Arena Lounge

Arena Lounge Dj Set Vol 20

He is, without a doubt, one of the djs who most contributed to the evolution of the dance scene in Portugal.
Beside him, were names like Underworld, Danny Tenaglia, Roger Sanchez, Dj Vibe, Deep Dish, François K, Carl Cox, Jeff Mills, Dave Clark, Groove Armada, among many others.
But more than the names, was and it is his work that stands out before everyone.
Beginning his career in the 1980s with residency at the Plateau (Official) and progression to the mythical "Alcântara Mar", he ended up, give life to the first album to be recorded by a club in Portugal: “The House of Rhythm”.

It was with this record that he achieved what was never achieved before, the first gold record in national electronic music.
In addition, there are numerous milestones associated with different projects, such as Delicado, Crystal Symphony, LL Project and DarkMountainGroup, a co-project with Alex Santos and whose first single, “Lose Control”, reached the number 1 from British DJ Magazine.
When in the mid-90s the first volume of the series of mixed compilations of the mythical Alcântara-Mar club was launched, Luís Leite was already a strong name in our club scene and a pioneer of dance music in Portugal. With a great impact of the compilation and his entry in the first place of the sales tops, Luís becomes part of one, at the time still small, group of DJs coming from the underground who managed to enter the Portuguese mainstream without compromising his music. It was 1996 and the pirate cassettes of the "Alcântara" CDs changed hands in schools and on the streets in large numbers, as if they belonged to Nirvana or Guns & Roses. Teenagers pissed off their parents to wear rings, shave their hair and blow their allowance up in Jimmy Doyle boots like ravers did.
With a mix of American hard house, b-sides of European trance, some English techno and new national production, Luís Leite built the monster that would become the sound of "Alcântara-Mar": naked, fast, oscillating between clubby exuberance and industrial austerity - with an undeniable crossover potential. Also with his production he created some of the greatest classics in our dance music; everyone who grew up in the 90's recognizes "Khine #3" when they hear it, and "Work In Progress" is not only one of the best moments at Kaos Records but it still retains an elegance that makes it modern. In collaboration with Alex S (Urban Dreams) he gave us the Delicado project in the early 2000s, where he exchanged electronic hardness for jazzy influences. Later,  also with Alex, he created one of the biggest international hits of the house of his time with the project Darkmountaingroup, released under the label Buzzin 'Fly by Ben Watt (Everything But The Girl). His dedication and genius ear are only comparable to his humility and work of spirit, typical of a time when DJs were just employees.
From then on, invitations to record mixed cds hadn’t stopped.
