Diogo Gomes

   
Portugal
 

Diogo started his career at the young age of 16 , at the same time the psy trance movement was arriving to Portugal , being part of the first generation of dj´s from this style , which is very strong in our country (Portugal trance scene is one of the biggest in the world). Since then he realized that his life would have to be connected with music , and from that moment he started to look at his work very seriously an in a professional way , what gave him some recognition between the Portuguese scene , and getting gigs with the biggest party promoters in Portugal , such as Hipnose (for who he worked as a resident Dj for several years) , Stereo Legs (where he also did had some responsibilities as a promoter) , Magma (he was working as a resident dj for 2 years , with this progressive trance party promoters) and GoodMood (the guys behind the Boom festival).

For 3 years he was also collaborating with Dance Club , the only dance music magazine in Portugal , writing reviews about all trance novelties . In 2001 he was invited to mix a cd which is sold with the magazine (more then 20.000 printed every month).

With the recognition of this work by all the dance music scene in Portugal , came the opportunity to have a radio show , during 2 years , weekly , in radio Vox , the largest dance music radio in Portugal at that time , which helped a lot spreading his name around the country.

Also for some time he was collaborating with Chaishop (check www.chaishop.com) , the largest trance related site in the world (with about 60.000 visits a month ) where he was responsible for the Portuguese section.
In 2004 he is for the third time nominee for the prize of best Portuguese trance dj (he was nominee in all the editions of this prize , which is given by the Portuguese dance music magazine Dance Club).

Along his 8 years of career he played in almost all important clubs in Portugal , such as Industria , Pacha , Paradise Garage , Alcântara Mar , Seagull , PsyClub , Hard Club , Rocks , News , to name just a few. Also he played in all major festivals and events in our country , such as Optimus Hipe @ Meco (in all the editions of this festival , where you could listen to names like Bjork , Moby , Herbert , Nightmare on Wax…) Elektro parade (the portuguese version of Love parade) Dance in Douro , Sagres 2002 , A União faz a Dança (opening night for the Expo 98 , which was held in Lisbon) , Boom Festival (progressive house set in the alternative floor) , etc…

In 1999 we also got very interested in more clubby sounds , and since then he started to play more and more club orientated stuff . In his set´s we can listen to a bit of everything , since danceable , from breaks to more tech stuff , tough the progressive side of house is the main dish , inspired by the ones like John Digweed , Anthony Pappa , Kasey Taylor , Hernan Cattaneo , Chris Fortier , James Zabiela , to name just a few , usually his set´s are strong and intense , making a good impact in any dancefloor..
Alongside his dj career , he is also a sound technician , working in a studio where he already had the chance to work with a wide range of artists , from pop stuff to electronic , also some publicity for radios and also the sound production for a children animated TV serie.

In 2003 he joins dj Bart , and together they create Feed Me records , a label aimed to feed the musical needs of all of those who love this kind of music as much as we do.
