A versatile MC who flows lyrics to a range of music genres, from breakbeat to jungle to dubstep, R-Vee started his musical career at friends’ parties and local pubs and soon, as his reputation grew through word of mouth, was invited to perform on pirate radio stations. From ‘02–03, he took his passion one step further and won respectable battle of the MCs competitions and was voted as the best, up-and-coming MC by his peers on the Drum & Bass Arena website.
By the time he had been performing for three years, R-Vee had played sets at Desire, One National and Scala alongside heavyweight DJs like Grooverider and Pendulum. An already established underground MC, R-Vee moved to Barcelona in ‘05 with no local contacts. A risk for someone who had made a name for himself outside of Spain, R-Vee soon became a celebrity here in his own right, playing some of the biggest parties around, including Innovation in the Sun and Spain’s biggest rave, the Monegros Desert Festival.
Now six years on, not content as just a headliner, he is a founding member of the group Drumanberoz and one half of UPBEATZ DNB promotions. Drumanberoz have produced a mixture of genres and played sold-out gigs across Europe. UPBEATZ is his musical love child together with Portuguese DJ Ana Benvinda. Between them they have conquered half the globe, from Brazil to Ibiza. Already two of the biggest names on the Barcelona DnB scene, they now collaborate in a night of organized chaos every Thursday at Barcelona’s Plataforma nightclub.
Plataforma. C/ Nou de la Rambla, 145 (Poble Sec).
