IFI first got in touch with the club scene and turntables around 1992, when his
brother owned a nightclub. But it was in 1996 that he got immersed in electronic
music, specially techno, when he heard the scene pioneers Mau Mau, Renato Lopes
and George ACTV spinning.
For more than 10 years, this multi artist has been absorbing a multitude of
information that constantly takes his sound on a roller coaster. He is also one
of the people responsible for kick-starting the club scene in the world-famous
beach Balneario Camboriu.
He first started spinning in 1998, mixing minimal techno and hard techno records.
It was during this time that he formed the collective E.Beats with local DJs,
fortifying the "Berliner" characteristics (as in underground ideas) in his own
set.
In 2003 he, along with his collective, achieved recognition, becoming resident
DJ at the "UK" room of Balneario's Ibiza Club, one of the underground... This
also opened path for him to become resident at the ElectroDiscoPunk night at the
Ayia Napa, Ibiza's sister club, when he incarnated his alter-ego DJ Gigolo - a
persona that fueled the electro scene in the region in 2004.
Passionate about music, he has shared turntables with several world famous DJs,
such as Tiësto, Christian Varela, Miss Kittin, Terence Fixmer, Miss Yetti,
Princess Superstar, Alexandre Tecnique, Larry Tee, Mount Sims, John "00"
Fleming, Mau Mau, Renato Lopes, Gil Bárbara, Renato Ratier, NoPorn, (Liana
Padilha e Luca Lauri), Pil Marques, Spiceee, Mental Giu e Renato Cohen.
Today, IFI is constantly updating his vast knowledge, producing classic and
complex sets, mixing minimal beats (click, micro, tech..) and techno from the
roots, all this allied to his great charisma on the dance floor.
