Born in Mozambique in 1973 and raised in Luxembourg, Fernandes Carlos, better known as CHICH, is a prominent DJ and producer in the electronic music scene with a career spanning several decades.
CHICH's early exposure to electronic music started a lifelong passion influenced by iconic bands like Depeche Mode, Kraftwerk, Front 242, and U2, along with the Detroit minimal-techno movement of the 1980s. His innovative approach led to him being one of the first to introduce this style to Luxembourg.
Since 1989, CHICH has played a pivotal role in shaping Luxembourg's music scene through his pioneering events and performances. Starting as a local DJ, his distinctive sound quickly gained international recognition, leading to performances across the globe.
Renowned not only for his DJ skills but also for his production prowess, CHICH has released tracks both solo and in collaboration with esteemed artists such as Danny Casseau, Vic Miranda, DJ Tuttle, and A.Paul on labels like Naked Lunch, Ekho Port, TK Records, and Subsounds. His entrepreneurial spirit led him to co-found Black Pitch Music with Danny Casseau and, more recently, Modulhertz with DJ Tuttle.
In 2013, CHICH joined forces with Naked Lunch, a renowned techno label, following an invite from its founder A.Paul. Apart from being a resident DJ at Naked Lunch label nights, he played a significant role in artist management and event organization.
In 2020, CHICH embarked on a new chapter in his career by establishing the Ground Club, Luxembourg's premier 100% electronic music venue. With a commitment to pushing boundaries and exploring new frontiers in the electronic music realm, CHICH and his team are dedicated to keeping the underground music scene vibrant and progressive.
Looking ahead to 2024, CHICH remains steadfast in his mission to champion techno and support emerging talent, ensuring that the underground electronic music culture thrives.
