(verse 1) Allow me the breeze, The space! The chance to dance To take a chance To dazzle, to tease, With grace, to please Let me dive, I know I must Step aside... No one ... To Trust (chorus 1) Let Me Be, Whoever I Want to Be Let Me Be Me (be myself) (verse 2) Grant this to me, A liberty Free from your tought Prove this to me... Your worth, Or take your shot What am I? What You Pursue What I Am... A Part Of You (chorus 2) Let Me Be, whoever I want to be Let Me Be Me (be myself) I wanna be me, be me, be free, be free (chorus 3) Let Me Be Me! Let Me Be, whoever I want to be Let Me Be Me (be myself) I wanna be me, be me, be free, be free

about

After two decades releasing music, I’ve had the chance to work extensively as a touring DJ, A&R,
music producer and teacher, sound engineer, coffee maker for many different labels and projects.
Despite that, I’ve only released one album before (“Ascensus” on 4Lux, Rotterdam, in 2013), and it did fairly
well... Overcoming the fears of continuity, I've created “Ave de Rapina” during the outbreak of COVID-19 -
after submitting myself to social isolation.
The music I chose for it is highly personal and I hope it reflects the originality I’ve aimed to develop with my
music over the years and mirrors the influence of the great geniuses that have inspired me... sometimes with
greater success and visibility than others but always with immense dedication. It gathers fresh studio mixes
and versions of tracks previously only released on vinyl through respected labels like Finale Sessions
(Orlando), Midnight Shift (Singapore/Berlin) Escapade (Paris), Hands Off (Odense) or Con+ainer (Porto) to
name a few… adding a few experiments that were either unreleased or only found in rare CD compilations.
Many of these tracks are available digitally now for the first time, or have been developed during his confinement
to sound as close to the original vision I had for them, as my current skill set allows.
There’s much in “Ave De Rapina” that relates to jazz-funk, but also hip hop, cinematic scores, dub ,
ambient music, often welded with rough beats and tight grooves that - though often slower in pace or cooler
in attitude - borrow much from house, techno / electro from Chicago, Detroit, London. It is meant for
the rare and beautiful beings that soar high, with a keen ear for detail and relevance, like a bird of prey.
Lastly, I'd like to thank Daniele Labbate and Jerrald "Jerry, The Cat" James, for bass on "Coastal Soarings" and
vocals on "Let Me Be", respectively. Also to my friends and colleagues who believed in the music I chose for
this album and had released their first copies on vinyl - Charles & Cici, Kavan & Debbie, Michael Zucker, Brian
Logstrup, Ludovic and Rui Murka. Last but not least my friends at Percebes Música, our shared record label,
and the great Rodrigo "Trol2000" Alves, excellent vinyl seller, DJ, friend who designed the art for the
album.
Thanks for listening
