"One of the very few producers who embraces house music, yet does not shy away from kuduro, the style in which he first honed his skills. He comes from kuduro, so you know drum patterns hold no secrets to him, and when he makes house music, it's highly percussive, irresistible stuff."

"Angolan producer DJ Satelite, who first came to our attention with his accidental UK Funky anthem Trombetas De Angola. Sterling stuff indeed!"
BoilerRoom

"One of Angola's foremost music producers, who's making a huge splash in the thriving afro house scene right now but refuses to let go of his kuduro roots. Expect a masterclass on Angolan dance music that must be witnessed (and danced to) on the front row."
