A Brazilian Drum & Bass legend, he has played the globe: from WMC (USA), SUNANDBASS (Sardinia), Exit (Serbia), Glastonbury and Womad (UK), Skolbeats (Brazil), Montreux Jazz Festival (Switzerland), to Sonar Festival (Spain).

A resident at many a legendary Drum & Bass club night, he’s never been pigeon-holed by his great love for the genre and continues to make noise from WOMAD to Worldwide Festiv
