Bio:

Since the 90s Hugo has been involved in electronic / dance music. Having started on the dance floor he decided in 2002 to try the other side - the decks. Since then he hasn't stop. Owner of an impressive vinyl collection he believes in music sharing as a meaningful way of living. He likes to mix a variety of sounds reflecting his diverse influences. From House to Techno, touching Minimal and Disco, each set is a groovy trip through his musical universe. He is also half of Sweet&Sour with Nuno di Rosso. Hugo has been playing in Lux, Paradise Garage, Club Lua, Fluid, Velvet, Left, Mexe Cafe, Cabaret Maxime, Mare' Alta, Europa, Coconuts. He's been a resident DJ in Op Art, Estado Liquido and Horta da Fonte. These are the clubs and bars that form typical Lisbon's nightlife. Last year (2007) he played for the first time in a Portuguese big festival – SUDOESTE. And he will be again this year. .. .. .. .. .. Do House ao Techno, passando pelo Minimal e Disco mais contemporâneo, cada set resulta numa viagem cadenciada pelo seu universo musical. Neste momento é parte integrante da MatchYourSound.
