Rui Da Silva

website / press kit / book artist

Rui Da Silva, has long been recognized as one of Portugal’s most precious exports, initiating his industry onslaught in the early 90’s when he formed Portugal’s first dance music label, Kaos Records. Rui’s innovative and quality sounds elevated Kaos to the pinnacle of the house movement, while securing him a licensing to the late Tribal Records and more recently to Twisted Records. Rui’s success with Kaos ensured global exposure and provided him with the confidence to develop the Underground Sound of Lisbon with close friend, DJ Vibe. Through USL’s underground classics, including So Get Up, Dance With Me, and Are You Looking For Me, in addition to numerous compilations and remix’s, Rui filled a void in a country better known for its port and sandy beaches. In 1999 Rui left Portugal to immerse himself in London’s booming music industry. In London he quickly established a considerable following and a high level of exposure, ultimately enabling him to set up a new label, Kismet Records which quickly garnered praise from the notoriously competitive dance industry, securing Rui a deal with Arista and a spot in DJ booths from Bristol to Buenos Aires. Gaining support from industry icons, including Danny Tenaglia, Sasha and John Digweed, Kismet’s success was further fuelled with their fourth release, Touch Me, shooting up the UK charts to Number One. Paul Oakenfold played Touch Me five times in one sitting at Pacha, while test pressings were caned by Deep Dish, Steve Lawler, and self confessed Kismet fan, Danny Tenaglia. The single quickly turned into that year’s dance anthem. The soulful vocal, trance chords, and deep house groove of Touch Me earned Rui an award for Best Single in Muzik Magazine Dance Awards 2001, as well as a nomination for Best Break Through Artist at that year’s Dance Star Awards. Rui has achieved fame as a remixer, creating his own versions of Jennifer Lopez’s “Play”, Lighthouse Family’s “Happy” and Yoko Ono’s “Walking On Thin Ice”.
