After more than four decades of commanding the dance floors of the best clubs and festivals around the world, what is left for the most historic national DJ to do?
Embark on a new adventure with the same curiosity and excitement that made him fall in love 42 years ago: the result is called “Frequencies,” and it is DJ Vibe’s first solo album.
The muse of creation emerged in a surge for which even DJ Vibe himself was not prepared – or alert. He sat down at the computer and started to play, smiling at the music that flowed from his mind and materialized in the form of songs. The sounds succeeded one another, manipulated and combined in complex ways, complexly imposing, complexly impactful.
From a surge, he realized he had something truly different in his hands from what he had done until then: these frequencies were all distinct. These manipulated sounds pointed in diverse directions but had something that united them – his signature. After several compilation recordings, DJ Vibe understood that it was time to embrace a new challenge, to debut with a record of original tracks. The process of conception and the adventure that brought it to life made it clear that the title could only be “Frequencies.”
An album like “Frequencies” could only have sprung from a genius who knows the dance floors like the back of his hand, who understands them like no one else, who knows what makes bodies vibrate and souls soar – or, as heard in “Rhythm Climb,” featuring 95 North, “body and soul coming together.” Throughout seven tracks, there is room for strong and deep beats as well as moments of contemplation, there are instances of colorful melodies but also breathing oscillations where silence prevails, there are daring synths but also intoxicating basses, without forgetting the warmth of brass or the subtle words spread like soft details that elevate an entire melody.

When talking about a dance floor, we also talk about the most democratic place in the universe, where everyone meets in equality, armed only with a common goal pointing towards the freedom of movement: in this democracy, DJ Vibe is the undisputed leader, both when paying tribute to the late Magazino, in “Magaz,” and when traveling the world through the tribalism of “Oremos As Oscilações” or finding catharsis in the elegant energy bursts of “Pulse Me Now.”
Entrepreneur, radio host, producer, and pioneer, when DJ Vibe took control of his first club booth he wasn’t even old enough to vote – but, 42 years later, the fascination that led him to fall in love with his father’s record store has not lost a beat of enchantment. He has taken his unmissable DJ sets to the dance floors of the best clubs in the country and the world, but now it’s time to go even further. An eternal music lover and vinyl enthusiast, now he will captivate with his own music and his own vinyl.
Freedom and passion may seem like generic adjectives, but they perfectly define what “Frequencies” is. The dance floors are sanctuaries of contemplation where bodies seek refuge so that souls can meet. Religion doesn’t matter: in “Frequencies,” everyone prays from the same holy book, that of the most emblematic dance music. This may well become their supreme gospel. Let us pray!

Lisbon's Paraiso is back with its 14th release 'Crossroads' by local legend-in-the-making Salbany and remixes from portuguese dance music pioneer Cisco Ferreira a.k.a. The Advent and Detroit's own AMX otherwise known as The AM. The record opens with 'My Life', a warm yet propulsive detroit-referencing techno cut with pad washes, shuffling hi hats, an introspective vocal sample, cascading organ solos and arpeggios to a blissful effect. A2 'Crossroads' brings us a raw, bouncy, jam-like rhythmic section with syncopated toms and snares offset by a piano stab motif and emotive strings. 'Next Morning' closes side A, a hypnotic, curveball roller featuring a warm, rolling bass, offbeat drum hits glued together by immersive pads and UR-esque strings. Side B opener 'Mito' delves into trippier territories with admirable skill - not losing an inch in dancefloor potential - fusing bleeps and bells, beautiful chord progressions and hyper groovy drum machine programming. Techno icon Cisco Ferreira steps in with his 'Lisbon Dub' remix, transforming 'Crossroads' into a sparser, delay-infused slow-burner held together by a dope bass line. AMX brings the lead synth of 'Mito' to a lower octave, mutating it into a swingy midwestern experimental cut that inspires urgency and life force. A restless mantra emerges via the digital bonus track, an alternate 'Elevated' remix of 'Crossroads' that superbly merges original detroitian leanings and industrial textures in a no-frills peaktime banger. This is one of those records that lovingly reminds us techno is about emotion, swing, energy. As in life, nothing here sits still: movement, physical and metaphysical, is the messenger of progress.
naive's 20th release epitomizes what the Lisbon-based label, run by Violet, has become cherished for: imaginative yet timeless, soothing yet moody, melodic yet sonic music. Entitled 'Computer Hermetics', this new record is an EP by UrbnMowgli, a fairly new Berlin-based artist who began releasing music in 2020. The opening track, 'Fast Love Life', is a 145 bpm electro-bred, breakbeat-driven emotive dancefloor banger. It features menacing stabs juxtaposed with beautiful pads and acid-drenched arpeggio motifs that lend it a oneiric quality. 'Oracle Algorithm' picks up the 303 spirit and delves into trippier territories, densening the dreamlike, expansive atmosphere while infusing the record with electro-driven grit. Closing side A is 'Warschauer Rush-Hour', a futuristik, high-tempo twisted electro banger that's both tough and playful. 'Immaterial Desires' inaugurates side B--an ode to adventurous drum programming and intricate sound design in the form of a percussion-punctuated curveball belter. 'Digital Dawn' brings it all back home to the heart and closes the record with its deepest, most immersive moment, giving us big bass lines that alchemically converse with angelic bleepy melodies as if soundtracking a soulful sci fi movie that doesn't exist yet.
