DK's BIO:
Portugal's underground scene and dark groovy house sound is renowned throughout the world with artists like Vibe, Fauvrelle, Maurel, Mastiksoul, Rui da Silva leading the pack and exposing the country to the most passionate clubbers. Like these fellows, DRUMKODE has his own vision on the house scene and whoever has listened to his sets surely has asked him/herself who the hell is this guy? Unlike other artists he was not influenced from the beggining to listen to whatever genre, he had to find his way through music and that gave him a wider vision on it and on what it makes u feel. Everything is influential if it has quality, no matter if its metal, reggae, rock, hip hop, punk, R&B, world music or electronic... As long as it has groove and makes u feel, just feel... it is good music. And although all these mixed styles influence his sound, when he plays be ready to take on a journey through house/tech-house/techno. The darkness and the soul refreshing rhythm on his sets are definitely "non-missing" marked. DRUMKODE has also released tracks on Boston's prominent label Slanted Black and on UK's Drum Central Recordings... while working with some of the best upcoming talents like Mike Kings and Hugo Rizzo. 2008 promises to be a great year for DK as his remix of Animal, original from Dextro of Redkone is already putting the dancefloors to shame with an old-school feel that you just don't get anymore, out in early 08 through Drum Central Recordings. Also in 08, a double track ep featuring 2 experimental tracks are scheduled for release on Dark Lion Records from Argentina, "Black Lights" is out on Mastiksoul's label Hoshi Recordings and another slow groove tribal monster called "Airwalker" on Boston's Coraza Recordings, that has already gotten the attention of some well respected dj's such as Oscar G and Ralph Falcon of MURK. Next in line will be a remix for Mike Viera's new vocal groover "From The Sky". Last but not least DK has his own radioshow called "84 King Street" at TRIBALMIXES.ORG RADIO, where industry giants like Richie Santana, Boris, Peter Bailey, Carlos Fauvrelle, Frank Maurel, Rob Mirage and Redkone, have featured.
