DJ Limao

About Me

.. .. .... ....
DDDJJJJingsince his childhood in Brazil, where he was born, Fabio Terranova, dubbed DJ Limão, became a fixture in both the British and Brazilian dj scenes.
Nowadays, he is based in London with his case filled with new brazilian stuffs and own productions, mixing old-school sambas with modern beats or giving a brazilian flavour to worldwide music.
An eternal researcher, with elevated technical skill, he keeps the dance-floor in a state of constant evolution, introducing assorted rhythms in an amazingly regular tempo. While he develops his set, expect the most eclectic things. From batucadas and every other brazilian stuffs, to soul, funk, rock and house. Or anything else you never heard before. Or even that unexpected tune you haven't heard from ages.
WHERE?
Since in London, has played in many diferent places as Guanabara, Favela Chic , Ministry of Sound, Barrio North, Shoreditch House, Embassy club, Cargo, EGG, FIRE, Scala London, Sambatralia parties, Babble bar, The Long Acre bar, Lock 17, Zoo bar, El cuban, Dingwalls, Temple Yacht club, Arizona, Arch1, Barrio North, Bristol Brazilian Beatz and many more.
Either opening the main brazilian shows in town (as Gilberto Gil, Marcelo D2, Los Hermanos, Pato FU, Seu Jorge, Daniela Mercury, Monobloco, Tribo de Jah) or lining up for many summer festivals (as BBC's FavelaFeva - with DJ Marky and Gilles Peterson, Antiworld 777, Troca Brahma - with Gilles again, Southbank To Dentro festival, Bossa Nova fest), he absolutely doesn't stop.
