Dance Party W/ Instruções Rituais & Gam

Fridays are a regular party run by friends who wanted a place to dance to great music on a soundsystem you won’t find anywhere else in Madeira. We aim for the feel of an intimate house party — warm, open and unpretentious — but as a public night for everyone. We play deep, trippy and uplifting tracks with rich rhythmic detail and melody. Our selectors and DJs each bring their own musical universe, so you’ll often discover something new. INSTRUÇÕES RITUAIS Isabel Pereira and João Pinho come together with a musical selection that spans the universe of DIY culture, obscure grooves from different parts of the world, and the avant-garde of contemporary electronic music. GAM Porto’s duo of sound explorers (Pedro Abrantes and Valdemar Pereira) mining personal record collections, local friends’ releases and rare finds from beyond. Their selections drift between hazy, metamorphosical atmospheres, psyche-downtempo rhythms and leftfield acrobatic miscellanea. From 1950s experimental studios to the hyper-pointillistic virtuosity of contemporary practice, GAM’s sets erase genre borders and champion the archive’s surprises: riffs, anthems, sound-system pressure and deep obscurities recorded through time. Our sound system reveals detail without fatiguing your ears — and we keep improving it. Enjoy the 360° terrace over Funchal Bay, Levadia craft beer brewed downstairs, Nat’cool natural wines, a vegetarian plate and brownies for the munchies. We’re a non-profit association: tickets cover our costs; any surplus goes back into the next event. Think of the night as a gift — come as our friend and share the music.
