Stay Tuned! ___ OHXALA Ohxala is the musical project of Maria & Luis, two musicians who originated in Porto, but whose music has origins down the Amazon, across Africa, and in folk sounds closer to their own native Portugal. In mixing these carefully curated field recordings with electronic basslines, Ohxala’s music brings ritual back into the party and collects a tribe from the crowd. The genre of Ethno Beats has blossomed in recent times. Listeners seek to connect with the rhythms and sounds of the world’s ancestors, and dancers want to move to ancient authenticity. The Ethno Beats movement has Ohxala pulsing at its heart. Having just released their latest EP, Pong Disco, Ohxala is flourishing creatively and has built a global following. That far-flung tribe of listeners is anticipating a debut album, whilst remixes with several acclaimed producers are in the works too. In traveling the world and trekking into some of its more hidden corners, Ohxala is forever building its collection of field recordings with tribal musicians and sound-makers of all kinds. Maria & Luis draw up their inspiration from this inexhaustible reservoir of ancient sounds, and then electronic basslines enliven tracks where stretched leather drums once played. In live (re)performance, Ohxala's audiences dance to an alternate vision for the future built on a collective past. ___ OITO//OITO OITO//OITO brings together DJs and producers Dupplo and Señor Pelota, who for the last 20 years have been lighting up dancefloors all over their native Portugal and beyond, with their passion for eclectic sounds as the main fuel for their sonic mission: the celebration of hedonism and liberation. Inspired by the genesis of Acid House in the famous Summer of Love of 1988, they use the same DIY spirit from this timeless movement to explore the collective mind of escapism and togetherness in what we now know as Club Culture. The duo has always looked to build upon the synergies that connect the music of yesterday with the process of creation in the current era, and how the evolution of contemporary music pushes onwards upon the foundations set by those who came before. In their identity there is also a traditional Portuguese heritage as inspiration, shining through both in the music they play in their sets and in the tracks they create, which capture brilliantly the viscerality and vitality of bygone eras, but always with a contemporary twist. After releasing some incredible, timeless-leaning gems of originals, edits and remixes for other artists the time has come to start their own record label, OITO//OITO Discos. Their first work ‘Raiz’ draws the musical focus towards the sound archives of Michel Giacometti, a French ethnomusicologist who dedicated his life to studying the oral traditions of Portugal which had become either lost or forgotten. As with their previous releases, the duo carefully manage the source material and interweave it with their Acid undertones, with both the original cuts ‘Ceifeiras’ and ‘A Poda’ doing a beautiful job at merging the powerful vocals with driving bass lines and rhythms. On the flip, the duo asked producers Switchdance and Terra Chã to put their spin on ‘Ceifeiras’, and the results only add to the atmosphere. Balanced, referential, blissful, dynamic. All this, and more, feature heavily on the first edition of OITO//OITO Discos, so why not come along and meander through time and space - it’s worth the trip... Since their first appearance on stage in 2019, OITO//OITO have been part of big events, such as the After Party by Vodafone Paredes de Coura ‘19, Distrikt Fundraiser (Burning Man Camp) and on the main stage of the Jardim Sonoro Festival ’22. In the local clubbing circuit you can find them regularly at venues such as Ferro and Plano B (Porto) but mainly at LuxFrágil (Lisboa), the most emblematic club in Portugal. Abroad they left their mark in cities like Amsterdam and Glasgow. Always expect OITO//OITO to showcase their energy with unpredictable and unique DJ sets.
