Dito
Eduardo José Gomes Camassele Mendes (born 18 January 1962 in Barcelos), known as Dito, is a retired Portuguese footballer who played as a central defender, and a manager.
Club career
During 16 professional seasons Dito appeared in 358 Primeira Liga matches, starting his career with S.C. Braga, for which he was already an important first-team member at the age of 18, and signing with S.L. Benfica in 1986 after six years in Minho.
During his two season-spell with Benfica, Dito played in 27 league games in his first year as the Lisbon club won the double, then partnered Carlos Mozer in his second (no silverware won). He then moved to rivals and title holders FC Porto for one season, with Benfica regaining its domestic supremacy at the expense of precisely the northerners.
From 1989 to 1994, always in the top division, Dito represented Vitória de Setúbal, S.C. Espinho and Gil Vicente FC. After an unassuming stint with A.D. Ovarense in the second level he retired from football, aged 34.
Dito's biggest achievement as a coach was managing S.C. Salgueiros over the course of three top flight campaigns, being sacked after the tenth round of 1999–2000 as the Paranhos team eventually retained its status. In 2009 he returned to his first team Braga, being appointed at its junior sides.
Trancemaster
Trancemaster is a long-running CD compilation series, issued by the label Vision Soundcarriers, a sub-label of Eurovision Soundcarriers.
History
The series began in 1992 with 'Trancemaster Vol. 1', at a time when the genre of trance was in its infancy. As a result early volumes contained a variety of genres, including ambient house, Goa Trance and techno, as well as a sub-title (such as 'The Goa Gap' or 'Hardtrance Experience'), but gradually the series stabilized to become centred on the European trance sound.
The title of each volume was originally joined by a sub-title (such as 'The Goa Gap' or 'Hardtrance Experience'), but since its 24th volume each compilation has been marketed with its number in four figures (meaning Volume 24 became '2004').
The format of each volume has varied over the years. Initially each edition featured a single disc of 12" mix tracks, before double disc volumes began with 'Trancemaster 7 - The Future Watch'. Some volumes were released with a third, mixed CD. Early volumes were also released on vinyl. Typically around five volumes are released per year, with the series currently on it 76th volume.
