Fernando Martinez live @ Sala Upload, Barcelona 31/03/2013

Dj Fern Live @ Anzu, Kaballah festival 22/3/2009

Music was always a passion for Fernando, a Sao Paulo native that initially had his first taste of turntables in San Francisco, California while studying in his early 20's and suddenly knew it would be a long and happy story. Coming back home in 2005 he started to Dj with frequency in the underground, mainstream clubs and events of the country. In his sets he presents diverse sounds rooted from house to techno, electro and minimal, Detroit, Chicago, Berlin and UK. 
With this broad range of sets he found space in many different events such as a guest in the Cocoon arena for the Kaballah Festival em Sao Paulo, besides clubs in Italy, Spain, Japan, Brasil, Portugal, Germany and the UK. His first residency as Dj was in the pioneer after hours from Sao Paulo, Insomnia, still holding the artistic name Dj Fern, soon he started to play in clubs and parties such as D-Edge, Sunday Away, Clash, Deputamadre, Anzu among many.
Soon it became clear that a move to Europe was obvious so the city of choice was Barcelona and Berlin, where Fernando became a regular in different clubs and participated in many different music projects. 
Residing now in Lisbon, Fernando helped  co-founding of Amor Records, a new store in the heart of the city that in it’s few years of existence brought a new air to the already rising scene in Portugal, and keeps participating in radio shows in different radios, playing in parties and promoting music across the globe.
In his years as a DJ he visited very different scenarios of electronic music including the most demanding ones, always participating in different projects like LaRadio in Barcelona where he created his show called B-Sides and also resided as one of the dj’s for the electronic music programs. In Lisbon he managed Collect radio show for the early stages of the project where he interviewed many of the guests and had his own show called Alicerce and besides playing at Lisb-on Jardim Sonoro he was also the the reporter for the festival where he interviewed many of the international guests and also played in the great Waking Life festival where together with the Amor Records crew they held the Cochilo stage for a total of 16 hours of non stop music, so we definitely can expect a multiple identity as far as projects and sounds throughout this journey.
