Seres Produções facts for kids

Seres Produções is a music company from Angola and Portugal. It was started in November 2000 by DJ Satelite. The company specializes in Afro House music and other kinds of African electronic music. It began when DJ Satelite and his brother, DJ Vamburgue, were curious about how their older sister's group made music.

How Seres Produções Started

Seres Produções began in 2000. DJ Satelite and his brother, DJ Vamburgue, were inspired by their older sister's music group. They started making Kuduro music beats and invited friends to sing on them. Their friend Absinto, also known as Gelmiro Pireza, joined them. Today, he handles all the design work for the company.

By 2002, they became well-known in their neighborhood, Bairro Marçal, in Luanda, Angola. They worked with many local artists.

Early Success in Kuduro

Between 2004 and 2005, Seres Produções helped create many popular Kuduro songs. These songs marked a new time for Kuduro music. Some of these hits included "Comboio" by Lambas, "Esqueleto" by DJ Marcelo, and "Se Desfio" by DJ Satelite. Other popular songs were "Dança Killa" and "Na Palma da Mão."

These songs were part of the first album by Lambas, called "Staff of Ku-Duro." In 2006, this album sold 10,000 physical CDs in just six hours! This was the first album in Angola to sell so many copies so quickly.

After this success, in 2006, DJ Satelite, Bruno M, and DJ Vamburgue produced another album called "Batida Única." This album showed off a new style of Kuduro music. The three worked together to create a very energetic and successful album.

Moving to Afro House

After many years in Kuduro, DJ Satelite decided to explore new music styles in 2008. He wanted to find a new direction for his company, Seres Produções. He decided to shift from Kuduro to Afro House music. In 2012, he released his first Afro House project.

As the company grew, new artists joined. In 2014, Seres Produções started sharing its music digitally. They began distributing their songs on various online music stores and streaming platforms around the world.

The company's presence in Afro House music became very successful, just like it had been with Kuduro. In 2016, new team members joined to help the company grow even more in the world of African Electronic Music.

Key Team Members

Some important people who joined the team include:

• DANYKAS DJ: He started by helping with small tasks. Now, he is the label's manager, a DJ, and a producer.
• Rosario from the Mbambu Records group: He regularly releases music with Seres Produções.
• Other DJs and producers: Over12, Inami, Afro Pupo, Wilson Kentura, Drunky Daniels, Dj Lesh SA, K.O.D, and Bun Xapa. They have all played a big part in the company's growth.

In 2016, the company put together an album called "Muloje." This album became very popular in Angola. It was even featured in magazines like Okayafrica and BANTUMEN (a magazine based in Portugal).

In 2018, Seres Produções released an EP (a short album) by Oscar P and FNX Omar. One of their songs stayed in the top ten Afro House charts for several months on popular music sites like Traxsource and Beatport. By the end of 2018, the song was ranked 27th on the Traxsource Afro House chart. It was also featured on the "House Nation IBIZA 2018 Album."

Room System now has a regular spot in Lisbon. It has attracted many famous artists, including Hyenah, DANYKAS DJ, Boddhi Satva, DJ Johnny, and Mbambu.
