"The Ozone" were formed in 1990 while the Portuguese dance scene was still in deep waters.
Four kids, Pedro Vilas Boas (D.Peter J), Eduardo Melo (Dice), João Melo (D-Vice) and Ricardo Vilas Boas (VCF) got together and formed what turned to be the best Trance band in Portugal. They've produced Artists like DJ Vibe, DJ Jiggy, DJ Hands, remixed the same and many other artists and were THE ONLY band in Portugal that played live using the still innovative method of live and real time MIDI/Audio sequencing.
Official biography:
The dance music band "The Ozone" was formed in 1990 while the Portuguese electronic dance music scene was still in deep waters. Their influences came from 80's breakdance, rap/hip-hop, trance, techno, acid, house and ambient genres and also from live-act bands such as KLF, The Orb, NJoi, Altern-8... .
At the time four young pals: Eduardo Melo (Dice), João Melo (D-Vice), Ricardo Dias (VCF) and Pedro Vilas Boas (D.Peter.J), got together and formed what turned to be the best known trance band in Portugal by that time. They've produced several well-known DJs / artists, remixed the same and other promising artists. The Ozone was the only band in Portugal that played live, using the uncommon method of live and real-time MIDI & Audio hardware sequencing (with analogue and digital drum machines and synthesizers, samplers, FX units, a mixer and a computer).
A brutal car accident which caused the death of Eduardo Melo (R.I.P.) and a lack of label support for the release of their first full album in 1995 (despite being tested with great success during their several live-acts, in front of hundreds or thousands of people), led to their walk away from the visible dance scene.
Today, "The Ozone" members are still musically active, as solo or as part of other dance projects and they might return together one of these days, their spirit remains...
