brought me back to Portugal and Lisbon where i grew up and where my style became more ecclectic, including influences from the broken beat scene as well as reggae, dub, breaks and house.
My career steadily grew in Lisbon with performances alongside experienced veterans of the scene and with the promotion of my monthly nights promoted through my own events company, Biggerbounce. I have since been fortunate enough to DJ alongside some of my greatest influences and idols such as Carl Craig, Recloose and DJ Premier from the US, Scratch Perverts, Nitin Sawhney, Asian Dub Foundation and Bugz in the Attic from London and Jazzanova, Rainer Truby and DJ T from Germany, to name a few.
Powered by a vibrant scene i was also fortunate enough to play at some of the best venues i have ever know such as Lux Fragil in Lisbon and Pitch club in Porto, as well as countless other venues and nights which i will always hold dear. In more recent years the DJ game has also taken me to several corners of the globe with performances at Cafe Moskau in Berlin, The now expired The Cross in London and a mini tour of Scandinavia.
The last series of nights in Lisbon which i promoted where mainly house and electronica orientated with the likes of Apparat, Italoboyz, H.O.S.H and DJ T as guests which have led me to my current musical style. After several amazing years living in Portugal's capital i have migrated back to my home town of London where my musical focus is set on house music, more specifically minimal house and techno.
