Born and raised in Portugal, Hi Fidel Cartel are 3 Dj's and a Mc. Although they're musical backgrounds span back to 1996 with Hardcore, Hiphop and Funk, they have come together as a collective and have been playing breakbeat inspired music since 2002.
First as a production core, they've began rocking dancefloors in their home country Portugal and flew off to London and Barcelona where they built a reputation for their skills on the decks. Apart from being one of the constant appearances in line-ups in Portugal they play several gigs across the UK and Europe bringing an unique blend of beats from across the whole spectrum of breakbeat music, mainly drum'n'bass.
Having played alongside many of the scene biggest dj's such as Roni Size, Andy C, Fabio, Grooverider, Simon Bassline Smith, Scratch Perverts, Randall, Swan-E, Craze and many more, their sets are always very dancefloor oriented with a remarcable set of tunes.
On the production side their creations go beyond the drum'n'bass scope and reach a lot of different styles as you can listen on the player, having recently been nominated by the Jazzanova team themselves for the top 10 at the remix constest for the highly acclaimed Jazzanova - I Can See feat. Ben Westbeech.
As we progress to 2009, Hi Fidel Cartel still holds nights such as the three-year and rolling "The Whole Spectrum" drum'n'bass residence at Cafe 1001 in East London which have brought a great deal of guests including UK talent such as Baron, Benny Page, Swan-E, Husley, Dope Ammo, Jay, Nev Scott, Juan Corbi, Macphearson, Tali, Youngman, Krafty, Freestyle, international talent from Europe such as Lazza, Ochan, Finger, MK Milk, Grass, Mood, Baz, System D, Divine, Pawel, Takitam FDJ and of course Portugal-brewed talent such as Nuno Forte, Yur, Gabbi Lopez, L-Jam, Unit 1, Jamie Boy, Al-X, Subway, Basic Manuvers and Benvinda.
Also, there's a brand new collaboration with Dj Slauka + Mc Kemon bringing the finest dubstep to R.E.N.E.G.A.D.E. with artists such as Dubterror, Sigha, Rootsteady, MackJigga, Subeena, James Bongg and plenty more to come! Watch this space!
