DJ Lynce
(Portugal)

It’s not uncommon to associate someone with a city. In particular when that person is a force for bringing others together, when that person proposes states and emotions with the music chosen for that place and moment. DJ Lynce has done all that, time and time again: first in Porto, then around the whole country, from clubs to festivals. His is one of the faces that has traversed the northern city’s nightlife for too many years for us to avoid talking about his importance in the electronic pulse of those dancefloors more concerned with leaving

(unexpected) marks on our bodies. Pedro Santos chose this name because he wishes to be a predominantly nocturnal animal, but by giving himself the moniker has also connected with the root of the word: lynx is light, and on the dance floor DJ Lynce illuminates the pleasure of dance.
