INFO
Patriarca is the man behind acts like Dubhead, Los Brutos, or most of all, Minima, which are Brazil‘s Live-PA pioneers of choice. Over the last two years, the man has finally achieved what only very few other Brazilian producers have even looked for yet: a genuine Brazilian House Music style.

He does so without ever falling into that „Samba-House“ pitfall which has erased any interest in „authentic“ Brazilian electronic music in the past. But rather by creating a tough and vibrant, yet poetic atmosphere that seems to come directly from the streets of Sao Paulo instead. A leitmotiv that we can observe in all of his productions: a certain rough and hedonistic funkyness beyond the standard clichés of what people perceive as „Brazilian".
