“O Baile” está a chegar novamente a Londres

There are only two weeks to go until Madame & Lumin’s “O Baile” returns to London. The event is going down on Friday the 2nd of July with a stellar lineup and an awesome venue. The evening will pit two of portugal’s most interesting underground projects, :papercutz and Octa Push (both of whom will be headlining the event),  against two London-based electronica whiz-kids, Rival Consoles and Missaw, and Matthew Hawtin, a member of the legendary berlin-based Minus record label family, whose unique brand of ambient infused techno music will round out the proceedings.

:papercutz are a young band from Oporto, Portugal, that sprang from the imagination of lead songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Bruno Miguel. After a brief period as a solo project, a series of collaborators were welcomed into the fold such as current vocalist Marcela Freitas and visual artist Susana Maia. The band’s sublime blend of acoustic textures and electronica has seen them release their debut album “Lylac” on Canadian label Apegenine Recordings, win an award at London’s prestigious People’s Music Awards, gain praise from BBC presenter Anne Nightingale and XFM’s Eddy Temple-Morris, play at one of the world’s most prestigious music festivals SXSW, win second place in the Dance/Electronica category in the International Sonwriting Competition (whose jury includes such well respected musicians as The Cure’s Robert Smith).

:papercutz will be playing in London on the 2nd of July at the Islington Metal Works, alongside one of Lisbon’s hottest dance music projects, Octa Push, whose unique sunshine infused dubstep has seen them go down a storm at such venues as the legendary fabric, festivals like Sonar and Glade, among many others, and has earned them the respect of luminaries such as Thom Yorke and Buraka Som Sistema. The unstoppable duo will once again grace “O Baile” with their highly eclectic and energetic live act.

For anyone who is in London, this is one party that you simply cannot afford to miss on Friday the 2nd of July at the Islington Metal Works.

Faltam menos de 2 semanas para “O Baile” de Madame e Lumin na cidade que o viu nascer. É já no dia 2 de Julho. Com um cartaz estrondoso que reune dois dos projectos mais interessantes do panorama musical underground português acompanhados de dois britânicos que já deram muito que falar e um membro da família Minus, esta próxima edição d’”O Baile” vai ser certamente uma das festas mais memoráveis do verão londrino.
A comitiva portuguesa como já se sabe é composta por :papercutz e Octa Push. A representar o Reino Unido, Rival Consoles e Missaw vão invadir a cabine d’”O Baile” com a sua vertente de techno excêntrica mas sempre acessível. A fechar o cartaz, Matthew Hawtin, vai mostrar a sua raça com um set que faz a ponte entre as melodias hipnóticas e as batidas mais fortes. Para quem estiver em Londres, esta é uma festa a não perder no dia 2 de Julho no Islington Metal Works a começar a partir das 22h.
