Uma das figuras agitadoras da movida lisboeta na última década, seja por via da co-germinação do saudoso Planeta Manas, na organização das festas mina e Desce, na Rádio Quântica ou em diversos dj sets, BLEID tem vindo a pautar-se por uma postura discreta mas influente. Mais conhecida pelo trabalho que desenvolve nos bastidores e enquanto DJ, teve no ano passado um período particularmente fértil em edições com 'GRITOS' na All Centre, 'MAS VIDAS' na Ashida Park, 'Medusas' na Discos Extendes ou 'EZ' na sua DESCE num mapa que vai de bangers speedados, a perreo cyber-tech, passando por breaks, momentos de contemplação e uma sensibilidade muito sua na forma como reorganiza continuamente todas estas coordenadas numa visão global das vivências na pista e do seu poder transformador e comunitário.

One of the key instigators within Lisbon’s underground music community over the past decade, BLEID has maintained a discreet yet influential presence through the co-founding of the much-missed Planeta Manas, the organisation of mina and Desce parties, her work with Rádio Quântica, and a wide range of DJ sets. Though best known for her work behind the scenes and behind the decks, last year marked an especially prolific period of releases, with ‘GRITOS’ (All Centre), ‘MAS VIDAS’ (Ashida Park), ‘Medusas’ (Discos Extendes) and ‘EZ’ (Desce). Across these works, sped-up bangers, cyber-tech perreo, breaks and moments of contemplation are continually reassembled through a distinctly personal sensibility, shaped by an expansive vision of dancefloor experience and its power to transform and bring people together.
An incendiary entity out of New York, led by Dan Orlowski alongside Hatechild and newly joined drummer John Bemis (Murderpact), with a vast, ever-shifting network of collaborators in production, Deli Girls operate in a space of queer, freak, and conscious sonic activism/terrorism, distilled into a furiously celebratory form driven by gabber velocity, shredded screamo vocals, hyperreal visions and multitudes, noise, and a punk as fuck stance that hurls firecrackers at patriarchal structures while claiming space for both the dancefloor and the mosh pit. A long-awaited return to Portugal, following appearances that left their mark on retina and bone.

An alliance between Tiago Carneiro, aka Tendency, and Nuno Loureiro, both key figures in Porto’s movida, set out to dismantle fixed ideas of what a DJ set can be. Processing in real time, through sampling and effects, the carefully chosen selections from Carneiro’s extensive record collection, Loureiro reshapes their internal realities into a new dimension: a mutable liminal space between live set and DJ set. “Live Mix at Donau”, a recording captured from their first live appearance and released on Out Of Order, marks a point of departure for this field of possibilities, drawing on the histories inscribed in vinyl — from the hardcore continuum to ambient music and electronic abstraction — and reconfiguring them into a continuously unfolding flow.

Regresso ao OUT.FEST desta figura icónica e continuamente surpreendente dos nossos tempos, num momentum criativo imparável que, só considerando tempos recentes, nos abençoou com os álbuns 'thirteen sense' e 'sleep with a cane', para além de várias malhas avulsas no seu Bandcamp. Dona de uma abordagem intuitiva e exploratória, ferozmente independente, Klein tem manipulado o código genético de diversas músicas - r&b, ambient, shoegaze, industrial, noise - numa visão iconoclasta marcada pela disrupção da iconografia popular e um olhar inquisitivo a sistemas de opressão pela sua via mais emocional e hipnótica, capaz de universalizar as vivências mais particulares.

A return to OUT.FEST from one of the most distinctive and continually surprising figures working today, in the midst of an unstoppable creative momentum that, even just in recent months, has yielded albums such as “thirteen sense” and “sleep with a cane”, alongside a steady stream of standalone tracks on her Bandcamp.
Working through an intuitive, exploratory, and fiercely independent approach, Klein has been reshaping the genetic code of multiple musical forms – R&B, ambient, shoegaze, industrial, noise – within an iconoclastic vision marked by the disruption of popular iconography and an inquisitive gaze toward systems of oppression at their most emotional and hypnotic register, capable of universalising the most intimate experiences.
Against the idea that the guitar’s potential has already been exhausted, Shane Parish has been carving out an exemplary body of work on the instrument that, without resorting to grand gestures, quietly disproves that claim. A guitarist, composer, improviser, and educator, he builds a language grounded in a deep knowledge of history, its canons and forms, projected into the present, whether through his work with Ahleuchatistas and the Bill Orcutt Guitar Quartet or in his solo acoustic practice, where he engages both the Appalachian songbook and visionaries such as Ornette Coleman and Aphex Twin.
Earlier this year he released the surprising and self-explanatory “Autechre Guitar”, where the somewhat unthinkable transcription of 1990s electronic music by the pioneering Sheffield duo reveals the melodic and emotional core — so often overlooked — of pieces from Amber and Tri Repetae, in what is most essential about them. One of those records you just HAVE to listen to.

Having already established a distinctive artistic voice within the world of Batida and the extended Príncipe family, Helviofox confirmed all the promise of his earlier EPs, standalone tracks and remixes with ‘Rodeado de Batida’. A member of the TLS crew and the younger brother of Dadifox and Erycox, whose work he openly cites as a formative influence, Helviofox began producing his first tracks at just thirteen years old. Since then, his music has steadily evolved, carving out its own space and poetic language through the elegant interplay of propulsive rhythms, liquid keyboards, dreamlike melodies and grooving basslines, bringing fresh momentum to a musical DNA that continues to unfold.
