Hello followers and listeners of ELBEREC, Behold our annual anniversary Compilation!
All of a sudden, here we are celebrating our first year rocking around the block and supplying you with 100% Portuguese quality dancefloor commotion!

This was surely an odd year for all and everyone, but among these unpredictable times we still were able to keep our resilience on track and most importantly the lingering flames of releasing, playing and creating music, burning very deep inside. Indeed also a year to reflect how is so essential to share and converge our emotions into dance and communal liberation through the art of Music, and to keep the will of expression alive, even more in times of adversity.

The following collection of eighteen tracks displays the very present times of Portuguese under-underground electronic currents, which restlessly move our little-shaped country community with sterling quality and stimulating diversity. A vast amount of talent - and a far-from-obvious harvest - some of it debuting now on the label, to be dug by those who aren't so familiar with Portugal's scene, curated with decentralized eye and hear.
Roaming from high-driven Techno, peaktime banging intensity, to colder and hypnotic scenery, to wonky grooves, high-bpm infused House or space-rambling Electro, this volume aims to deliver the furious dancing these hard times are requiring and to set a proud mark on our first year of activity.
Play f*****g loud and get down to it!

Tryängle - Why Not

DJ pitts achieved his passion for electronic music at the age of 14 when he begun to listen the radio show of one of the best respected and well known dj’s in the world – DJ Vibe – which inspired and lead him to start approaching the art of djing in 2010. He discovered a serious passion for “underground” dance music and trying to show his friends his passion and his musical culture he managed himself to play in the most renowned clubs of his hometown (NB Club, Ice Club), played two consecutive years on Soundwaves Festival (2012,-2013) sharing booths with great featured names on the electronic music scene. A year after (2011), maintaining his desire to share what he plays he created his own podcast series on mixcloud releasing every month a new dj set with his picks. His mixes started to get some impact on social media. The consequence was the first invitation to record an exclusive mix to the best electronic music radio in Madeira (Portugal) – Antena 3 Madeira – and since then he have the privilege to regularly broadcast his mixes on the radio at the “Unleash the Groove Radioshow”. Throughout the years he continued to play in parties mostly on his hometown. Going a level up, in february 2017 DJ pitts founded his own independent music label “898 records” where he releases some of his and other artists music. 2018 brought good news to him. In january he got two tracks signed on “Digital Waves” Miss Sheilas label. With his single "Make It Happen" supported by Richie Hawtin and Chris Liebing all around the world having more than 350,000 overall streams, DJ pitts is an artist in constant development and always on the run to mark his position in the electronic music scene.
