Novas fronteiras, novos espaços: são esses os objetivos que têm desafiado o DJ Fernando Ribeiro. Trabalhando com downtempo e house, seus sets conquistam um público selecionado, atento a sons mais elaborados e mixagens cheias de classe. Fernando teve sua estréia nas pickups em 1998, tocando indie pop e 80’s como residente do bar Toscos. Em 2002, passou por uma transição entre estilos musicais, chegando ao downtempo e finalmente à house music.
Nesse mesmo ano, mostrando seu lado eclético, criou com o DJ AC o projeto Alternate DJs, que visitou diversos bares e firmou o nome de vários disk joqueys na cena local em noites que misturavam estilos. Como residente do projeto, Fernando apurou o trato musical, dominou a técnica e solidificou seu caminho: as batidas mais lentas, o downtempo, a deep house e a house music.
Fernando já se apresentou em clubes como Liqüe, Taboo Ronin, Dot Bar, Marocco, Nico, Stereo Pub, Amatulah e Beats Club, em Curitiba; Disco Internacional em Foz do Iguaçu, Deseo Lounge Cousine em Camboriú, Jive e 8 Bar em São Paulo. Discotecou com nomes de expressão nacional como Raul Aguilera, Aninha, Rafael Araújo, DJ Ban Ban e Ivan Scárparo, do Paraná; Mau Mau, Luiz Pareto, Reano DeVitto, Edground, Wagner J e Wander A de São Paulo; Robinho, de Minas Gerais e Oliver Jack, da Bahia. Em 2005 participou de Grooveland Party, a convite do DJ e jornalista Edground, dividindo decks com nomes mundiais do house como Victor Simonelli (NY) e Charles Spencer (São Francisco).
Desde então tornou-se residente da festa Discofreaks Deluxe, em Foz do Iguaçu, da Nice House e da Bomb The Basement (Ctba), das quais também é promoter. Tocou no nordeste do país, participou do Chemical Music Festival e abriu em Curitiba a OM Records Brazil Tour, evento inédito no Brasil, em que tocou com Johnny Fiasco (Chicago), Fred Everything (Canadá) e a inauguração do club Jive Amatulah com a festa do Club Shelter (NY) tendo o DJ Ben Johnson como convidado. Fez lounge para a Fundação Cultural de Curitiba, abertura do famoso Festival de Teatro da cidade e o lançamento da revista ETC, além de feiras que abriram as portas para apresentações na Europa. Recentemente participou do Festival MADA 2007 - Música Alimento da Alma - em Natal/RN, sendo um dos destaques da tenda Tim Stage.
Em 2005, Fernando passou a fazer o programa de rádio Periférico, transmitido ao vivo às quartas-feiras pela webradio alemã Loud FM (http://www.loud-fm.com), das 19 às 21 horas. Em dezembro do mesmo ano o Alternate DJs começou a ser apresentado no Groovechannel (http://www.groovechannel.com.br), primeira webTV brasileira voltada especificamente para a música eletrônica, às segundas-feiras, 20 horas.
Seu ecletismo guarda referências das bandas que participou, de tudo o que escuta – música eletrônica ou não -, e dos DJs que tem como referência, como Ian Pooley e Dimitri From Paris. A busca pelos sons novos, as releituras, os vocais, a presença constante do baixo e as variações nas batidas são característica do DJ que, além da música, dedica-se também às artes plásticas e às performances.
Por ser mais elaborado, mais que para dançar, o som que Fernando produz é para se ouvir. Por isso sua presença é muito solicitada em lounges modernos, ambientes descolados e festas que fogem ao padrão bate-estaca da música eletrônica massificada.
DJs com quem já tocou: Ben Johnson (Club Shelter/NY), Johnny Fiasco (Chicago), Victor Simonelli (NY), Charles Spencer (São Francisco), Fred Everything (Canadá), Mike Parsons (UK), Paul Mac (UK), Reano DeVitto (SP), Pabliano (BA), Oliver Jack (BA), DJ Ban Ban (PR), Bamboo Kumbá Live PA.

(SP), Jac Junior (SP), Ivan Scarparo (PR), Wagner J e Wander A (SP).

Fernando Ribeiro: a DJ who wants to conquer his own place
New frontiers, new spaces: Those goals challenge DJ Fernando Ribeiro. Playing downtempo and house, his sets conquer a selected audience, who looks for elaborated sounds and classfull mixes. Fernando had his debut on the turntables in 1998, playing indie pop and 80’s music as Tosco bar’s resident DJ. In 2002 he moved through several music styles, landing on Downtempo and finally on House music.
That same year, he formed the Alternate DJs Project with DJ AC. The Alternate Djs Project performed at many different clubs and introduced many DJs into the local scene with multi-style nights. As the Project’s resident DJ, Fernando fine-tuned his musical sense paving a path with his well-honed technique encompassing Downtempo, House and Deep House.
Fernando has already performed in clubs like Liqüe, Taboo, Nico, Stereo Pub, Amatulah e Beats Club, in Curitiba; Disco Internacional in Foz do Iguaçu, Deseo Lounge Cousine in Camboriú and Jive in São Paulo. He has played with nationally known names such as Raul Aguilera, Aninha, Rafael Araújo, DJ Ban Ban and Ivan Scárparo, from Paraná; Mau Mau, Luiz Pareto, Reano DeVitto, Edground, Wagner J and Wander A, from São Paulo; Robinho, from Minas Gerais and Oliver Jack, from Bahia. In 2005, Fernando spun at a Grooveland Party on invitation by DJ and journalist Edground. He shared decks with house world class DJ Victor Simonelli (NY) and Charles Spencer (San Francisco).
Since then he has become a resident DJ on Discofreaks Deluxe Party, in Foz do Iguaçu, on Nice House, Bangaloo and Bomb the Basement (Curitiba). The last two parties as a promoter. He has played in northwestern Brazil, at the Chemical Music Festival and opened the first OM Records Brazil Tour in Curitiba where he played with Johnny Fiasco (Chicago).
He played lounge style at Fundação Cultural de Curitiba, at the opening of the famous Festival de Teatro in Curitiba and the release party for the magazine ETC, as well as other conventions that opened the doors to gigs in Europe.
In 2005, Fernando started the radio show Periférico, broadcasted live every Wednesday by the German webradio Loud FM (http://www.loud-fm.com), from 7pm. to 9pm. In December of the same year, the Alternate DJs Project started to be presented at the Groovechannel (http://www.groovechannel.com.br), first Brazilian webTV for electronic music, on Mondays, 8pm.
His eclectic style is influenced by the bands he has played with, the music he listens to – electronic or not – and from the DJs he likes the most like Ian Pooley and Dimitri From Paris. His search for new sounds, different views, vocals, and beat variations are Fernando’s domain. Besides music, he also works with arts and performances.
Because of its richness the music that Fernando makes is to be listened to as well as danced to. That is why people look for him to play in modern lounges and cool parties that escape from the clichés of the mass-media electronic music.
DJs Fernando has already played: Ben Johnson (Club Shelter/NY), Johnny Fiasco (Chicago), Victor Simonelli (NY), Charles Spencer (San Francisco), Fred Everything (Canadá), Mike Parsons (UK), Paul Mac (UK), Reano DeVitto (SP), Pabliano (BA), Oliver Jack (BA), DJ Ban Ban (PR), Bamboo Kumbá Live PA. (PR), Marky (SP), Mau Mau (SP), Raul Aguilera (PR), Fabricio Peçanha (RS), Aninha (SC), Rafael Araújo (PR), Edground (Grooveland – SP), Robinho (MG), Techjun (SP), Gustavo Peluzo (MG), Ana Flávia (SP), Alex S.
