Black Pomade (Open To Close)

Black Pomade (Whoopee / Manzo Edits / Last Forever Records) Black Pomade is a DJ and producer originally from Milan (Italy), now calling New York home after leaving his mark in Lisbon's growing scene. He’s the mastermind behind the Ruínas collective and the Whoopee party series. Heavily inspired by the NY Disco scene and the Chicago House pioneers, he's made a name for himself with a melting pot of analog synths, groovy basslines, and syncopated beats. His sets are a proper journey through House, Disco, and Acid records, always leaving the dance floor buzzing with energy and big grins all around. From 2021 to 2023, he held a residency at MusicBox Lisbon, bridging the gap between the Italian and Portuguese scenes. Regularly gracing the decks in Lisbon and Milan, he’s also taken his sound across Europe and Asia, playing in cities like Bangkok, Seoul, Tokyo, Osaka, Vienna, and Sofia, and sharing the stage with legends like Emmanuelle, Kamma&Masalo, Hunee, Don Carlos, Josey Rebelle, and the iconic Nicky Siano. He’s contributed to top podcast series like SlothBoogie, Discoteca, and Histoires de Piscines, and appeared on radio shows from Melbourne to Pittsburgh, Skopje, São Paulo, and Ibiza. Black Pomade released music on Last Forever Records, Rollover Milano Anything Goes, Stereo Ferment, Modmotif, Dig This Way Records, Youngbloods, and on vinyl for Martino Edits and Windmill Re-Edits. In 2023 his remix for Sontag Shogun was featured on the Apple TV show “Platonic”, meanwhile he launched the vinyl-only edit series Manzo Edits and for 2024 he has upcoming releases scheduled on Whopee Rec and Wilson Records.
