Go BackAttik
From: BRAZIL
Attik

Back in 2005, the Brazilians and best friends Hugo Dias and Thiago Almeida decided to step into the music production. The decision followed a natural course: as avid club-goers, both of them started to listen to a lot of electronic music tracks. Needless to say that it slowly became a passion for these guys. Back then, every DJ used to play techno, but, in a very short period of time, other styles started to see the light: progressive house, electro and minimal invaded the dancefloors in their town.
The passion rapidly became obsession: feeling that they could do the same as their favourite artists, Hugo and Thiago created Major Pax, the first electronic music duo in their city. With the newborn project, they tested their expertise on tracks which style varied from progressive house, breakbeat and downtempo. These tracks reached the world through various labels, such Loopfreaks Black and Pantano Beat. The project also released two digital albuns: "Things To Come" and "Somewhere Out Here", both hitting some of their tracks on the Beatports Top 100.
But both of them felt that they could do more than they already did. With some experience in music production, they felt that it was time a for a little change: they needed to test their skill on new styles. Finally they reached some new grounds: techno and house.

As their new tracks was becoming so different from Major Pax stuff, they decided to make a new project to prove their talent in different ways. The chosen name was Attik.
Attik first rose to prominence following the 2008 launch of the label Bleep Bloop Records (digital music label, owned by Hugo and Thiago, along with LC Junior, Anderson Fellini and Rodrigo Farinha, aka Faraz). Now, with their own outlet, they got more creative freedom and flexibility on their release schedule, wich allowed them to experiment styles such as minimal, tribal house, techno and tech house.

With creative and singular tracks, its no wonder why Hugo and Thiago are getting the proper appreciation not only on their native country, but around the four corners of the world. Their recipe for success resides in a mix of groovy basslines, frenzy percussions, heavy kicks and, sometimes, a little spicy latin flavour. Tracks such "Patrola", "Like This" and "Nooit Stoppen" gives a happy and uplifting energy to many DJ sets.

Their remix for Talal & Zois "African Baby" has been played at D-Edge, the 9th Worlds Best Club - and the first in America - according to DJ Mags April edition. Other tracks such as "Juanita", "Roboto" and "No Room To Swing A Cat" has been played on a routine basis at Garare, one the best clubs in whole Latin America, always delivering high doses of goosebumps and excitation to its club-goers.
Most recently, their remix for Bruno Rodrigos "Drugs Of Choice" hitted the Track-It-Downs Top 100, reaching the 34th position of all genres, and the 2nd position in the Tech Houses Top 100, ahead from names such as Marco V, Zoo Brazil, Spektre, Len Faki, Steve Lawler, Hector Couto, Umek, Alex Celler and Milton Channels. The site also posted a little review of the track: "ROCKING remix here from Attik on the legendary Bleep Bloop label! Every now and again you hear a track with a groove that just works so well it hurts, and this is one of those tracks! Everything is in the right place which makes for a dance floor BOMB - Funky as hell with quirky vocals, check the drop at the 2:18 mark - AWESOME!!"

Nowadays, the duo - which already shared line ups with names such D-Nox and Beckers and Tocadisco - is one of the hottest electronic music projects in Brazil, making them the biggest revelation in 2009.
