- One of the main Portuguese DJ's and producers, head of Magna Recordings, now based in Madrid.Carlos Manaça is one of the main Portuguese DJs / Producers and one of the first that reached international recognition. His DJ career started in 1986 in his hometown Barreiro (near Lisbon) and he is one of the pioneers of the Portuguese Dance Scene.

As a ROCK’s Club resident DJ he played with International Artists like Danny Tenaglia, Carl Cox, Armand Van Elden, Laurent Garnier, Jeff Mills, Josh Wink, Dj Sneak, Johnny Vicious, George Morel, Eric Morillo, Underworld (Live), among many others, most of them playing for the first time in Portugal. As a Producer, his name started to be known in 1995 with the worldwide release by TRIBAL AMERICA of his remixes of Oporto’s Dance Act OLN “Oporto Deep Cuts EP”. Later in 1999 creates MAGNA RECORDINGS and in 2001 co-produces Manaca, Chus & Ceballos “The Strong Rhythm”, released on Stereo Productions, and included in several International Dance compilations, like the acclaimed “DEEP DISH Global Underground: MOSCOW”, while topping the Dance Charts all over the Globe. In 2009 “The Strong Rhythm” Remixes by Canadian duo D-Unity out on MAGNA RECORDINGS stayed 4 weeks at #1 on Beatport’s Minimal Top Chart. Based in Madrid since 2002 after finishing an Audio Engineering degree at SAE Institute, his DJ schedule is mostly in Portugal, but he still has time to play regularly in Countries like Japan, Switzerland, Brazil, Luxemburg, Poland, Croatia, Germany, Mexico, Angola, Mozambique, Russia, USA, Canada and Spain, among others.

In 2016 Carlos Manaça celebrated 30 Years as a professional DJ. It was one of his best DJ years ever receiving several awards in Portugal. One of them was a special “30 Years Career Award” by Oporto Radio Nova Era in a sold out show called “Best Of The Year by Radio Nova Era” on April 2nd 2016. In May 2016 Carlos Manaça headlined ROCK IN RIO Lisboa electronic stage with Carl Cox, Octave One (Live) Dj Vibe and Conti & Leozinho (Brazil) an amazing sold out event, one of the best Rock In Rio Lisboa electronic nights so far. Still in 2016 Carlos Manaça was nominated one of the “Best Portuguese DJs” by online dance platform 100%DJ and was also nominated as “Best Tech DJ” by WAV Awards, also in Portugal. Since 2017 has a weekly Magna Recordings Radio Show on one of the biggest Radio Stations in the North of Portugal, Nova Era Radio in Oporto (Portugal), on Fridays (11pm – 12am CET). The English version of the Radio Show is distributed worldwide by British company Syndicast (www.syndicast.co.uk) to around 60 online and FM Radios. More than 30 Years as a professional DJ is an incredible number to reach, but he’s more motivated than ever. He still loves delivering his typical Tech House & Techno tribal influenced grooves to the clubbers every weekend, and feels that still has a lot of Music to bring to the Global Dance Scene.̸ORIGINAL TRACKS Dj Dub – “Is There A God?” – World Music (Portugal) - 1998 Carlos Manaca – “Feel The Drums” – Magna Recordings – 2000 Manaca, Chus & Ceballos – “The Strong Rhythm”– Stereo Productions (Spain) / Moody Rec.
