About

The World without Music! Maybe, but it wouldn't be the same!

The taste, the feel, the emotion, the thrill of music was always present from a very early age. I remember buying the first cassette recorder and recording songs from Top da RTP 1 (Portuguese TV). I recorded music a little bit everywhere, Radio, TV, friends, always looking for music. The first vinyl I bought, around 10 years old, was the LP "À Flor da Pele" by UHF, that great classic of Portuguese Rock (Rua do Carmo, Geraldine), although the cassette continued to be the easiest way to get music.

In the 1980s, a Pirate Radio appears in Zambujeira do Mar, where I live – a paradise by the sea in the Alentejo Coast. I was about 12, 13 years old. Radio Praia (great radio, I miss it) opened doors in the world of music. It was on Radio Praia that I started presenting some music programs. Music and lots of music, technical knowledge, audio production, mixing tables, until Clube da Praia as a DJ in 1989 (Thank you Luís Martins for trusting a 16-year-old kid). I grew up at Clube da Praia (currently closed), where I stayed until I was 20, and where we returned punctually, the last one in 2014. Then Castro Verde, 1993, “Santa Loucura”, after  “S-Club” (currently closed); I inaugurated that space as a DJ. I confess, with humility, that I laid good foundations for what became the future of the S-Club project, my contribution, my “effort” to introduce more dance music on the dance floor. I've been in Castro for 2 years.

Meanwhile, a new invitation arose: destination Monte da Vinha, Almograve, 1995! Another 2 years with opening in this house, an excellent space, if not one of the best in the District of Beja (currently closed). In addition to the aforementioned residences, I played a little around the area south of Portugal: Mercearia da Música, Lx Café, Espera-m`entrando, Peixinho da Horta (Zambujeira do Mar); SW, Touch (Bubbles), Turco, H&S Lounge, Manjedoura (Vila Nova de Milfontes); Bar o Cais (Odemira); Substância, Bar Nº. 6 (Sines), parties, weddings, etc! Presentation done, and leaving aside the reform, we put our Music at your disposal for agenda on Planet Earth!
