Renato is an experienced London-based DJ who specialises in the genres of House, Tech House, Minimal and Techno. Hailing from Porto, Renato moved to London in 2008 and has since established himself firmly within the city’s flourishing club scene. As well as performing to large audiences across London’s best-known venues (including Egg, XOYO and Ministry of Sound), Renato has frequented Ibiza, playing a number of shows at luxurious venues, from the sky-high rooftops of Ocean Drive to exclusive pool parties and ocean view bars.
Music and nightlife have always been an integral part of Renato’s life. Born into a family of creatives, it was not long before he developed a fascination with the art of performance, setting himself the goal of one day becoming a professional DJ. It was not uncommon to find the young boy shadowing professional DJs in the booth at the various bars and clubs that his mother and father managed. With his love of trance, house and techno in full bloom, Renato swapped in his toys for mixers and CDJs and made the family nightclub his playground.
Throughout his teen years, Renato would use a garage gifted to him by a close friend and collaborator to house his equipment and hone his craft. During this time he would start his career by performing regularly at house parties in Porto with his friends, drawing inspiration for his sets from the artists he idolised, such as Tiesto, Karizma, Bob Sinclair, Sasha, Jeff Mills, David Guetta, Carl Cox and Benassi to name a few.
Following his move to London, Renato has continued on his musical journey and has furthered his technical skills by taking in-depth DJ courses at LSA and immersing himself in his studies at SSR Camden, where he is currently working towards his Bachelors Degree in Electronic Music Production.
