What got you into music, and what makes you keep on doing it?
Since the very first time I saw a DJ playing I was sure that music is the only option that I can see myself working with.
What fascinate me are the innumerous possibilities that electronic music allows you. It keeps me on doing it. Explore different things, everyday, learning and adding new effects, loops and so on.
There is no boundary. You are free to create art by your own.
If we'd like to trade something for an exclusive track, what should the CFYE delivery man bring to your door?
A CFYE T-shirt should be good! I’m a T-shirt lover and DJs are always looking for new and stylish stuff.
What's your favourite item to take on the road with you?
My Zoom H4 Recorder and my Pioneer EFX 1000
Something really fun about me:
I love Scarves and Toyarts. But I don’t know why after 5am my scarves insist to be tied up my head and not in my neck anymore. Don’t ask me why.
Best venue / location we should check out?
Augusta Street at downtown. I think it's the most amused and eclectic place in Sao Paulo. During the day you can explore the most famous international stores at Jardins District, meet wealthy and trend people, the best restaurants in town are there. When the night comes up the scene changes. Strip clubs, bars, nightclubs and freak people. It Girls walking around with bitches and it's all about the Sao Paulo's DNA where you can find people from everywhere and social class.
Location you should check out:
Clash Club. It's the nightclub where I’m the resident DJ. If you enjoy a good techno you MUST KNOW this place. If you really wanna rock yourself, after 8am you should go to D-edge. You just need to cross the street and on Saturdays is the best afterhour's party hosting the best international djs.

First of all, my friends. If I still had some enough space I would fill it up with drinks, a dj booth, sunglasses and some water to refresh.
Favourite city, and coolest thing about it?
New York. In my opinion, the coolest thing about NYC is the subway. Everywhere you go you find someone playing a really different and good stuff. This year I met a band over there called Acapella Soul and I was so impressed that I spent almost 1 hour at 3rd Avenue just listening to them.
What can we expect from you in the future?
News, good stuff as a producer and a new project that will join information, music, culture and art.
