DJ Luiz Telles started his relation ship with music as a child with his family by listening Brazilian popular music. At the age of 14 he was in a friend’s birthday party in the town of Curitiba in the southern Brazil when the DJ didn’t turn up and the birthday girl asked him to play. Luiz who have never played out before borrowed records from friends and decided to face the challenge. It was a hit and next weekend he was starting to play every Sunday by invitation of the club owner. Back to his home town Porto Alegre Luis sat up a sound system with a group of friends and started a weekly Saturday session in a small school in his neighbourhood that lasted for 2 years It was then that he was introduced to a legendary local club called Taj Mahal where he would have his 1st opportunity to be a resident at a proper club for over 5 years. In 1989 Luiz got into a DJ competition with 240 other DJs to gain the residency at another local club called Vitraux where he djed for over 5 years again.
