Rio de Janeiro
My first touch with electronic music was in 2001, at Rio de Janeiro, the city where I live, was the stage of the first Love Parade, an event that is based in Switzerland, so it was passion at first sight. After the event I became a fan of electronic music, attending the Raves in Rio de Janeiro, that for more than 10 years have sustained as the main electronic music events in the city. There were countless... EUPHORIA, TRIBE, KABALLA, XXXPERIENCE, until in 2012 I met the famous TEMPLE, the WARUNG BEACH CLUB, where the biggest and most renowned dj of the scene (until then Underground) perform until today. Solomun, Maceo Plex, Seth Troxler, HOSH, Hernan Cattaneo... These were just a few DJs who "took" me out of the PSY TRANCE/ PROGRESSIVE TRANCE scene and abducted me almost instantaneously to the dark side of the force , THE UNDERGROUND.
In 2013, at DEDGE, in a conversation of no more than 5 minutes with the curator of the house, Renato Ratier, I said the simple phrase: "What you do is incredible, it touches people’s feelings, you have the ability to make them happy or nostalgic with the music, that’s something almost divine!" and he replied: "Kid, You can also do that, we are not Gods, and just have good taste and study that you get there!"
I returned home with this hammering in my head throughout the flight from SP/ RJ and when arriving home the first thing I did was to look for some online course on the subject, I found several, but nothing to hold for more than 15min my attention, so I started to do my curriculum and filter what was interesting and what was not, ready, 15 days later already mastered the infamous "high, medium and low" as well as the "pitch" and sharp hearing as never before.
After that, I became a resident of the EXCLUSIVE LOUNGE nightclub where he opened the doors for me to start a career.. Let’s say professional. Thank you very much to "CEZINHA", who trusted my work and my potential, were 2 years full house every Friday and Saturday! After a family problem I moved away from the "pick ups" and the "headphone", but never leaving my passion for electronic music aside. And in 2014 I was invited to be a resident of a nightclub in Rio de Janeiro, being responsible for the Spetto in Lounge event, it was another 2 years of success , now with the schedule set from Thursday to Saturday. After that I gathered money and went to make the dream of my life, my exchange in Australia, were 7 months studying and going to the best Australian clubs (Homme, SASH, EL TOPO, CHINESE LAUNDRY, CANDY APARTAMENT) 2 dreams that came true.
When returned to Brazil in January 2016 and my military career at a thousand per hour, I had to again move away from the club residence and dedicate myself entirely to my work as Major of the Fire Department of the State of Rio de Janeiro. It was then that in 2019 I returned opening the sands of the 10 and a half Beach Club, in Recreio do Bandeirantes - RJ making it was considered by many the best WARM UP from the sands of Barra da Tijuca beach to Macumba beach.
