In 2002 I took dj lessons at “TWM dj school” and learnt the basics of djing together with dj Strain and 2 other djs. Our teacher was a famous czech hiphop / downtempo / d’n'b dj Ghonzales. After absolving the lessons I bought several vinyls from him as a starter pack for my future career and together with dj Strain we took some individual hours of playing and we pushed for improvement although our belief was quite different: Santhos – drum and bass vs. Strain – house. Then we split up and I improved myself thanks to the support of M.D.S. Support company (www.mds.xf.cz) and in 2003 played on my very first gig at Inner Circle club in Prague. Suddenly other parties appeared in Prague clubs: Cross, Le Mirage, XT3, Wakata, 7 vlku, Akropolis, Roxy and also out of my home town, in Pardubice or Zdar nad Sazavou.
My goal have always been to acquire more styles than drum and bass. In 2008 my taste for music changed and since then I have been simply buying everythink what I liked. I’ve got now quite decent base base of dubstep, uk garage / uk funky / house, breakbeat / nu:skool breaks and of course (still the largest) drum and bass.
While building my dj career, I have been trying composing electronic music on my private pc. Starting with Dance ejay, quickly shifting to Fruity loops and then changing to Reason I’ve been gaining my composing knowledge. In the beginning I was again trying to compose drum and bass tunes, but then I realized that the scene is not my favourite and now I just do whatever I have on my mind.
You can currently listen to my new music at http://soundcloud.com/santhos.
In addition I know how to play (it is not a huge knowledge, but not worse as well :) several instruments: fipple flute, alt saxophone and bongos.
