Viegas, Kerox, Lava, Zir Mut(E)

VIEGAS Viegas is one of the names to have in mind if you want to get to the pulse of the Lisbon electronic underground. Closely involved with the queer clubbing scene both as a promoter and Dj, in 2020 founded ARVI. Fan of melancholic synths, fast-paced ghettotech tracks, trance inducing patterns, acidic bass lines, and also groovy and sexy beats, watching him mix is always an unpredictable ride, one to be experienced in the moment. KEROX Kerox, based in Lisbon, has garnered acclaim in the local clubbing scene, making waves with their dynamic approach to dance music. From appearances at renowned events like Kit Ket, ARVI+, and Boiler Room's hard dance series to co-founding the celebrated label and collective, Kaptcha, Kerox has established a solid reputation. Their visionary blend of Hard Drum, Trance, UK Funky, and Bass Music has earned them international recognition. LAVA LAVA is the performative persona of ALLiAN, a visual artist and founder of the ARCANA collective. This musical project aims to inject fresh sounds into Porto's underground scene. Influenced by São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro funk, LAVA's sets range from rave to experimental, infused with elements of hyperpop and afro-beat. Their work explores the legacy of Brazilian black music, infusing the dance floor with ancestral energy. LAVA embodies chaos, intensity, and afro-futurist queerness, using music and performance to convey a powerful message. ZIR MUT(e) Zir Mut(e) lives with their mind in South America and their frenetic body in Europe. Born in Porto and raised everywhere, their personal mission is to reshape clubbing culture by exploring various musical genres and merging them together. A journey through time and space, a different dance is promised for the dance floor, an exploration of the underworld of funk, perreo, and even folklore, with a touch of European electronic tuntz tuntz.
