(Please look for "Ka§par" in Resident Advisor, as it does not allow the "§" character)

Born in 1982, Ka§par started his working life in 1997, at the tender age of 15, as a dj in strip joint in his home town. A degraded suburb in the outskirts of Lisbon. He went on to become the resident DJ at Portugal's eldest club "Frágil", the next year, a legendary spot where music is of the upmost importance and where he still plays two gigs a month to this day. In 1999 he released his first tracks, and went on to work with every major musical artist in Lisbon. In the early 2000's he became a regular guest dj at Lux-Frágil, possibly Europe's finest club.

In 2003 he started to put out his music on his own Groovement recordings, which he started with best friends Rui Torrinha and António "Jackzen" Alves. He then went on to sign for bigger and well-respected labels: Gerd's 4Lux and Serge's Clone, in Holland, where he met, similar minded people who appreciated his uncompromising style of futuristic blends in house and boogie, but that incorporate elements of funk, dub, hiphop and many other styles.
