A native of Mons, Belgium, Massimo DaCosta fell in love with the sound of underground house that was coming out of Chicago and New York and began spinning at the age of 17. After some years playing in bars and small parties around Brussels, his friend Brandy, a DJ, producer, and manager of some of Belgium’s top nightclubs, helped him land a Friday-night residency at one of the most respected clubs in Belgium, Pure Club. This residency brought him the opportunity to meet and share decks with some of the world’s top DJ’s such as DJ Deep, Bob Sinclar, Osunlade, Gregory, Mateo & Matos, Kenny Hawkes, Jef K, Chateau Flight, Alex Gopher, Llorca, Jesse Rose, and Charles Webster to name a few. Since leaving Pure in November 2003, Massimo has settled into a new monthly residency at Touché in Leuven and still crafts his deep, sexy, and funky house sets every week-end in some of the best clubs and parties in Belgium. He has played at Fuse, Pure, Sub, H2o, Silo, Café d’Anvers, Decadance, Pablo Disco Bar, BlowUp, BarRoom, Lounge, Catacombes, and Groove City. In 2004, he was proud to join Raoul (Swirl People) and Geoffroy (HiPhen) as the third resident DJ for Food, the finest weekly house night in Belgium. Massimo’s international gigs have taken him to some of the most respected clubs in London, Barcelona, Paris, Prague, Oslo, Belgrade, Berlin, Amsterdam, Poznan, Montreal, Quebec, New York, LA, San Francisco, Chicago, and Miami. When he is not rocking the best Belgian clubs, Massimo can be found producing in Vernon Baras studio. Since joining forces with Vernon in 2000, the acclaimed duo has since worked on productions and remixes for OM Records, Yellow Productions, Aroma, Icon, Robsoul, Kolour, Soulstar, Amenti, OFF, AMA, Lowdown, Doubledown, OAE, Flygaric Tracks, Séparé, Tom Bone, Uniform, DIY, Phono Graffiti, Flat & Round, and Blockhead. Today, Massimo and Vernon’s productions earn praise from dancers, music journalists, and top International deejays like Laurent Garnier, Jef K, Raoul (Swirl People), Mazi, David Duriez, Jason Hodges, DJulz, Phil Weeks, DJ Sneak, Kenny Hawkes and Chicago’s own Derrick Carter.
