Los Angeles, USA based Canadian Producer, DJ, and label founder of Heist Mode, one of North America’s finest next generation techno imprints.
For years Barbosa has been refining his experimental sound, which seamlessly blurs the lines between raw-hypnotic and tough stripped back techno in a fashion that has earned him support from a wide range of high caliber artists including Richie Hawtin, Marcel Dettmann, Ben Klock, DVS1, Luke Slater, Speedy J and many other techno heavyweights. His DJ sets, much like his productions, are fast-paced and minimal, while consistently pushing sonic boundaries and taking audiences on a relentless journey to the outer limits of musical potentiality.
With the foundation of his label ‘Heist Mode’ in 2020, Barbosa has quickly proven himself one of the leading tastemakers in the North American techno circuit, creating a platform to showcase music from both young neophytes and seasoned veterans of the scene. On the production side, Barbosa’s releases on present genre defining labels Hayes Collective, BCCO, SYXT, PRTL WRX, and other contemporary outlets proves him a multi-faceted talent and force, with plays weekly at top venues Berghain, Bassiani, Fabric, Fold, Radion, Tresor, as well as many other top techno clubs internationally.
Now, with a new year fast approaching, Barbosa continues to traverse into territories unknown, a journey that will certainly culminate in his being recognized as a phenom in the underground space for years to come.
