🌐  Founder of @houseofunitylabel & @k67radio

On the contrary to present times, David got into music production soon after he started attending parties back in 2005 as a youngster in his hometown, 6 years before he started playing records. While his 2014 self-released debut album titled “Luv Grooves” sounds as fresh as it was released just yesterday, his breakthrough year was without a question 2017.

His anthems Greetings & Salutations, Paradise of Temptation and Forever Sade were released within just months on vinyl by labels WOLF Music, Pétrole and Dream Raw Recordings, followed by both digital and vinyl releases on RTCT, Nerang Recordings, Dansu Discs, Neo Violence, Step Back Trax or Hustler Trax. Year after year he kept releasing music on established labels and his own House of Unity.

Shemotions (2020) on Releisure NYC or newest HoU release Hypnotic Delight (2022) are proof that he is going deeper and is not afraid of experimenting with new sounds and tempos.

David's DJ sets have been seen & heard in Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Munich, Zurich, Warsaw and several others cities across Europe. Back in 2020 he was part of dMIT.ry's Neo Violence Takeover on Hör. His music was supported & played by the names like Move D, Shur-I-Kan, Lefto Early Bird, DJ Boring, Moxie, Asquith and aired on several radio stations like NTS, Rinse FM, LOT, Kiosk, Balamii, Lovelee Amsterdam, Soulection LA ...

Far Out Recordings was founded in 1994 by London DJ and record producer Joe Davis. His longstanding and insatiable passion for Brazilian music, fuelled by his initial love of the jazz, funk and soul ubiquitous on the Rare Groove scene in 1980s London, took him to Brazil first as a teenager. It was there that his enthusiasm for record-collecting led him to some of his musical heroes and the eventual formation of musical bonds and close friendships. Joe’s early discoveries led to him becoming the UK’s foremost authority on Brazilian music, much of it little-known here before his enthusiastic endorsements began to ring out across the music scene. This led to the inevitable, and the keen young music fan and DJ with an entrepreneurial flair founded Far Out Recordings.

The label’s aim from the start has been to bring the sound of Brazil to the world – to showcase the history and culture of a land bursting with creativity and energy – from the classic to the cutting edge. There have been numerous releases from both new and established Brazilian artists including legends such as Azymuth, Joyce, Marcos Valle, Arthur Verocai, The Ipanemas, Sabrina Malheiros, Clara Moreno and Binario, to name a few. 

Far Out also releases music from musicians and producers around the world who share the label’s appreciation for Brazilian music and culture. Alongside Brazilian music, the label is also well known for its longstanding association with underground dance music, having collaborated with some of the most acclaimed and accomplished electronic producers of our times. This had led to a rich plethora of pioneering and innovative dance and beats music, forging a future for the oft-neglected role of Brazil and its rhythms in the complex dance music diaspora of the UK and US, with 12" remixes and original productions from the likes of Theo Parrish, Mark Pritchard, 4hero, Dego, Andres, Marcellus Pittman, Kirk Degiorgio, Nicola Conte, A.D. Bourke, Henry Wu and Rick Willhite among many others.

Joe's crate-digging mentality has also been the driving force behind another crucial aspect of Far Out's work - unearthing forgotten masterpieces and once impossible to find records. This has led to reissues from the likes of Milton Nascimento and Roberto Quartin’s catalogue of lost gems, resulting in some of the finest Brazilian reissues you’re likely to find. While this remains a relatively small percentage of the label's output, every release is brought to you with the utmost love and care, ensuring painstaking perfection in the realms of sound, aesthetic and physicality.

Many of the artists on the Far Out roster regularly tour worldwide, playing across Europe, the USA and the Far East. Look out for them in your town, spreading the joy, the warmth and the restless creativity of Brazilian music and all that Far Out seeks to represent. “After more than twenty years of Far Out, we are only just beginning to realise our ambitions” surmises Joe. “We are still learning about production, recording and music, always.. and we are fortunate to be surrounded by the most exciting group of musicians and producers who are making consistently brilliant music. We are still intent on finding new stars, but we are immensely proud of what we have achieved so far and our formidable artist roster.”

Wagner Ribeiro De Souza AKA DJ Patife (the ‘scoundrel’) was born and
raised in Brazil's music and clubbing capital São Paulo. He started out
as a DJ in a local Hip Hop band, having been influenced by Sound
System and Hip Hop culture, before falling in love with Jungle and

A Brazilian Drum & Bass legend, he has played the globe: from WMC

to Sonar Festival (Spain).
As a producer, Patife is best known for 'Sambassim Remix', by Fernanda Porto that played by Gilles Peterson, Laurent Garnier and Andy C. It also won 'Best Dance Music
Video' award at the MTV Video Music Awards in Brazil. But it was his
part on the Brasil EP on V recordings, that rubber stamped his arrival.
It’s the ability to cross-over genres; from D & B to the jazz scene, that
sets him apart. 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 Festival.
