Jiggy

It was the year 1992 when Ricardo Marques, a DJ from a bar in Costa da Caparica, went out to celebrate a friend’s birthday at Alcântara-Mar in Lisbon, and the owner jokingly tells him to play music. A little joke that resulted, a week later, in the artist’s residence in Alcântara-Mar. Three years later, he became the resident of KREMLIN, and Ricardo - to his friends - gave way to Jiggy, one of the most respected and consistent DJs in the history of House and Techno in Portugal. He was the first Portuguese to play at the Love Parade in Berlin and traveled the world from Germany to Japan and from Canada to Spain.

Carl Cox even confessed to the English magazine Jockey Slut that he considered Jiggy one of the best in the world. His visionary "Domestic Sounds" is one of the first Portuguese documents to announce the future hegemony of minimalist techno in the global underground of the mid-2000s, making him one of the architects of the first Portuguese Rave wave.
