LIVE REMIX PORJECT
with DJ ENFERNO
If DJ Enferno was only known as the guy Madonna picked to cut up samples and assist in remix productions for her shows, helping to make the Sticky & Sweet Tour the highest-grossing tour of the year, he could look comfortably back on an illustrious and successful career. But for Enferno, a veteran club DJ, turntablist, production guru and creator of the much-lauded Live Remix Project (more on that later), the tour is simply the natural progression to a consistently bourgeoning career.
The drive to excel has always pushed Enferno to be the best at whatever he does. (It’s no coincidence he earned a Black Belt in karate by age 9.) As a kid, years before becoming a DJ, Enferno would cut and splice together snippets from different songs, creating seamless mixtapes, using nothing more than cassettes and a boom box. Not long after getting his first DJ setup, Enferno would set up a mobile DJ unit, perfecting his skills for hours a day, and play whatever high school (and later college) party would have him.
After graduating from college with a business degree, the D.C.-based Enferno worked the corporate world by day and deejayed the clubs at night. “It was always something on the side,” he says. “But the gigs kept on coming.” As his clout as a club deejay began to grow, Enferno would see a video that would take him down a parallel path in his DJ career.
“My best friend showed me a video tape of the 1997 DMC and ITF DJ competitions,” he recalls. “My first feeling was, ‘How are these guys creating these sounds with just turntables and a mixer??’ I would watch that tape over and over, rewinding and studying the mechanics of their scratching and juggling techniques. I was fascinated by the art.”
From there, he was hooked. In 1999, Enferno would enter his first DMC competition, the most prestigious in the world. While he didn’t win the first year, he would spend countless hours working on his routines, scoring higher with each passing year, until finally winning the U.S. Championship in 2003.
Enferno hung up his battle needles in 2004, and continued to increase his exposure in the club world, touring all over the USA, Asia, and parts of Europe, even making a feature appearance on MTV’s Direct Effect in 2004. Taking club audiences by storm with his combination of musical knowledge, crowd control, and championship technical skills, by 2006, Enferno was on top of the club world with his multi-genre open-format style on the decks.
But he knew there was more. “I’ve always been fascinated with the idea of ‘performing’ on turntables in front of an audience,” says the classically-trained pianist. “I saw what Q-Bert was doing: traveling the world, performing on turntables like a rock star…like a musician. And then one day, I walked into a Virgin Megastore in Paris and saw this electronic musician performing. He was using a bunch of keyboards and samplers to create, sample, and loop sounds to create music on the SPOT. Then he would get on the keyboards and improvise to the music he just created. WOW. I thought to myself, ‘I bet I could do that, but with keyboards, samplers, and turntables.’”
Thus spawned the Live Remix Project (LRP) in 2006, a “one-man symphony” incorporating turntables, instruments, effects and samplers that combines musical virtuosity with technical proficiency. LRP draws on a myriad of Enferno’s skills—a musician’s natural ear for music, exceptional turntablist ability and production wizardry—to upend the traditional idea of a deejay “set.” “Basically, it allows me to produce music live on the spot as opposed to just getting up there and spinning a record,” says Enferno. “I’m able to record sounds from the turntables and keyboards and then affect and mix those sounds live. So instead of mixing between two turntables, I’m managing up to 20 sources of sound at a time, all by myself.” The result is, as the Miami New Times recently put it, “a tech-toy geek’s dream come true…Trainspotters eat up its impressively innovative tangle of wires and software; dance-floor denizens are moved by its democratic multigenre, all-fun groove.” (Check out www.liveremixproject.com for a sample.)
In fact, it was at a LRP set that Enferno caught the eye of Kevin Antunes, Madonna’s musical director, who happened to be at Enferno’s show after getting directions from the boss herself to look out for some “cutting edge deejays” for her upcoming tour. After seeing a video of his LRP set, Enferno could add Madonna as a loyal fan and before he knew it, he was rehearsing for the Material Girl’s tour. (Ironically, the deejay’s first slow dance was to Madonna’s “Crazy For You” at 13 years old.)
Enferno’s role wasn’t limited to performing on stage with Madonna and the rest of the band. Off stage, Enferno was called upon by Madonna to help with musical arrangements and programming. For three months, six days a week, 10-12 hours a day, Enferno would rehearse with Antunes and the rest of the crew, and create mashups, remixes and interstitials that would form the backbone of the concert. “It still blows my mind,” he says with a laugh. “I used to get a rush when a few hundred people in a club liked my work. Imagine what it’s like to see as many as 75,000 people lose their minds as the biggest star in the world performs the very remix that I helped produce!”
Today, DJ Enferno is showing no signs of resting on his laurels. In 2009, Enferno has already successfully combined his club mixing with his Live Remix techniques in a hybrid “DJ vs. Musician vs. Producer” performance suitable for both clubs and live stages. On the production end, Enferno is building on his tour experience, hitting the studio hard. Look out for more remix releases by Enferno into 2010.

DJ SABRINA
FRIDAY 19th,2010
Aready as a teenager Sabrina discovered her passion for dance music.
The legendary raves in the nineties and numerous club-events had an enormous impact on her.
In the same days young Sabrina started a very succesful career as a model.
This thrilling occupation brought her all around the world.
Dance music remained a part of her life ever since.
No matter whether she had a photo-shoot in Cape-Town or Dubai, it was electronic dance-music
which was played in the bars and clubs where the fancy people go.
After moving to Miami on a professional basis Sabrina was taken away by the
newest developments in American house-music. In the legendary SPACE she has
seen the most promising talents from the States. Back in Europe she spent
summertime in Ibiza to see the most prestigious DJ's standing on the decks
in legendary AMNESIA. Being part of both the fashion-world and the
international dance-music community deeply influenced Sabrina's sense of music.
It was back in 2005 when Sabrina started as a DJ for herself: "As a model
you spend much time in the areoplane. You better have some good music with
you." On her labtop Sabrina made her own mixes to have some good music for
travelling. On a private party a good friend of Sabrina listened to it by
chance. He was so impressed by her skills that he encouraged her to turn the
tables professionally: "You've got the global flavour. You combine the
coolness of model-business with the vibrant spirit of electronic
dance-music."
Concerning her music-style Sabrina points out: Of
course, my sound is in between progressive- and electro-house. But other
styles like Tech-Trance and Uplifting influence my sets too." But after all,
Sabrina says, it all comes back to this: "I just love electronic dance-music
which moves and cheers the people up all around the world. The main thing is
to have an interaction with the people and to give them a good time."
For the future Sabrina has ambitious plans: "By modelling i became very
cosmopolite so i can easily adopt to the preferences in different cultures.
So in first place i want to continue to play my records all over the world.
No matter whether in a club or at a huge event as long as i feel the spirit
of the crowd." Beyond DJing Sabrina also started to remix my favourite
tracks and started to work on my own compositions: "It's gonna be a blast!"

DJ RITA

Born in 1978, Rita Ribeiro aka Dj Rita X. Craft soon discovered her passion for music. Her first steps were given at the age of five, when she started to have violin lessons.
As time went by, music continued to follow her every move. A lot of hard work and dedication, allied to her music lover spirit, lead her to the final of Heineken Thirst Deejaying Contest in 2004- where she seized the occasion to reveal her expertise and prove her excellent taste in music. Winning 1st place gave her right projection at the right time.
A unique style and amazing technical skills gave Rita the opportunity to share the decks with famous deejays such as François Kervokian, Kasey Taylor, Leeroy Thornhill (from Prodigy), Tim Healy (Electric Tease), Tobias Becker (Kompakt), Chemical Brothers, Roger Sanchez, Sander Kleinenberg, Funk D..Void, Thomas Schumacher, Dj Paulette to name a few. As well as many of the well known portuguese deejays such as Dj Vibe, Rui Vargas, Luís Leite and last but not least, Portugal new generation deejays and friends Bart Cruz and Heartbreakerz.
She has played in many different venues: Paradise Garage, Op Art, Alcântara Club, Queen..s, Trignometria, Sushi Electrónica, Club NL (Amesterdam), The Lodge (Dubai) among others. Behind the deeks she explores musical styles from minimal to techno.
