Live From Hackney with ThermoBee, James Kinetec & Chicago Loop (Nov 2017)

Seb aka Briza bio:

He was one of the youngest DJs in the underground techno scene in London, but Briza was instantly a force to be reckoned with behind the decks. In just over two years he went from mixing in his bedroom back home in Campinas, Brazil, to DJing at some of London's biggest free parties and club nights in the UK capital.

For those who witness his technical skills on the turntables, it's no surprise to learn Briza has been playing music for most of his life. Luckily, his mother had the foresight to recognize her son's musical talent when he was just 6 years old and she sent him off to study the flute, keyboards and then the guitar. 

At 15 he started listening to electronic music and the seeds of Briza's future techno-addiction were firmly planted, his friend Alan was the one to influence him into the House and Techno world when he moved to Campinas/SP. By the time he was 17 he had a pair of belt drive turntables where he learned the basics of mixing on his way to being hooked for life.

In May 2003 at the age of 18, Briza moved to London to study English but his life was destined to take another course. After only two weeks in the city, a friend took him to his first free party and he's been heavily involved in the underground techno scene ever since. 

By 2004 he was playing at free parties every weekend with London's biggest sound systems including Every1Sound, FUQ, GoodFellas, Headfuk, Malfaiteurs, Manik, Restless Natives and Tribe of Munt. It wasn't long before he landed himself a weekly residency with the renowned Nrgized crew, where he played at George IV every Thursday night, along with resident DJs Animatek, Chris Liberator, Clodagh, Gas and Ludgero aka LUUD.

Briza became well known on the local clubbing circuit featured at some of London's most renowned clubs including The Mass, The Fridge, SEOne, Turnmills, Alhambra Club, Dance Music Studios, The Jax, The Telegraph, Dukes, Studio 333, Hidden and more. 

He played alongside London's best underground DJs and producers including Aaron Liberator, Dave the Drummer, Jerome Hill, Julian Liberator, Mario Conte, Mikelangelo, Pattrix, Olivier FX, Rackkit, Sterling Moss, Syber Symon, Thermobee, and he's even shared the stage with renowned Brazilian DJs and producers such as Lukas, Rafael Araújo, Renato Bastos, SPURI, Wender A. and many more.

In 2005, Briza returned to Brazil to show what he had learned abroad. His first gig was in Campo Grande/MS and then Campinas/SP, where he played a 3 hour set at Kraft's opening night with Dj Murphy. 

The crowd was so impressed by Briza's original style and contagious energy, that Briza became a permanent fixture at Kraft's techno nights along with local and international DJs Eto, Gab, Invoke DUO, Lukas, Mara Bruiser, Rob-ts and Silvio-Soul, Martin Hare, Charles Siegling (Technasia) and Dave the Drummer. 

He has also featured at some of Sao Paulo's most highly acclaimed club nights and underground parties including Techcardia 4th Birthday with Dave the Drummer, Mahatma and OBI, "Love Express" at Lov.e, Jaka Solta, Techno4m8 with Jeff Amadeus and Patrol with Frajola,, and Vector Commander Live PA a.k.a. Alex Strunz.

Hi all and thanks for looking! I'm just a fan of dance music really and I like most kinds, but especially Acid Techno. I left the army in 1991 and got into the club scene of Muenster, Gelsenkirchen, Dusseldorf and Dortmund. Many fantastic times, (from what I can remember!) Awesome clubs like the old 'Keller' in Muenster, in aan old abandoned warehouse complex of some kind. Absolutely amazing parties in there before 'elf and safety' closed it down for not having a fire escape! Ratinger Hof and then after hours in Ramrod, both in Dusseldorf. One of my old favourites, the fantastic 'Groove Club' in Gelsenkirchen. Important Recrds held a release party there and I'll never forget this sweet little thing dancing with me in a kind of Star Trek mini dress, or t-shirt....! But I digress, simply amazing times I had. Tried clubbing when I returned to the UK, but I found the scene not half as friendly as in Germany, and also a lot more posers I felt. More emphasis on what you should wear and who to be seen with than just having a good time and dancing your fucking ass off!! I'm not on Facebook , Twitter or any other social networking sites except this one and Forces Reunited. Please feel free to get in touch any time with any thoughts you might have or simply to say "Hi". Would love it if any of you also remember those days back in old Nord Rhein Westfalen.especially if you're that fit bird from Groove Cub, I know, we BOTH got old!!! Cheers, and remember......."Hardcore Will NEVER Die"!!! Schoene Gruesse an alle die mich kenne und an alle die mich kennen lernen moechte!
