Jepe
From the vibrant shores of Portugal to the pulsating heart of Berlin, Jepe, born João Silva, has carved out a unique and captivating presence in the global electronic music scene. Known for his sleek DJ sets and cutting-edge productions, Jepe is a name that resonates with both industry veterans and new generations of electronic music enthusiasts.
Jepe's musical journey began in Aveiro, a coastal town near Porto, where he was drawn to the rhythmic energy of the ocean. His passion for music ignited early, leading him to his first radio show at just 16, and by 19, he was already commanding the decks at one of the biggest clubs in his hometown. His early rise to prominence foreshadowed the impactful career that was to come.
As one half of the celebrated duo Johnwaynes, Jepe made waves with releases on prestigious labels like Mulemusiq, Compost Records, Get Physical, and Cecille. The duo's innovative approach left an indelible mark on the scene, but in 2013, Jepe embarked on a solo path, a decision that has since catapulted him to new heights.
