Houkes is a DJ and producer from the interior of São Paulo state who has spent nearly a decade building a career in electronic music. His project has grown beyond producing and releasing tracks into a wider vision linking music, image, performances and artistic identity.
Com o Tech House as one of his musical foundations, Houkes argues for developing a signature sound in a scene shaped by fast-moving trends, metrics and pressure to be visible. For him, growth means expanding an identity without losing what makes the project recognisable.
In his NIGHT ISSUE interview, Houkes discusses the changes since 2017, difficult moments in his career, the tension between numbers and creativity, breaking patterns and what comes next.
