Renato Cohen Artist Bio

Renato Cohen is without doubt one of Brazil’s most high profile techno producers and DJs. Though he’s been an established name on the Brazilian club circuit for years and has released numerous ground breaking records, Renato deservedly hit the international spotlight in 2002 with the enormous ‘Pontape’, which was rapidly signed up by Intec. A record that refuses to stop, it continues to sell around the world to this day.

Renato’s original take on techno has always had it’s own flavour and today more then ever it’s a sound sought after by international DJs like Laurent Garnier, Technasia, DJ C1, Dave Clarke , Funk D’Void and Carl Cox to name a few. At a time when Brazil is establishing itself as a leading global dance music market, Renato is firmly part of a selected group of Brazilian producers.

Renato Cohen was born in S㯠Paulo, Brazil in 1974 and he has been producing since 1996. With no peer group to learn from in Sao Paulo, Renato has created his own unique sound through hard work and a love for studio equipment. His background as a drummer has been instrumental in his ability to create infectious rhythms within his music.

He has recently released on such fine labels as Sino and Noise Music and is already working on further releases for Intec.
