Vernon & DaCosta
LMD004 - Roseroice - Puffyman (Vernon & DaCosta Remix)
Vernon Bara and Massimo DaCosta are a fresh new breeze in the deep house scene. Their musical influences are wide and varied in both time and space, the guys say “no frontiers, no rules, only good taste and pleasures! Their mix of hi-tech computer knowledge and ingrained musical culture results in a house sound that can be described as soulful, deep, techy and funky all at the same time.
Their collaboration started in 2001 under on Belgium's Foreplay Recordings, a label based in their home region, with a remix of Hideo Kobayashi's "Possibility of love" EP which also contained remixes by Osunlade and Lars van Berenroth. The result consisted on a deeply imaginative smooth track and turned many discerning heads.
This first release has since been followed up of recent years by EPs and remixes on the most respected house labels such as Robsoul, Icon, So Sound, Uni.form, Sensei, Séparé, Tom Bone, Flygaric Tracks, Phono Graffiti and Flat & Round. T heir productions are enthusiastically received, earning praise from dancers, journalists and DJs like Laurent Garnier, Jef K, Raoul (Swirl People), Mazi, David Duriez, Phil Weeks, DJ Sneak, Kenny Hawkes and Olivier Desmet.
The duo are also involved in DJing and promoting parties. Since 2004 Massimo has was proud to join Raoul (Swirl People) and Geoffroy (Hi-Phen) as the newest weekly resident DJ at Belgian finest house night “Food”.
