João Pais Filipe is not the kind of musician who talks the talk. In his one of a kind expression, the percussionist bends musical compositions to the point melodies and harmonies are the outcome of rhythmic relations instead of a tyrannic expression ruling over creation. Filipe designed a new direction in sound, which he calls ethno techno and where he manages constant dualities, between mechanic and organic, loops and repetitions, dancefloor explosions and circular mantras. He takes on electronic dancefloor structures in a quite idiosyncratic way, channeling through his self-designed, handmade percussion kit each layer and idea, imbuing them with non-industrialized imperfections and rustic textures and setting a new path for the genre.

Snake Radical is the most recent alias of Márcio Matos, dj and visual artist who has been drawing a total language – both in the trace and in the choices for the track – as essential to the state in which things are. Black is the name used by Nélson Gomes of Filho Único and Gala Drop for his stays in the cabin and in the production of cosmic meshes informed by disco and house.
