SANTOS
Born in Rome 1971 Santos benefited from the strong
creativity of those early disco years. He's grateful
to have grown up in a cosy family environment warmed
up by the notes of the Discofever.
In 1976 he discovered his first musical inspiration
'Giorgio Moroder' producer of 'Donna Summer' amongst
many other. All his birthday presents had to be
records upon records, and so his deep knowledge of
contemporary electronic music started.
Fascinated by the Chicago House Music, Santos decided
to produce a track in his own bedroom and he bought
his first electronic keyboard.
In the same period he also received his first British
production 'Theme From S-Express' a track that had
the kind of strong vibe he could really relate too.
In 1992 he set up a small studio together with a
friend where he used to spend lots of hours composing
his music. Two years later in 1994 Santos made his
first record.
In '95 Santos was approached by Mantra Vibes a
record-label of Expanded music, for the track SANTOS
THE PIANO. This record created a lot buzz in the
music business and it was included in a lot of djs
playlists.
His career was taking off; 3 years later he was part
of another important project called SANTOS & SABINO
with the song LARARARI (canzone felice), a
commercial but unusual record.
With his innovating and strong mentality Santos along
with Mantra Vibes A&R Marco PeeDoo Gallerani created
a new sound, promptly named Shakadelism.
Supported by english Djs as Pete Tong, Steve Lamacq,
Annie Nightingale and Judge Jules from BBC Radio 1,
Basement Jaxx and Ashley Beadle, the single 'Camels'
scored the UK top 10, and on june 18th 2001 the
first album 'R U SHAKADELIC?' was released; the World
recognized that THE SHAKADELIC SOUND had DEFINETELY
ARRIVED.
Santos fame increased widely all around the world. He
went to play all over Europe, from Ibiza to London
(Big Beat Boutique vs. Bugged Out night) and of course
Italy and from these experiences once back in the
studio he gave life to a very special series of eps.
The 'Helsinki EP' was the first one which includes
spanish flavourred track 'Ke Dolor' which also became
a single supported immediately by Judge Jules from BBC
radio1 and contained the remix by german Jan Driver
and the one from Chill'out danish producers Banzai
Republic; second was the 'Bruxelles EP' and third
the well acclaimed 'Pandemonio EP' from the monthly
night residency at the Maffia Club in Italy which
included the astonishing track 'Sabot', the 'Tortuga
Tool' and 'No Ticket No Run' included in the Perfecto
Breaks compiled by Lee Coombs.
At the beginning of 2003 'No Ticket No Run' was
remixed by australian master Dj Krafty Kuts and
released in february on MOB Records.
2003 has also seen the born of Mantra Breaks, a Mantra
Vibes dept. dedicated to breaks where Santos has
released his first breakbeat ep called 'Another Planet
ep' with the tracks 'I Just Cannot Come Back From The
Space' (nr. #1 in the most important italian
underground radio shows), '70 Sensation' (released in
july on MOB records) and 'U Make Me Rock' remixed by
Daluq.
At the moment a new breakbeat project is out. We're
talking about 'Sabot' which has been remixed by
Drummatic Twins and it will be officially released
very soon.
All this has brought Santos to be one of the most
requested remixer of the moment. After the remix of
Fatboy Slim (by the way one of the major Santos
supporters) 'Drop The Hate', Santos reached number 1
in the Dance German Chart with the remix project of
Armand Van Helden's 'Funk Phenomena' and he was asked
to remix Robbie Rivera's 'Funkatron' which was very
well received. Recently Santos scored once again the
number #1 position of july Cool Cuts Chart with the
remix of Junior Senior 'Rhythm Bandits'.
What's coming up later?
A new ep, some very strange and original projects and
soon a compilation of Santos works.
Definetely there's still a lot to be seen.
