Diaz Brothers

Lu Diaz and Hugo Diaz are brothers who form the Diaz Brothers music production team based out of Miami, Florida. Although they feel they are not limited to one type of music, their primary focus is on Hip-Hop, and are most famous for bringing the Cuban rapper Pitbull to fame. They began their careers when Lu took to producing Miami Bass and Freestyle records in the late 1980s, which remain somewhat obscure today.

Hugo Diaz and Lu Diaz and were Born in Santiago, Chile, moving to South Florida in 1976 when Hugo was three years of age, and Lu was eight. Lu began his music career by playing drums in local rock bands like New Impact" & "Paradise Alley. After Lu's departure fromNew Impact the band changed their name to The Goods and were later produced by the legendary Tom Dowd. By 1982, Lu had taken an interest in Hip-Hop aside from being rooted in the Rock music of the day. After his longtime friend LIL Danny B brought over his freshly bought drum machine, a Roland TR-505 in the mid-1980s, he became hooked on Hip-Hop production.

Lu began taking note that the mainstream success of Freestyle was coming to an end in late 1990 due to the dominance of the new breed of House music coming from NYC and Italy. There was also a brief fling that major labels had with Miami Bass in 1989, but by 1990, all the majors had left town, leaving Bass Music to the local independent labels to buy and sell amongst themselves. Seeing his chance for fame and fortune slipping away, he turned his efforts to engineering music for the Miami area major studio as a way to support his family. In spite of this, Hugo was not so quick to quit the Hip-Hop game, and took control by utilizing Lu's Akai MPC-60 sampler.
