Born into Capeverdean cultural roots, Aristides came into contact with a lot of artists and music from his native Cape Verde from a young age. His mother was especially of great musical importance to him, as she also fed him with an endless supply of seventies music and disco. It suffices to say he was exposed to a wide variety of musical styles from his early childhood onwards.

In his teen years he would often come to the Netherlands to visit his relatives. This is where he got in touch with house music, a genre completely unknown to most Cape Verdeans at the time.

After settling himself permanently in the Netherlands, he took the opportunity to delve into the house scene and further immerse himself in music.
By digging through records, he was able to further pinpoint his genres: Deep House, Tech House and Dub Techno. Through all of this, his interest in presenting music grew.

Both as a DJ and as a producer he aims at delivering melancholic, but warm and loving music with good bass, bouncy high hats, sometimes with a spacey and sexual undercurrent.

‘I'd feel silenced, if I wasn’t able to speak through the sound I create and communicate the emotion of my ego through the music I play. It’s how I express myself! Sound frequency is my way of exuding warmth and give one energy. In my own ideology, always in search of a symbiosis with one in front of I.’
