Massimo DaCosta was born and raised in Mons (Belgium). He was introduced to house music by producers like MAW, Sneak, Todd Terry or Kerri Chandler.

After some years playing in bars and small parties, Brandy gave him a Friday-night residency at one of the most respected club in Belgium: Pure Club. This residency brought him the opportunity to meet and share decks with the top of world’s dj’s such DJ Deep, Osunlade, Gregory, Mateo&Matos, Kenny Hawkes, Jef K, Chateau Flight, Alex Gopher, Llorca or Charles Schillings to name a few.

Since leaving PureSub in November 2003, DaCosta has recently settled back into a new monthly residency at Touché parties in Leuven and he still crafts every week-end his deep and sexy funky house sets in some of the best clubs and parties all over Belgium (Fuse, Pure, Sub, H2o, Silo, Café d’Anvers, Pablo Disco Bar, BlowUp, BarRoom, Lounge, Catacombes, Groove City, …). In 2004, he was proud to join Raoul (Swirl People) and Geoffroy (HiPhen) as third resident dj for the finest weekly Belgian house night : Food. His European gigs brought him through cities like Paris, Lille, Dortmund, Lljublina, Frankfort, Luxembourg, Maastricht, Krakow and Katowice.

When he is not rocking the best Belgian spots, Massimo can be found producing hidden in the Vernon’s Studio. Their partnership started in 2000 and they quickly worked on productions and remixes for several labels like Icon, Robsoul, Flygaric Tracks, Séparé, Tom Bone, Uniform, DIY, Phono Graffiti, Flat & Round and Blockhead. Today their productions are still enthusiastically received, earning praise from dancers, journalists and deejays like Laurent Garnier, Jef K, Raoul (Swirl People), Mazi, David Duriez, Phil Weeks, DJ Sneak or Kenny Hawkes.
