Deep Cliffs Weekender 2019/2022/2023 João Tenreiro

João Tenreiro ( Porto, Portugal)

I started collecting records for about 8 years now. At first i was mainly into late 80s and early 90s house music from Chicago, New Jersey and Detroit where i played weekly in big clubs in Portugal. My obsession to dig deeper then led me to world music of all sorts from a lot of Latin and African countries ( Nigeria mainly ). At this time i had two monthly nights where i played all this stuff across the board in Lisbon and Porto. For the past two years my passion for soul music grew much bigger and since then i have been buying and collecting mainly sweet, crossover and modern soul. I currently have a monthly night at Cafe Au Lait (Porto) where i have been spinning all my soul 45s with an occasional event in other places. Since i was a very young kid i learned to appreciate soul music because of my dad. He has been collecting records for a long time now and had these compilations he did for a monthly night of his (Dancin Days) which i used to listen daily on repeat mode. Never would i imagine after 15 years i would be doing the same.
