With most fellow 12 year old Brazilians kicking footballs round bare feet, Carlos Lima aka S.P.Y was already behind the turntables. With his Dad on the mic taking latino requests at fun fairs, young Carlos selected the tunes! Hailing from Sao Paulo, Brazil’s capital of d&b, S.P.Y comes from the same beats classroom as Marky, Patife and Drumagik.

Whilst studying and working in graphic design, Hospital’s very own Zac Vibes booked him for his first night in London, at Camden’s Lock 17 (Dingwalls). New to d&b and creating tunes influenced by techno’s Dave Clarke and more recently Hospital’s own Cambridge 4 anthem “When Pilots Eject”, it only took Carlos six months as a producer before Goldie got on the phone and snapped up his first release for the Metalheadz imprint! “Black Flag” and “Double Dragon” followed soon after, helping launch Hospital’s new Med School imprint and a year later S.P.Y double his Med School tally with dancefloor smasher “Ghost Ship” and dark half-stepper “Silent Sleeper”.

Following the two Med School releases he rapidly carved out a reputation within d&b, S.P.Y was officially hot property! Refusing to sling his tunes all over the place, he stepped in to 2008 slamming out tunes on forward thinking labels such as Advanced, Product and Critical. Keep it locked, there’s plenty more to come from this Brazilian producer.
