26 yo DJ and producer since 2022 from Czech Republic. 

I like electro music from my childhood. 
My sister Andrea was listening The Prodigy, The Chemical Brothers and other electro music in millennium, so I think she is a big apart of that all.
I really loved this dancing vibes, this regular magic rhytm. You listen some PC sounds, but although it doesn't exists, it makes You feel some feelings and imagination. It's abstract art.
 
I started with mixing in Virtual Dj when I was 18 years old, it was when year 2017 started. 
I remember these times, when I was really excited makin' mixes with computer mouse and 4 deck in Virtual Dj, haha. 
During time in this year, my friend Daryl borrowed me basic Hercules Dj console and I had finally first hardware for mixing to use and I started with recording my first mixes. 
In same time I downloaded demo version FL studio 9 and when I opened this program, my first though was: WTF, is that aircraft dashboard??? Okay, where to start?
During time, I was making mixes on Hercules console with my friend Daryl and in the end of year 2018 I bought my first control Silvercrest console from my friend Radek. I was happy, that I had my first hardware for mixing and I spent lot of time with that. It was lot of training and trying what to do with that. In this season with my friend Daryl we we're playing in The ,,Machine club'' in Mohelnice few times and in our friend's Jindra's wood cabin or somewhere out at nice places with laptop, console and speaker just for fun. Nice days.
I was workin' in England and in year 2021 I bought my first control, Traktor S2 Mk3 from one guy. I was really happy.
In year 2022 we started mix with my friend Daryl in ,,Klub ve zdi'' in Zábřeh with help of our friend Dave 87. 
Till this time, I was trying to make some basic beats in FL Studio and one day in November I decided, that I want make my first track. 
First December 2022 I upload my first tune called ,,Horizon''.

At the beginning of 2023, I went to work to Holland, where I bought a ReMOTE Compact sampler for 10€ from a bazaar in Sneek and it still helps me in my work. By time I also got a drumpad from Akai and I use the keys, which I use for "covers'' too.

Today I'm still producing tracks and uploading to SoundCloud and to Youtube. 
The more I know, the less I know, but I love this progress and it makes me happy more and more. 
I still do mix too and I share my mixes to Mixcloud and mixes with video to YouTube. This hobby is really big apart of my life and I want keep goin' in this way. 
I'm into bass, deep and dark styles, DNB, Dubstep, Deep House, etc. but I love exploring new stuff and new genres and trying still for something new, in mixing and in production too. I don't have abroads in that. My plan right now is to buy vinyls with mix and to start mixing traditionally from LP's.

I am glad for every feedback or for every support 🤙 
So enjoy and have a fine listening 🎧

Music is the universal language of mankind.

Moving to London from São Paulo eleven years ago, S.P.Y was quick to establish himself within the UK drum+bass scene. After six months of working with only basic equipment, S.P.Y’s natural talent for production saw his first ever release signed to Metalheadz in 2005, with a release on Hospital’s Medschool imprint soon following in 2006.  S.P.Y began collaborating with artists such as Marcus Intalex, Total Science, Kasra and DJ Marky. In 2009 S.P.Y released his first solo EP on Marcus Intalex’s label Soul:R and had releases on many other labels including Digital Soundboy and Innerground. 

The following years were immensely successful for S.P.Y, with Friction including five S.P.Y tracks on his MoS compilation and Andy C featuring four tracks on ‘Nightlife’. Proving his production quality and consistency in 2010 / 2011, S.P.Y delivered standout releases on Ram, Metalheadz, Critical, Shogun and Spearhead – Most notably the anthemic ‘By Your Side’. S.P.Y also took on high-profile remixes for the likes of Deadmau5, Claude von Stroke, LTJ Bukem, Chase & Status, Delilah and Zinc ft. Miss Dynamite, with S.P.Y’s own personal re-lick of Zero 7’s ‘In The Waiting Line’ becoming a signature in his live sets.

Signing to Hospital in 2012, his debut LP, ‘What The Future Holds’ was released to critical acclaim. The LP not only received significant support from fellow artists and topped online sales charts, but was also awarded the coveted ‘Best Album’ at the annual 2012 Drum & Bass Arena awards. S.P.Y backed up this release with a relentless tour schedule of Australia, the United States, Canada, Russia, Asia, New Zealand and Europe. 

S.P.Y’s skills behind the decks rival his studio talents and he delights fans with an educated blend of old school classics and fresh new beats. Always one to stay true to his roots, S.P.Y has a unique ability to bring his trademark underground sound to a worldwide audience. Alternating between beautiful, orchestral, musical sets and dark, rolling mixes, S.P.Y captures the emotions of the crowd. Whether he is playing at a high-profile festival or an intimate club show, S.P.Y always delivers.

In 2013 S.P.Y was again busy touring the world, playing at major festivals such as Tomorrowland, Global Gathering and Electric Daisy Carnival. He delivered successful remixes of James Zabiela’s ‘Perseverance’, Chris Malinchak’s ‘So Good To Me’ and Five Knives’s ‘All Fall Down’ on Red Bull Records. In addition to these achievements, S.P.Y was also selected to write, in collaboration with London Elektricity and Diane Charlemagne, the theme song for the 2014 Street Child World Cup. The track ‘I Am Somebody’ has helped to generate awareness and bring a new interest to Street Child World Cup, advocating for street children’s rights worldwide.

Moving into 2014 and S.P.Y is taking us ‘Back to Basics’ with his second LP. Released in two parts over the coming months, ‘Back to Basics’ draws inspiration from the deeper, darker sounds of drum+bass, and features collaborations with Total Science, Rene La Vice, and vocalists Diane Charlemagne, Grimm and DRS MC.

If any D+B artist can truly claim to be the “producers producer” then Carlos S.P.Y surely has a good case. If the comments on this album by his luminaries are anything to go by: "One of my fave producers" says DJ Hype, "Carlos back to his filthy best!" say Total Science, "There's only one S.P.Y” says Doc Scott.
