The Reset Lisbon

It’s not just music It’s not just performance It’s not just a party It's about the movement It’s about connecting It’s about you Nightlife is changing; independent spaces are closing...it's time to do something completely different - the RESET is our answer. the RESET merges art, music, movement, food, and conversation to challenge, creating experiences and spaces that are life-changing. Each DJ set, workshop, performance, and conversation was designed to flow into one another - this experience is not meant for you to consume, but to be an active participant. CONNECTION The theme of this RESET is Connection. How do you connect with yourself? With others? Are you connected with the outside world? Do you connect with the dance floor? When you dance, are you connected to your body? the RESET is an opportunity to explore what and who you are connected to. Before we do anything else...especially before we create something, your connection is important. Connect with MUSIC: From ambient, techno, house, live coding, and more, the music for the RESET is curated to make you feel. Connect with the DANCEFLOOR: Yes, we will dance. But dancefloors want to be reclaimed. Dancefloors are where we are free...where we are most liberated. We encourage you to create your own connection and meaning to the dancefloor. Connect with YOURSELF: There are “phone-free” areas within the RESET. Ask yourself: Is your connection with your phone blocking connection with yourself and those around you? Does your body and mind need to recalibrate? We are all overwhelmed with life, but every aspect of the RESET-the music, the workshops, the food, the conversations- is created to give you time and space to breathe just a little bit deeper. Connection with OTHERS: Are you able to look people in the eyes when they speak? Are you truly listening? Do you have the capacity to begin to understand other people? Our society wants to divide us. At the RESET, we focus on what connects us. Connect with the SPACE: Penhasco Arte Cooperativa is a community-driven sanctuary for creative resistance and artistic connection. We love the space because of its energy. You really feel and connect with their passion for the community. We value independent spaces in Lisbon, knowing safe spaces like these allow our creativity to live free. ARTISTS AEONA REX: AEONA REX creates music with code. Using Strudel, a live-coding environment that turns programming into sounds, she steps on stage with almost nothing: a laptop, a projector, and a handful of lines of code she's created. Everything else is made in the moment, line by line in full view of the crowd. Her sound is inspired by a range of music, including techno, electronica, and classical music. Underneath it all lives a quiet solitude, of being alone together on a dancefloor. With roots in visual arts and programming, she's performed in Lisbon at Damas with the Toplap.pt live-coding collective and DARC Desterro, and streams her sets virtually for audiences beyond the club. Leenو: Leenو ElMobaddr (Lebanese, currently based in Portugal) works through performance, food, and installation under the lens of spatial design. Their current research explores dialogue between routine and ritual and the intersection of symbolism in language and materials. Their projects often unfold through collaborative and participatory encounters, using rhythm and repetition as tools for composition and research. Their work attempts to bring “big” topics into the creative playground and see what comes out of it, preserving rituals towards deriving new dictionaries of relating, connecting, and therefore being. Leenو is currently working on a project titled Mola do microfono ملقط ميكروفوني; a movement towards resisting the domestic language. Rayge.Uncovered: Driven by joy, love, wisdom, and harmony, Rayge creates live performances that invite connection rather than spectacle. Rayge appears in multiple guises, sometimes as a Human Canvas, using nakedness as a multidimensional language — emotional, ethical, creative, and at times physical. Rayge.Uncovered challenges binaries of all kinds and in their performances resists colonialism, fascism, patriarchy, and capitalist extraction. Together with audiences and organisers, Rayge embarks on shared journeys of understanding and transformation. Join Rayge’s living act of Queer resistance, guided by care, community, and connection. The Auragrio: The Auragrio is a storyteller, musician, writer, sound-shifter, and is dedicated to collective liberation. Born from the MTV generation—when it was just you, the screen, and the music—the Auragrio learned early how sound can move the body, soften the heart, and awaken the spirit. Today, that same energy flows into house mixes, meditations, slow jams, and world grooves crafted to sow love and spark liberation. Guided by intuition, rhythm, and the wisdom of the griots, the Auragrio uses music as a pathway for healing and transformation. Every set is an invitation to feel, remember, and return to yourself—one beat, one breath, one movement at a time. POP-UP WORKSHOPS AND EXHIBITIONS: Pop-Up Stamp Workshop w/ Cesar van Pinsett: Cesar van Pinsett, originally from Paris (France), is currently based in Lisbon (Portugal), where he founded the Cardinal Collection (cardinal-collection.org). The Cardinal Collection consists of a gallery space, an archive, and several artist editions, including zines and objects, most recently a series of artist-designed fans. The project explores experimental forms and formats, drawing references from underground and erotic cultures. The gallery has hosted several exhibitions since its opening last September. Cesar van Pinsett has published more than 50 zines and independent publications and recently released a series of “approximate facsimiles” based on vintage magazines. Exploring Support Groups with SitWith: SitWith knows life feels uncertain right now. Like the moon, they embrace the dark moments—because something new is always growing. When things feel darkest, we can let go of how things used to be and make space for something better. At the RESET, you'll experience their tool, BeWith, to provide an accessible way to connect with a support group to work through life situations. They are committed to meeting people where they are so we can grow together. the RESET is donation-based. - 7€ minimum donation Solidarity Donations are accepted in place of event donations.
