バイオグラフィ
- Brazilian DJ, radio host, and music curator.Most artists strive to find proper conditions to bring their efforts to fruition, but some yearn for something else. They become catalysts of sorts, working towards the materialization of spaces and resources that could serve their peers so they can thrive together. Thus, apart from their own artistic expression, their creative force is used to build platforms that operate at the communal level, strengthening the collective values so the individual wills can find ways to fulfill their potential. These agents of change are scarcer than necessary but their work is a quintessential part of any scene, a pivotal element of their functioning as havens for artistry. Such a galvanizing role is the one that Akin Deckard has been relentlessly performing for more than a decade in his hometown São Paulo, via a variety of initiatives that became staples of his local relevance. The same in which he found his own place not only as a celebrated curator and agitator but also as a prolific selector. This offering provides sonic evidence of the passion he brings to every realm of his activities, a metaphor for the gravitational force he embodies. A manifestation of his prowess in manipulating eclectic forces to energize any musical project, be it a mix, a party, a label, or whatever else he sets himself out to do. - Words by Gop Tun
