d(-_-)b . pheel plays future soul (electronica, nu jazz, brazilian, downtempo), at publicity events and private parties & heavy funky house, jazzy house & deep tech at larger events.
I also co-produce an intimate, midweek lounge event, “Adults Only”.
Bio: Londoner born & bred, I studied piano and percussion (orchestra) at school. While at Uni (Architecture), inspired by jazz-funk fusion (esp. Miles Davis/ Mongo Santamaria), I also studied congas, bongos, and later, djembé.
The 1990s in the UK was buzzing with new rhythmic trends in electronica, so I made tracks with organic & electronic percussion (IDM, broken beats, deep house). On hols in 2004, in Sao Paulo, my eclectic tastes led to cameos at sunset parties, mixing jazz/ broken beat/ nu jazz (Miles, Pat Metheny, Steve Reich, Jazzanova, Bruno E, Blue Six, Positive Flow, etc.).
Since 2008, I’ve played clubs in south/southwest Brazil: Confraria das Artes, opening party at the A-list “Caras”, Café de la Musique (Florianopolis). In Sao Paulo state, I was invited to Reloaded 1 & 2, a show case for djs spinning eclectic sets, and have played at numerous clubs in and around the capital. Music: I’ve released several bootlegs of nu jazz & broken beats artists, and officially, I remixed “Letting Go” by Sierra Hurtt (independent), some funky house for Imaani Brown’s label (Brown Skin), and Faint Frequency Records invited me to remix on the Veil, Chiqago, and Mendoza Eps (2013-15).
