OFFICIAL OPEN PARTY: FRIDAY, MARCH 20 - 1:30AM

Wagner Ribeiro De Souza AKA DJ Patife (the ‘scoundrel’) was born and raised in Brazil's music and clubbing capital São Paulo. He started out as a DJ in a local Hip Hop band, having been influenced by Sound System and Hip Hop culture, before falling in love with Jungle and Drum & Bass in the mid-nineties.
A Brazilian Drum & Bass legend, he has played the globe: from WMC (USA), SUNANDBASS (Sardinia), Exit (Serbia), Glastonbury and Womad (UK), Skolbeats (Brazil), Montreux Jazz Festival (Switzerland), to Sonar Festival (Spain).
As a producer, Patife is best known for 'Sambassim', played by Gilles Peterson, Laurent Garnier and Andy C. It also won 'Best Dance Music Video' award at the MTV Video Music Awards in Brazil. But it was his part on the Brasil EP on V recordings, that rubber stamped his arrival.
It’s the ability to cross-over genres; from D & B to the jazz scene, that sets him apart. A resident at many a legendary Drum & Bass club night, he’s never been pigeon-holed by his great love for the genre and continues to make noise from WOMAD to Worldwide Festival.
His latest releases includes: Viva Brazil compilation (w/ SUNANDBASS Festival (Sardinia), ‘I Will’ feat. Vangeliez & DRS and ‘Living Together’ EP feat. MC Fats & Stamina MC.
Worked with/remixed artists including: Cleveland Watkiss, Dynamite MC, De Lata (UK), Fernanda Porto, Daniela Mercury, John Parahyba, Trio Mocotó (Brazil), Zuco 103 (Netherlands), Koop (Sweden), Les Gammas (GMBH) and Satomi (Japan).
