Working in audio production since 1993, his career developed on the emerging trance, house and techno scene in the beginning of the nineties.
Influenced by his father's eclectic taste in music, from Jazz, classic to experimental, guitar playing and audio equipment collector , rapidly the urge for music production emerged, and after concluding his sound degree, in Etic School for communications in Lisbon, started with music composition and audio manipulation, presenting his first progressive trance act back in 1998.
After releasing several tracks, on labels like, Neurobiotic rec., Flow rec., Nanobeat rec. Millennium rec., Solarsiv rec., Progressive grooves, or JER Rec., or Liquid Records an artist album was released on Flow rec. in 2003 as Faktor-D minimal trance side project, giving the change to tour from, New York (USA), to Cancun (Mexico), Zurich (Switzerland), Valencia (Spain), Split (Croatia), and pretty much everywhere in Portugal.
Besides his dance music passion, he developed early a taste for downtempo, experimental and dub music, witch came to life by his project Cooltour, along with Pedro Caetano on the vocals, soon to be released on Dubkraft rec.
Along with his D-tector and Cooltour, projects another one is emerging in a more electro, techno approach by the name of Red Slack, with DJ/producer Miguel Santos, recently released on Progressive grooves, and JER recordings.
After moving from center Lisbon to the peaceful village of Sintra, in 2005 the dream of building his own studio came true, and is now 100% on music production, as well as sound designing, and commercial audio production activities.

Strange
D-tector Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Growling from deep within
Carving internal thunder
Oh a craving that wears me thin
Well, it's hard to ingest
So many faces
I get my fill but still
Leave me empty on a diet of strange places
It all should enhance my senses
Tell me why
Does the spice of loneliness
Seem all but tasteless
And lingers there
To haunt me from inside
And leaves me
Starving, I've got this hunger
Growling from deep within
Carving internal thunder
Oh a craving that wears me thin
Many a trap
Are set and baited
From tension of temptation of the game
But ones who are fed
Are those who waited
Takes feminine wile
Leaves it curbed and tame
Only time'll find me home
And safely set
But until that time I remain
Starving, I've got this hunger
Growling from deep within
Carving internal thunder
Oh a craving that wears me thin
Oh a craving that wears me thin
In this song, D-tector describes the feeling of being emotionally and mentally hungry. He paints a picture of a deep internal craving and growling hunger that wears him thin from the inside. He speaks to the difficulty of finding sustenance among the multitude of people he encounters in life, and even though he may get his fill from passing faces, they still leave him feeling empty and unfulfilled.
The spice of loneliness is juxtaposed with the tastelessness of strange places, creating a sense of deep longing for connection and intimacy that seems to elude D-tector. He speaks of the traps and temptations that are set for him, but ultimately he knows that the ones who are fed are those who wait patiently for the right opportunity. He looks to the future with hope and longing for the day when he will find his home and feel safe and secure, but until then he remains starving and hungry.
The song is a powerful portrayal of the human condition, and speaks to the deep desire for connection and love that lies at the core of each of us. D-tector's emotive vocals and powerful lyrics create a sense of intensity and raw emotion that is both moving and inspiring to listen to.
Line by Line Meaning
Starving, I've got this hunger
I feel a deep emptiness inside me
Growling from deep within
This emptiness is a constant presence that I can't ignore
Carving internal thunder
This emptiness feels like thunder rumbling inside my body
Oh a craving that wears me thin
This emptiness is exhausting and drains me of energy
Well, it's hard to ingest
I find it difficult to connect with others on a deeper level
So many faces
I encounter many people, but none of them seem to fulfill my needs
I get my fill but still
I try to satisfy my hunger, but nothing seems to work
Those passersby
Even though I meet many people, they are just passing through my life
Leave me empty on a diet of strange places
These encounters leave me feeling even more empty and unfulfilled
It all should enhance my senses
I thought these experiences would make me feel more alive and connected to the world
Tell me why
I'm struggling to understand why I still feel so empty
Does the spice of loneliness
Although I am surrounded by people, I still feel lonely inside
Seem all but tasteless
This loneliness is becoming a familiar and dull sensation
And lingers there
This loneliness stays with me even after these encounters end
To haunt me from inside
This loneliness is a ghost that haunts me from within
Many a trap
I encounter many temptations and distractions
Are set and baited
People try to lure me into their own worlds
From tension of temptation of the game
There is an underlying tension and pressure to conform to these social games
But ones who are fed
Those who are satisfied with their lives
Are those who waited
Are the ones who were patient and knew what they were looking for
Takes feminine wile
It takes a certain level of intuition and strategy to find what I need
Leaves it curbed and tame
I need to control my impulses and desires to achieve this satisfaction
Only time'll find me home
I know that I will eventually find what I am looking for, but it will take time
And safely set
Once I find what I need, I will feel secure and content
But until that time I remain
Until then, I will continue to feel this emptiness and hunger inside me
Oh a craving that wears me thin
This emptiness and hunger is constantly draining me of energy and motivation

Yeah I was 10yrs old when season 1 came out. I totally remember. I’m 32 now and still love the series, the nostalgia is strong

Just found one at Value Village for 2.99. I was actually looking for tamagotchi's, it's more of my hobby but I collect other v-pet digital devices. This little guy turned right on and knew I couldn't leave him there even though I knew nothing about digimon. He's a bit scuffed but just like yours in the video, I'll probably put some work into repairing the body but still, it's neat to find. I used your video as an introduction and the code on the card :D.

It's a good video. But I think the intro is muted
