Available to hire
I’m Mario van Limpt, also known as Souza, a Dutch DJ/Producer, Audio Engineer, Composer and Video Editor based in Hooge Mierde. Mortalicz grew out of SoulRage, a hardstyle project I started with a friend, and we’ve performed in clubs across the Netherlands since our early teens. SoulRage connected with Excess Records and helped me develop a distinctive sound and vision for the hardstyle scene. Today I lead Mortalicz and continue producing music while also shaping multimedia projects and artist management.
I’m creative, proactive, and solutions-oriented, always looking for opportunities rather than obstacles. People often describe me as a connector and a friendly team player who stays client-focused under pressure. My work spans live sound and studio production, video and audio editing, graphic design and merchandise operations, with a passion for making things happen—on time and with energy.
