Data[Attack]

Lineup: Neurodancer + Citizen:Kane [live] + Max Dade + DJ Tusinha [live/DJ] + Lines of Flight [live/performance] About: data[attack] comes about as a delegation of tasks and a co-production from three friends close to the Desterro clubhouse. Bringing a five-performance lineup, the night fuses Violeta Lisboa’s collaborative electro-improv cabaret Art Attack, whose performances are no stranger to the grounds of Village Underground, and datacentre, a monthly residency whose local server typically resides in the depths of Calçada do Desterro. NEURODANCER Neurodancer is obsessed with digging and sharing his finds. The Lisbon-based DJ recently co-founded Capital Decay, a label showcasing like-minded Portuguese artists through records, parties, and a residency on Bristol’s Noods Radio. Neurodancer’s recent appearances have ranged from hypnotic wave trips at Cosmos to razor-sharp electro attacks at ZDB and Arroz Estúdios, and radio sets on mix series the likes of Flagelante and Dark Science Electro. CITIZEN:KANE (Fungo/Maquiavel) [live] Portuguese music producer Citizen:Kane (Marco Guerra), co-founder of the stand-out label Fungo and owner of his own imprint, Maquiavel, also co-hosts the Fungo Transmission and So What By Fungo radio shows, as well as his own broadcast, Amanita Muscaria, on Internet Public Radio. As Citizen:Kane, an array of noteworthy labels have released his musical output: Medical Records Transfusions [USA], Fungo, Paraíso/Rave Tuga, Extended Records, Rádio Quântica, Alienação, Freima Labs, Blackline Records [Portugal], Mands Music and Moira Audio Recordings [Hungary]. Tonight’s performance reflects the essential elements of Citizen:Kane’s latest output featured in his Familiar Voices Are Easier To Understand EP on Maquiavel (2022). Max Dade is a resident DJ at Desterro, an electronic-music-focused cultural association in Lisbon, where he hosts a monthly residency (See @datacentre___). Perpetually wading through the myre of pattern-based grooves and loops, the Portugal-based avid music nerd’s influences stem from the days of night-time FM radio bliss, record shops, archives and time in rumbling basements on the peripheries of anywhere. Opportunities to connect with like-minded musicians through Portugal’s expansive creative network and beyond have led to some good times in Lisbon, London, Bristol and Berlin… DJ TUSINHA [live/DJ] Dj Tusinha está de regresso ao seu país de origem para celebrar as férias de natal com a família. Desta vez veio acompanhada de um microfone e da música mais hipnótica lá dos clubes longínquos que tem frequentado. Espera-nos um set cantado em voz de fogo, para mexer o rabinho, aquecer a alma e perfurar os corações mais românticos.” Lines of Flight [live/Performance] Lines of Flight, a term developed by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari in A Thousand Plateaus (1987), designates an infinitesimal possibility of escape; it is the elusive moment when change happens, as it was bound to, when a threshold between two paradigms is crossed. “Line of flight” is Brian Massumi's English translation of the French “ligne de fuite,” where “fuite” means the act of fleeing or eluding but also flowing, leaking (1987:xvii).
