Paulo Boghosian

Segundo o dicionário Houaiss, significa “qualquer meio sistemático de comunicar ideias ou sentimentos através de signos convencionais, sonoros, gráficos, gestuais”. Alguns artistas encontram nas palavras escritas seu meio de expressão mais eficaz. Outros, extrovertidos, usam a língua falada. Há também aqueles que obedecem sua memória visual, e encontram no design ou no modo de se vestir a melhor forma para se comunicar com o mundo. Paulo Boghosian, por sua vez, fala a língua da pura música. Sua percepção sonora é límpida, tornando o som quase tangível em cada uma de suas apresentações: é com uma música intensa, enérgica e destemidamente íntegra, que ele se comunica com o seu público. A pista, por sua vez, responde invariavelmente à altura. Tal sensibilidade é a maior constante de Boghosian. Enquanto o hype faz nascer alguns e sumir outros no trajeto do tempo, ele mantém sua carreira inabalável há 17 anos. Sua linguagem, forte, sofisticada e ao mesmo tempo sensível, é admirada por todas as tribos. Pudera: mestre de sua identidade sonora, ele se comunica, em qualquer club e em qualquer horário da noite, com seu próprio idioma, inconfundível. Sua destreza, porém, não reside apenas em cultivar essa personalidade artística singular. Boghosian sabe como poucos dosar nuances, os altos e baixos que o fazem um DJ apto a capitanear o início, o auge e o fim de uma soirée. Não é à toa que, ao longo de seu percurso, ele foi escolhido, por três vezes, como “Melhor DJ do Brasil” no prêmio da revista Cool Magazine. Seja em suas residências no club Warung e na festa Colours, em suas produções solo lançadas por selos como DFTD (Defected), AIA-D e SUDD ou em remixes para artistas como Marco Resmann, Boghosian mantém-se fiel ao seu senso apurado, propagando ininterruptamente aquilo que faz de melhor: a música pela própria música. ______________ ENG Considered the no.1 DJ in Brazil for three times, 2006 and 2007, and 2009, by Brazilian specialized mag, Cool magazine, in it's annual awards, and with monthly residencies at Brazil's two main underground clubs Warung and D-edge, Paulo Boghosian is one of Brazil's most respected and appreciated house DJs. He began his professional career in 1999, when he won a competition for upcoming DJs. After that, Paulo’s career was a continuous evolution. With refined musical taste, combined with precise mixing skills and dance floor awareness, he earned credentials to play in big parties of the main international labels in their launch in Brazilian territory, being chosen to warm-up for most of the big names that came to Brazil at the time from Deep Dish to Tenaglia. As his career evolved, Boghosian became noted for his quality house music sounds, maintaining a high standard in all his sets. Soon he gained full respect from the underground scene in Brazil. He was invited to play in most if not all the main clubs in Brazil and established himself as resident at Warung and D-Edge, the two main clubs in Brazil featured at Mixmag and DJmag top 50 clubs in the world. As a Warung resident, he was invited to play at Circo Loco (DC-10) in Ibiza and The End (Olmetto night) in London in 2007. His sets had excellent reactions. Boghosian has an international experience that goes from the Americas to Europe. He played in Avalon in Los Angeles, Crobar in Buenos Aires, Space and DC-10 in Ibiza, and the list goes on. He also played at the most well known outdoor festival in the world, Creamfields, in its Brazilian editions, at Skol Beats 2006 and 2007, the biggest electronic music festival in Brazilian territory, where his set was considered one of the highlights. He was also guest at South America Music Conference in Buenos Aires. Boghosian plays quality house music, with influences from deep house, tech house, and even techno since many of his sets are long sets and the artist tries not to get stuck in one specific kind of sound. He pays attention to musicality and quality of the songs he plays, but he is also attentive to what works on the dancefloor. As a producer, Boghosian releases both solo and alongside his partner Andre Torquato. He has productions on labels such as Yoruba Records, Yoruba Soul, Cecille Numbers, CIC Records Natural Rhythm, Warung Records and Raw Cutz Records. His songs have been featured in compilations from Azuli, Defected, Plastic City, and Body Music. His release Balaka (Cecille Numbers 012) reached the number 5 spot of the monthly most charted tunes in Resident Advisor. More recently Boghosian&Torquato released their debut album on Yoruba Records, one of the most respected house labels in the scene. Boghosian’s releases range from deep house to tech house and have been played by DJs such as Loco Dice, Marco Carola, Dubfire, Osunlade, Jimpster, Luciano, Nick Curly, Ame, and the list goes on.
