Patife, alias Wagner Borges Ribeiro de Souza started out as an entertainer at parties and balls on the outskirts of São Paulo, where he was born. Since his early teens he's played everything from samba and axé to italo-house. His first contact with drum 'n' bass was in 1993, through a friend, DJ Marky, who, at the time, was working as a sales assistant at a record shop where Patife bought vinyl records of hardcore techno. Patife decided to invest his money on the new sound, which he regarded as an evolution from hardcore, and started including records of the kind here and there among the music he played as DJ at the Arena Music Hall, in Interlagos. In 1997, on a trip to Europe with DJ Marky, he accompanied one of the top performers of the genre and local lad done good Roni Size, in the award-giving ceremony of the Mercury Prize.
