- Calapez is not your average DJ / Producer. He likes techno and house, but he likes it weird and complex. He's not convinced about all this "the first minute I saw a record I fell in love with DJing" thing. He's strictly into vinyl as he's shortsighted..Calapez (born Lisbon, Portugal, 1980) had piano lessons when we was a kid, but music didn’t feel like destiny at the time (although now he thanks mom and dad that he’s had them). He went on to do photography and video, topping it off with a chemistry graduation at university.Curiously it was at that point that Calapez decided that lab work wasn’t his thing, and DJing (which he had been doing for some time, in a slightly random way) and producing seemed like a much better idea, heading off to London to learn the way of the producer. Manuel Calapez story in techno, once back in Portugal, begins in partnership with Filipe “Jackspot” Furão, teaming up as Internal Sync. Together they’ve wandered around Techno, Minimal and House, getting releases on labels like Datapunk, Klang Gymnastik, Fortek or Plasteline, remixing people like Tristy Nesh and Access Denied. His solo debut came on Florian Meindl/Koletzki’s FLASH digital, getting a track (“It strikes me as a Piano”) in the new Flash compilation series. It’s still techno, but with a house feeling approach, as it was more clearly shown afterwards on his first Troia Release, “Trespassing”. It can also get more abstract (check “Late Again” on Meleon Music) or deep (“Fridge door” on Keep On Records), or plain house feel, and that's what the "You Know Better" EP stands for. Techno is his main feel, and his record "Flight Case" on Weave Music got to be Raveline Mag, Techno Record of the month in August 2009. Calapez has played at: Tresor, Pick-Nick, Pulp Mansion, Ritter Butzke (Berlin), Subway Club (Cologne), Dimuschi (Paris), Lux, Europa (After-hours), Frágil, Lounge, LEFT (Lisboa), Maus Hábitos, Plano B, Passos Manuel and Triplex (at Porto), ADN (Setúbal), NB (Viseu), Amo-te Meco, Amo-te Chiado, Pop.up bar, Texas Bar (Lisboa), Duplex, Lusco-Fusco Bar (Viseu). He played as well at Festival das Músicas do Mundo (Sines), Festival-X, Camp'05 Festival and Festival Danças com Livros (in Montemor-o-Novo), Experimenta Design, Centro Cultural de Belém and Lisbon's Museum of Ancient Art (M.N.A.A. - Museum's day). He's also one half of Internal Sync (teaming up with Jackspot), having played all arround Portugal (including BOOM Festival 2008), and with live and dj sets in Berlin, Paris and Athens. Releases on Klang Gymnastik, Fortek, Datapunk, Plasteline, Kritik Recs. ... Besides this he was the founder of Noite CD-R (http://www.noitecdr.net), a special night where non-edited producers showed their music in a club type sound system. These were work sessions, the general rehearsal of tracks: checking sound levels, bass strength, voice clarity and also, observing the public reaction.̸V/A - Compilation A (Calapez - It strikes me as a piano) - FLASH Digital, 2008 Trespassing EP - Troia Recordings, 2008 V/A - Meleon Music One Year Weekend (Calapez - Late Again) - Meleonmusic (mp3) You Know Better - Troia Recordings, 2009 Flight Case EP (+ Ahmet Sisman remix) - Weave Music (weave 27), 2009 Tommie Train - Finger Tracks (finger004), 2009 Breaking Up EP - Troia Recs, mp3, 2010 Cleaning Up EP - Keep on Records Limited, 2010 Beta Blocker EP - Fortek, 2011 Remixes: Himan - Alaska (Calapez Freezing my ass off remix), mp3,2010 Pedro Goya - Movida (Calapez remix), Troia Recs, mp3, 2010 Himan - A Strange Town (Calapez this is Lisbon remix), Kant Recordings, mp3, 2010 Guy D - Alhambra (Calapez remix), Keep On records, 2010 Arkademode - La Aspiradora (Calapez remix).
