Story
...
'I was mostly a rock type, going to shows weekly, buying demo tapes, fanzines and everything linked to the music community. This began my vinyl craze.
From this background I started making mix-tapes and obsessing about concepts like flow, and already near the turn of the century came the ever growing electronic side of things, first from synth pop, ambient and electro until finally admitting (not easily) I actually enjoyed house and techno - mostly on the DIY, primitive and raw side of it which I compare with rock aesthetics.
I had a radio show during college to showcase various types of independent music, and later on created Guerrilha Club with friends which gave voice to a lot of underground DJs in Portugal and helped me DJ in various clubs and bars and also get noticed on some blogs.
2007
I moved to London with a suitcase and my laptop and have been lucky enough to hear my tracks getting some play time in clubs, and to DJ every once in a while - and at the same time spending insane amounts of time in record stores, live shows and clubs.

Ever thought you'd hear such a thing as lo-fi trance? Well, maybe you did, but you probably didn't anticipate it would delve out a sexy swing from the most head-over-hips of genres.
