MASTIKSOUL



MastikSoul started his career in 92, in a time where his life was split between Portugal and France, and from where he watched the raise of a new musical culture, that in association with his strong African roots designed his talent in a unique form.


Biography

Being connected to techno music for a while, where he released his first twelve-inch and developed his dj and producer skills, came in the late 90´s with the desire of embracing other styles. House music became his main inspiration.

His vision and his style, both clearly reflect his origins, very percussive and tribal, and early 2000, with his musical productions, has been truly noticed and acclaimed by some of the biggest house names in the scene such as Tony Thomas,
Tom Stephan, Grant Dell, Terry Francis, Nathan Coles, Layo, Circulation, Justin Drake from Peace Division, and also by the Uk´s main dance press like Mixmag, Jockey Slut and Dj Magazine.

In the beginning of this century he builds a production studio in London, and materializes two important projects: 4Kenzo Recordings and Digital Distribution with dj Token Pace.

The dj work increases in this period and he plays in important clubs such as Rex (Paris), Ultimate Base (London), Gas (London), The Cross (London), Locomia (Albufeira), Kremlin (Lisbon), Alcantara Club (Lisbon), Decadance (Belgium) among others.

In 2003, MastikSoul starts strong with 4Kenzo recordings and with a release on Difference records entitle “South Tribal Ep.”, international recognition soon arrived.

“South Tribal Ep.” Was licensed to TV show in UK and was supported by many acclaimed djs.

In 2003, MastikSoul licenses a track entitle “I believe”, to a compilation mixed by Eddie Richards for much acclaimed club Fabric in UK.

Works increases and MastikSoul starts new label Moxi Records with is fellow tribal guru Tony Thomas.

With support of djs like Carl Cox and Tennaglia to name a few
Moxi records becomes a world reference.
