It was the early 90s when Rafael Rodrigues began researching in bookstores and vinyl stores the material compiled in cassete tapes for sessions and skate championships taking place in the city of Novo Hamburgo, where he resided at the time. In the late 90's, in Porto Alegre, he starts to join the city's underground scene and begins to make some inroads as a selector at parties of friends. Later in the 2000s, he becomes a sought sound mixer for short and long films, when he made his career. In 2012, under the name of CoraZonDeLLoco, he gathers around a few friends and local artists to create BATO that realises itinerant parties in Brazil, rescuing the culture of sound system parties. He appreciates sub bass.
