History
The Deckdisc officially began his career as a record label in 1998, with distribution from Universal Music. The first success was the series "O Som do Barzinho", which reached more than two million copies sold in its five volumes.

At EMI, João Augusto worked with Mamonas Assassinas, Marisa Monte, Legião Urbana, Os Paralamas do Sucesso, Exaltasamba and many others. In 1999 Deckdisc brought back to the music scene the band Ultraje a Rigor with the launch of the album 18 Anos Sem Tirar! and in 2000 came the biggest hit of all, the launch of the debut album of Falamansa.
