Brazil is the hub of the South America house music scene and DJ Edground is one of the most important brazilian house DJ’s. São Paulo born Edground was raised on the influence of underground house parties where he discovered the joy of house music. This sealed his fate.

Six months later he bought his first 12inch (which he still plays), and a year later he played his first ever gig.
