SERGIO SANTOS
Sergio Santos was thrust into DJ culture as a teenager growing up in the North of Portugal. It was there that Sergio discovered his passion for music and life that he holds true to today. Spending most of the mid 90′s attending parties and events all over Europe. It wasn’t until he would return to his birthplace, Boston, MA where he would begin to pursue and advance his love for music.
After landing back in Boston, Sergio got his first set of turntables back in 89′ and began honing his DJ skills. Since those days dance music has been at the core of Sergio’s life and after a decade of leading the pack in technical ability and the constant discovery of new records he has built a reputation as a true tastemaker and the title Boston’s best Techno/House DJ and afterhours king. Through residencies at world renown venues such The Pheonix Landing and now defunct super club Avalon, Sergio has shared the booth with a laundry list of acts including Paco Osuna, Tiefschwarz, Dixon, Doc Martin, Konrad Black, Ewan Pearson and the list goes on. In many cases Sergio has played a central promotional role in premiering these names within the New England scene.
Most recently Sergio’s focus has shifted toward production and has so far released music on Wolf + Lamb, Airdrop, Jonny White’s No.19 Music, Trapez and Mothership in collaboration with fellow Bostonians, close friends and roommates Soul Clap and Tanner Ross aka Voodeux. Their first release on Airdrop Records received critical acclaim and was featured on Chloé’s ‘Let It Slow‘ April mix for Tsugi, France’s top electronic music magazine. This summer Sergio will have an EP on Los Angeles based Culprit Records with Tanner Ross and Soul Clap as the Boston supergroup SECT, as well as a remix with Tanner Ross of Claude Von Stroke ’s 2009 hit “Aundy” on Dirtybird Records.
