Read The Room With Penelope

Penelope, French-born artist now based in Lisbon, has steadily carved out her place in the underground through releases on Basic Moves’ sublabel For Playful Manners, Marite’s Tresydos imprint and more recently on her own label oDYSea. Her trajectory reflects a progressive and deliberate rise, driven by a restless search for forms of expression. Her sound resists easy categorisation, a fluid blend of house, techno and off-centre electronics that always delivers a unique storytelling. She easily drifts from cosmic to hypnotic keeping shadowy and shifting textures, always carried out by deeper basslines. In 2025 she presented her first solo EP on her plateform oDYSea ,a milestone that ties her work as curator and artist into a single vision. Parallel to her club-driven output, she explores ambient and experimental music under the alias Zofia Lita, with a first release on Anna Wall’s Dream Theory imprint. Her music has already taken her around the world and play for festivals like Waking Life, Dimensions, Doel and clubs like Tresor, Lux fragil, Hoppetosse among others.Penelope’s path remains in motion, defined by curiosity, subtlety and a refusal to follow the obvious line.
