“O Baile” returns to London
After a succesful Lisbon run, Friday the 2nd of April marks the return of “O Baile” to London, and Madame and Lumin have a very special evening planned. The lineup will consist of two major portuguese acts handpicked from among the finest Lisbon’s awesome underground scene has to offer.
First up will be Teratron, a new project whose debut album was considered the 3rd best album of the year by popular website cotonete, whose video shot to the top of the charts on MTV Portugal, and whose earth-shaking live act has been a massive success helping them secure warm up gigs for such international sensations as Steve Aoki. After a quick listen to their record, the girls behind “O Baile” couldn’t resist bringing them to London.
Following on from the new boys will be Portugal’s favourite female DJ duo, Heartbreakerz. The two girls have floored clubbers from Lisbon to Paris with their sensual, unique sound which is a deadly blend of techno, tech house and electro. Their flawless mixing skills and uncanny knack for knowing exactly what a crowd wants at any given time has seen them play at every big club and festival in Portugal, the infamous Always Fridays night at The Egg, La Bellevilloise in Paris and has even secured them a spot at this year’s Rock In Rio in Lisbon alongside Paul Ritch, Speedy J and Green Velvet.
As we enter a new decade, Madame and Lumin decided it was time for a change, and have now moved the “O Baile” events to the amazing Islington Metal Works in Angel. Built in the late 19th century this unbelievable venue has three floors and has hosted everything from concerts, to art exhibitions and a whole host of wild parties. So make sure to save the date cause this is one comeback you won’t want to miss.

Sexta-feira dia 2 de Abril , fim de semana da Páscoa, marca o regresso d’ O Baile a Londres, a cidade que o viu nascer. Para esta noite, Madame e Lumin têm vários trunfos na manga. O lineup vai ser composto por dois dos projectos mais interessantes do underground Português.
Em primeiro lugar , Teratron, cujo álbum de estreia foi considerado o terceiro melhor disco de 2009 pelo site Cotonete. Com um videoclip nos tops da MTV Portugal, a apresentação do seu disco no Lux e um live act arrebatador que já lhes valeu um convite para partilharem a cabine com Steve Aoki na Casa da Música no Porto, esta dupla lisboeta passou do anonimato ao estrelato no espaço de seis meses. Vão ter a sua estreia londrina n’ O Baile de dia 2 de Abril.
De seguida, as Heartbreakerz prometem trazer à cabine deste Baile a sua mistura explosiva de tech house, techno e electro que tanto furor fez nos clubes e festivais de Portugal. A sua técnica infalível e sexto sentido já as levou a quebrarem corações de Paris a Londres. Madame e Lumin apostam bem em trazer um toque feminino a esta edição d’ O Baile, a mesma dupla de Djs que estão confirmadas para o Rock in Rio Lisboa 2010.
Com o início de uma nova década, Madame e Lumin decidiram que estava na hora de “mudar de ares”, por isso procuraram um novo espaço para as edições londrinas d’ O Baile de 2010. Acertaram em cheio com o Islington Metal Works. Construído no fim do século XIX esta venue tem sido local de concertos, exposições de arte e festas controversas. Mas as suas quatro paredes nunca viram nada como O Baile.
Quem estiver por Londres não pode perder, no dia 2 de Abril, o regresso d’ O Baile.
