Ricardo Manaia + Dj Ride
www.myspace.com/ridept
i'm not going to write this in the 3 rd person so... my dj name is ride, i produce, scratch and spin record's since 2002. Firstly it was strictly hip hop.. turntablism , but then i started to look further in some other and new music directions. Besides my ecletic dj set's, when i mix hip hop, funk soul, break beat, broken beat and sometimes drum n bass, my main thing is performing solo and with bands and producing. My aproach to scratch is a little bit different from what the majority people have. I make real live loops from old records and my own sounds..samples and fuse rhodes, sinths, hammonds, strings and a lot of sound's into my own way. I make live act's with one turntable, mixer and a loopstation, nowadays i use also a laptop, a effects processor, a sinth and a live drummer kicking over my own production's. I perform with the fusionist hip hop jazz project 'Rocky Marsiano' , produced by the greatest D-Mars from Loop Recording's, Spill, from the guitar virtuoso André Fernandes, Beat Bomber's, a kind of turntablism crew with my homie Ovelha Negra, and my solo project's with special guest's. Nowaday's i'm working in my experimental fusionist beat's, i will release something soon.. ride
