Wyrd Wrld #2: Hedonic2, Deioces (Live), Marie Pravda

Rolling with the momentum gained from their inaugural event in November last year, headlined by Jerome Hill (Don’t / Super Rhythm Trax, UK), the Wyrd Wrld crew is back for the second edition of their quarterly night, slotting into a packed calendar for Arroz Estúdios’ final month at its current location. A trio of artists navigating the borderless zones of techno, electro and industrial grace tonight’s lineup. Packing an expansive vinyl archive and many years spinning records at festival stages and backwoods gatherings, expertly fusing the sounds of deep techno, electro and EBM, Coimbra legend David Rodrigues initiates the proceedings alongside his partner-in-crime Gil Mac (vox+efx) under their Hedonic2 alias, setting the tone conjunto with a three-hour set. Building the next bridge, Iranian artist Deioces has come down from Porto with an artillery of Persian-inspired syncopated beats, delving into the trippier side of his catalog to deliver an enigmatic LIVE SET. A resident at Prague's institutional club Ankali and member of the affiliated Planeta Za collective, Marie Pravda concludes the night with a highly anticipated appearance at Arroz for her Lisbon debut. Pravda's meticulous sound, gathered over years of digging and immersion in Europe’s club underground, incorporates deep techno of the highest order, intertwining influences rooted in trance, IDM and bass culture. ----- Limited early bird tickets are available for €6. After these are gone, the ticket will be priced at €8 — both online and at the door. Please note that an Arroz Estúdios membership is required. If you don't have it yet, it costs €3 at the door, and lasts for a year. ----- Wyrd Wrld is an inclusive party that is here to celebrate expression and we therefore operate a zero-tolerance policy towards racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, agism and all forms of discrimination.
