Stellar Music 48 : JEZ PEREIRA (London)

Jez Pereira began as a teenager in the nineties spinning in Mumbai, then known as Bombay at Illusions, the club that became the birth place of Pereira's freestyle sound. 

Now, with at living headquarters in Streatham in South London, Pereira always knew working in a coffee shop was acceptable for actors, however, this wasn't quite his cup of tea. He continued to perfect his sound, whilst continuing to be recognized amongst the elite in his musical field. Inevitably Pereira's sound would be captured and claimed via large credible corporate events and then residencies swiftly followed. The infamous Kaleidoscope on Push FM finally got the man on radio as Pereira, continued to build on his musical path and push his own boundaries. 

Eventually he got to play at legendary venues - The Cross, KOKO'S, Heaven , Turnmills and of course Ministry Of Sound. Pereira was never overwhelmed when playing to large crowds and organizations or sharing the stage with superstar DJs. In many ways, that's what made him feel so comfortable - he was in his element and that's what got him respected by the superior producers. 

Pereira was a part of Paul Van Dyk’s 2008 album Launch night at London's Koko club, and quickly got recognized as a future name in the business, he was later involved in events at Heaven, working at the Bedrock label with John Digweed. It was there that he managed to rub shoulders with Norwegian's finest musical export, Eric Prydz

Pereira's name is conventionally connected to significant momentous occasions, London Fashion Week… Eivissa opening parties….. Innovative, energetic, invigorating, uplifting and refreshing start to any contemporary cutting edge event is what Pereira precision concise & precise sound brings…. During 2008, Pereira began what would become an unending run of successful collaborations, working with Vee Dale M.

Currently, Pereira is focused on his home residencies, although he has just returned from Goa, where he played for a festival "Sunburn" headlined by Defected and Eddie Halliwell. He is also working with Submerge, which is run by co-founders Nikhil Chinniappa and DJ Pearl. 

Although not in India for long, he managed to hit the morning headlines over there for his memorable set and crowd connection. Whatever route Pereira follows, his musical values and continued commitment to excellence will be music to everyone’s ears.
