DJ/Remixer LAC

He was born in 1984, in Florianópolis, south of Brazil. His first contact with electronic music when he was 16 years old.

This contact has not only remained in his fondness of House Music. Right after following the works of several DJs, he began to get highly interested in the Club Music performing. His carrer began halfway through 2005, in the most traditional gay club from Santa Catarina’s capital (which is Florianópolis): the Concorde Club.

As a DJ he has also performed at the clubs La Luna (SC), Mecenas (SC), Box (PR), Higher (SC), Cine Theatro (RS), Gáss (PR) and he was the resident DJ for two year at the the Label Party Troy! House Sex & Fetish.This same year, LAC, as he is known, set out his first steps to become a producer, starting a new phase in his carreer.

In 2005 he was invinted to be part of a new project with the extinct Drag/Dj/Producer Marcella Holloway in São Paulo, when they formed the duo ’LAC and Marcella Holloway’. In 2007 a new partnership is formed with the DJ/Producer William Mess (SP).

Lac has in his set the subgenres of House Music: The Club, genre that mixes the roots of house music, striking vocals, agressive and harmonic keyboard tunes; and Tribal, genre that came from the House Music, but which presents in its basic elements african or native rhythms, making a mix of hallucinating sounds, which can make the dance floor go crazy. Tribal or Tribe has strong and remarkable beats, yet less repetitive, at times with striking vocals. The main elements of the genre are : tambours, little drums (atabaques), berimbau (a musical instrument consisting of a wire string attached to a flexible kow and gourd that is plucked either by a coin or the finger or hit with a small stick), thus percussion intruments in general.

He has already played and remixed acknowledged artists as Sabrina Johnston, Alan T, India, Lindsay Lohan, Tramaine Hawkins, Ultra Naté, Denise, Maya, Veronica, Suzanne Palmer, Nelly Furtado, Inaya Day, Akram, Aretha Franklin among others.
