Today in Brazil we celebrate Father’s Day, and I spent the day with my three boys whom I love so much. I wish all fathers around the world much love, strength, and art to guide their children along the wonderful road of life.

Today I turn 45.
A journey — like any of yours — filled with pain and joy, victories and defeats, but with music always as the thread that never let go.
Friends come and go, relationships end, loved ones pass away, jobs change…
But when you look back, the one thing that was always there was music.
And through it, I’ve found friendship, work, and meaning.
Thank you to everyone who’s walked this path with me, and to all who follow and support my channel.
You mean more to me than I’ll probably ever be able to fully express.
Peace.

I’ve been running this channel for several years now, sharing music, sensations, and love with each of you every single week. It’s an immense honor to do this and to know that my work touches so many people through art, beauty, and sound. Not even in my wildest dreams could I have imagined living something so special: working with what I love most — the very thing my mother taught me as a child — music.
As you know, this channel doesn’t receive money from YouTube because of the use of copyrighted material. That’s something I can’t really change, as the essence of a DJ’s work is precisely to bring together musical ideas from different places, times, and genres into a single product — telling a single story.
That’s why I depend entirely on the support of all of you who follow this channel, so it can keep going and so I can dedicate even more time, effort, and resources to take this work further.
If this project makes your days better, consider supporting us financially through Patreon — our main tool to keep this channel alive. On Patreon, besides helping financially, you’ll get access to exclusive content, join a WhatsApp group with me, and interact with a community of fellow music lovers.
If you prefer, you can also make a one-time donation via PayPal, which helps us a lot too. And if you’re someone interested in taking a step further into music, you can also take classes with me — whether to learn how to DJ or to join my mentorship program, where I help DJs create content for the internet, grow their careers, and share their music with the world.
All links are in the pinned comment. Thank you so much for your constant support.
With love,

The cultural peak of disco music was between 1975 and 1979. But that doesn’t mean the genre is locked in that era or exists only as nostalgia for a bygone time. Disco remains present today in countless places: in pop music, in rock, in Brazilian music. Just look around — the steady 4/4 pulse, groovy basslines, exuberant vocals, and a hedonistic aesthetic that transcends decades and cultures.
Disco is often seen as the mother of musical giants like house and techno. But tracing its roots even deeper inevitably leads us to Black and Latin music in the United States, where a powerful fusion of cultural and musical influences came together.
That’s why it’s hard to treat disco as a rigid genre with fixed characteristics. It’s much more a way of thinking, of feeling — a certain vibe, a certain energy — that makes you listen and say: “Hmm, this may not sound exactly like it, but it feels like disco music.”
Disco is alive, strong, and more relevant than ever. With that in mind, I created a set for my YouTube channel, posted this Monday, featuring tracks that capture this disco feeling. Some are older, others more recent, all immersed in an atmosphere so rich in colors, shapes, and textures that it feels like its own universe.

I’ve always been fascinated by the visual aesthetics of science fiction films from the 60s and 70s, especially by how those societies imagined the future — in terms of colors, shapes, and technology.
Some say it’s harder to end a relationship that never even began than to deal with one that went wrong. Just like that nostalgia for what could have been, there’s also a longing for a future that never arrived — and I know that’s what warms my heart the most when I watch films from that era.
On the internet, this kind of nostalgia has a name: retrofuturism. It’s a way of looking back — or rather, looking at the future through the eyes of the past.
Musically, nothing captures this feeling better than what’s known as space disco: a 70s offshoot of disco music that flirted with synthesizers, space-themed sounds, and often echoed the sci-fi soundtracks of the time. These tracks were filled with sonic elements reminiscent of laser guns, spaceships, and futuristic atmospheres. Giorgio Moroder, perhaps the most famous name of that generation, left behind an aesthetic that transports us to worlds full not only of sound but also of images, colors, textures, shapes, and beings — robotic or organic — that lived in the dreams of that retro-futuristic vision.
Because of all this, I created a space disco set for my YouTube channel, inviting you to dive into this universe through sound. The set is on my YouTube channel and the link is in the pinned comment. I hope you enjoy it and that it warms your heart with hope for a brighter future — even if reality keeps trying to convince us otherwise.

In the second half of the 2000s, I was swept up by a new musical wave that spread across the world, blending electronic music, indie rock, and pop. Back then, there wasn’t a specific name for it. Some called it New Rave, others Maximal, and some Electro-Rock. But over time, the term that perhaps best captures that moment became Blog House. It didn’t precisely define the genre’s sound but highlighted the role of the internet — especially music blogs and MySpace, which were instrumental in spreading this scene. Many of these tracks were made in a DIY spirit, with laptops and pirated software, in small studios or in apartment bedrooms.
Some artists who are now mainstream emerged from this wave, with Justice perhaps being its most iconic representative. The French duo, signed to Ed Banger — the most emblematic and influential label of the Blog House era — embodied the energy and aesthetic of that period like no one else. Other names like Boys Noize, MSTRKRFT, Digitalism, Crookers, and Soulwax also helped shape the sound and spirit of the time.
It was an intense era when genre-blending felt revolutionary: electronic music infused with rock’s rawness, pop’s fluidity, and a visual aesthetic marked by neon colors, pixel art, and the digital chaos of the early social media age. The parties had a chaotic, liberating energy, with dance floors where anything felt possible, reflecting the DIY spirit that democratized music production back then.
Blog House has shaped my journey ever since and remains part of my musical identity. This week I released a set on my YouTube channel featuring tracks I see as essential from that time — or at least the ones I played most at parties back then. I hope listening gives you a taste of the aesthetic that defined the late 2000s.

The 80s took over pop culture, especially music, with unmistakable tones and textures. It was one of the last decades when popular music still carried a clear sense of futurism and progress — a time when we dreamed of a more modern world, filled with robots and computers.
This soon changed, especially after the 2000s, when the real advent of these technologies — and the resulting frustration with the unfulfilled promises of a more comfortable and exciting life — led us to look back to the past in search of comfort. This idea resonates with the work of the late British writer Mark Fisher, particularly in his book Capitalist Realism, which I highly recommend.
In Brazil, it was no different. 80s music, whether with a more regional or universal focus, carries these qualities across its many records. With that in mind, I created a new set for my YouTube channel, featuring only Brazilian 80s classics — tracks that preserve the sonic aesthetic of that period, even though their themes often prove timeless and continue to fit perfectly into modern arrangements.
The set is now live on my YouTube channel. The link’s in the pinned comment

A lot of people associate the history of electronic music with its North American roots — especially disco — but often forget there's a parallel school deeply rooted in Jamaican music, particularly reggae and dub.
It was through dub that, perhaps for the first time so explicitly, the sound engineer and studio producer began to be seen as creative, artistic forces in the musical process. Dub is, above all, producer's music — just like what we see today in electronic music culture.
This tradition, carried by the Jamaican diaspora to London, would later be foundational to the rise of genres like jungle, drum and bass, UK garage, 2-step, and more.
I’m saying all this because I just recorded a new set for my channel — strictly reggae and Jamaican dub classics. Pure fire, pure vibes.
