Since first hearing the bass-heavy sounds of local producers during extended trips through Latin America in 2004, Vamanos has been captivated by the progressive urban dance music of the southern hemisphere. Returning to his native London, he began writing Ghetto Bassquake which quickly became a critically acclaimed online destination for the hottest underground sounds from around the world, focussed especially on Latin America, Africa and the Caribbean. Vamanos brings these sounds to his explosive DJ sets at Radioclit's much loved monthly Secousse club in London where he is a resident DJ, promoter and member of the Secousse Sound System. He has also had a lot of fun playing solo dates around the world in places such as New York, Belgium, Geneva, Paris, Berlin, Stockholm, Lowlands Festival Netherlands, Bestival and a recent Ghetto Bassquake Sound System show at SXSW 2011 in Austin Texas with Chief Boima. In 2010 Vamanos launched the Ghetto Bassquake record label to release music and promote artists on an international level. In his day job, he is a film music supervisor.
