Artist-Group Djzleite Real name José Leite Born September 5 1968, Portugal- Porto. Started Breakin in 83, doing some mixing experiencies, colecting electro vinyl. When Commodore Amiga 500 came out started to use it for sampling and sequencing, great machine for that time. Now using madtracker to produce my own beats. Some essential sites: www.electroalliance.net and www.electroempire.com In december 2003 got my first track pressed on vinyl compilation "Casino Suicide" RR03, thanks to Roulette Rekordz from Brussels Belgium, Poladroid & Ikko made it possible. http://www.poladroid.be.tf/ http://www.rouletterekordz.net/ >>> Casino Suicide / Roulette Rekordz Various Artists from the Belgium-based label 'Roulette Rekordz'. This 3rd EP is a worldwide compilation including MANASYt (USA), Noir Fluo (FRANCE), Nathan Vance (Belgium), Restless legs syndrome (Belgium), Klement (France) & DjZleite (Portugal). From old school elektrofunk till raw & dark electro. A 'must have' ! More bytes on Muzike.be

Only at home.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Music industry will have to compete with indie artists because they´r producing free and top quality tracks, they can reach every part of erath fast and easy so why bothering buying crap ?
Indie artists are the future of music.
Bye big labels ...

Band History:
V.A casino suicide (roulette RR03) Roulette poursuit la visite guidée de ce que la nouvelle génération d'electro-freaks est capable de faire. Ici en Belgique ou ailleurs. Comme Manasyt (Bulgare expatrié aux USA) qui donne de nouvelles impulsions au genre, par l'usage de sons virevoltants soutenus par une basse bondissante. DJ Zleite multiplie les pulsations et nous enjoint à 'se préparer pour la bataille' sur fond d'alarmes electroïdes, vocoders et scratch. Natan Vance donne lui aussi le tournis en greffant des sonorités à la 'Basic Channel' et des nappes mélancoliques. Puis fait exploser le morceau dans un rythme plus soutenu additionné de tonalités électrifiantes. Danseurs(euses), attention aux spasmes incontrôlables! Restless Legs Syndrome calme le jeu par une production downtempo, où un hurluberlu tente de s'exprimer. Klement nous dit 'F*** You' et Noirfluo dessine de l'electro-pop. 'Casino Suicide' est une bonne compil electro sur le mode 'dark' et 'dansant', un peu à l'image de ce qui se joue dans les soirées underground de la capitale. http://www.surrealsound.net/chroniques/v_001.html#v23
