Ricardo 'Mazinho' Almeida's portrait.
[i][b]The Old Friend Sylvain Justum 'Gazza' (A.K.A. Acidman), crazy for Depeche Mode, New Order, Inner City, Front 242, Nitzer Ebb, as well as several Acid House & New Beat tunes.
With the fellas (Padawan & Alain_Patrick @ Campari Techno).
He has been lucky enough to witness the early nineties at U.S. Beef Rock under the command of DJ Mau Mau, and after that, Columbia with Mau Mau, Renato Lopes, Gil Barbara, among others with his friends Acidman and Alain_Patrick. Severely influenced by the emergency of House and Techno in the Brazilian scene, 'Mazinho''s dream was to be a regular in the underground clubs such as Samantha Santa and Sra. Krawitz (where he could go at the 1993 Christmas Party @ Paparazzi Station, by the way), but he was too young for that.
His burning desire of having the hottest electronic tunes at home compelled him to buy his first Technics MK2 turntables back in 1992, times when only the well-known clubs could afford such equipment.
In fact, one of his most essential influences occured when he became a regular at Sound Factory club of Pinheiros, whose residents were Deejay Julião and Yes America, with regular guests such as the Jungle Pioneer DJ Marky. Since then, he has been in contact with the highlights of the House, Techno & Breakbeats scene, just like his friends Davi 'Hardcore' at Toco and Sylvain 'Acidman' Justum at Hell's Club.

'Mazinho' worked at the office with ex-Sound Factory owner Oswaldo (currently in charge of Mr. Groove vinyl store), and built his own internet support company in the most recent years.
