“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.
Heartbreakerz are off to Açores
Portugal’s favourite female DJ duo just keep getting bigger! Next Saturday the 13th of March the girls are off to the Açores to bring the house down at Twins. So if you happen to be on the islands that weekend make sure you don’t miss Heartbreakerz in action.
Heartbreakerz confirmed for Rock In Rio Lisboa
With an already great 2009 behind them which saw Portugal’s favourite female DJ duo play in London, Paris and Portugal’s biggest summer festival, Sudoeste, 2010 is shaping up to be an even bigger year! Heartbreakerz have been invited to play at this year’s edition of Rock In Rio in Lisbon. On the 30th of May, the girls will be sharing the DJ booth with such techno luminaries as Paul Ritch, Speedy J and the legendary Green Velvet! Make sure to buy your tickets ASAP before they sell out.
Stereo Addiction & Heartbreakerz join Da Providers at Jezebel

Over the coming months they will be bringing you a whole host of surprises, with international names to boot. Kicking off on Friday the 5th of February, the guys have asked Stereo Addiction and Heartbreakerz to join resident duo Bart Cruz & Henriq in a DJ battle of epic proportions. Six DJs, one booth, only one DJ duo will remain standing - so make sure to save the date, because this is one party you can’t afford to miss.
O Baile returns to London in 2010
After making it’s Lisbon debut in November and with a second event in the same city in February, Madame and Lumin felt it was high time to bring “O Baile” back to it’s city of origin, London.
On Friday the 2nd of April, the girls will be bringing the party back to the UK with a new venue and two great names from the Portuguese underground – Heartbreakerz, Lisbon’s favourite female DJ duo, and Teratron a new dance floor destroying project featuring members of Portugal’s biggest hip hop crew Da Weasel.
The event will be held at The Islington Metal Works, accessed via a discreet entrance just behind Angel tube station it has played host to the hippest art exhibitions, concerts and even Spike Lee’s private parties.

Após o sucesso da estreia lisboeta em Novembro do ano passado e com o próximo evento a ocupar a LX Factory em Fevereiro, Madame e Lumin decidiram que chegou a hora de regressar às origens e marcar mais uma festa em terras de sua majestade.
Sexta-feira dia 2 de Abril, “O Baile” está de volta a Londres num novo espaço - Islington Metal Works, e com dois grandes talentos da cena portuguesa – Teratron e Heartbreakerz.
Teratron é um novo projecto orientado para as pistas de dança, formado por dois ex-membros dos Da Weasel e descritos da seguinte forma “o adn de Afrika Bambaataa com a irreverência de Tommy Lee, a insanidade de Prodigy com a frescura da turma Ed Banger, os olhos dos Chemical Brothers, o nariz de Michael Mayer, a boca de Dita Von Teese”. ..
A Islington Metal Works fica por trás da estação de metro em Angel e já foi local de variadíssimos concertos, exposições e festas privadas do realizador Spike Lee.

Cabaret Xmas Party powered by Madame
A noite de Natal já não é a mesma sem uma festa Cabaret powered by Madame.
Ao peru e ao bacalhau da ceia de Natal junta-se um cocktail de artistas nacionais a representar o que melhor se faz de musica no nosso país, num espaço totalmente decorado a rigor para esta importante ocasião.
Sexta feira, dia 25 de Dezembro a festa é no Lx Factory. Quem se lembra da festa original do ano passado no Teatro Ibérico, sabe que esta noite é um must have natalicio. E para as centenas de pessoas que ficaram ao frio fora da festa, sugerimos que se despachem a abrir os presentes de Natal e que deixem a sobremesa para mais tarde para que não aconteça o mesmo…pois a festa começa cedo e promete incendiar a pista do Lx logo de inicio, não fosse Dj Ride (www.myspace.com/ridept) o responsável por abrir as hostilidades.
Dj Ride é o nosso campeão nacional de scratch que tem tido um ano pleno de sucesso, com convites para actuar no estrangeiro, uma edição de um novo disco, é aclamado pela crítica nacional, e fez uma colaboração com Kika Santos para o tema “U Fill Me” que está em alta rotação nas rádios portuguesas e na MTV. Para celebrar este ano em cheio, Ride decidiu juntar-se à festa de natal Cabaret.
De seguida e porque festa com um dedo de Madame, tem a presença quase obrigatória das duplas mais famosas de Portugal.. a dupla feminina Heartbreakerz e a dupla de rapazes mais internacionais que temos em solo nacional, Stereo Addiction. As duplas partilham ainda a cabine com o mais recente e talentoso representante do novo sangue da musica de dança em Portugal, Twofold.
No Natal, todos os caminhos vão dar ao Lx Factory.
—————————————————————————————————————————————————-
Christmas just wouldn’t be the same thing without a Cabaret event powered by Madame.
After filling up on turkey and bacalhau, be sure to make your way down to Alcântara for a night filled with the best that Portugal’s burgeoning dance music scene has to offer, in a space that will be decorated down to the smallest detail to ensure that this year’s event will be even bigger, bolder and better than last year’s legendary Cabaret Christmas evening.
On Friday the 25th of December, the mother of all christmas parties will be at Lx Factory. For those of you who remember last years’ epic bash at Teatro Ibérico then you will know that this is the one event you don’t want to miss this year, and, for those many hundreds who didn’t make it in last year, make sure to arrive early and to leave your desserts for after the party to ensure you are not left out in the cold. The evening is sure to start off with a bang, especially since the opening act will be none other than Portugal’s scratch champion, critically aclaimed producer and master of the turntables; DJ Ride (www.myspace.com/ridept)
DJ Ride has had a hugely successful 2009, his unbelievable skills behind the decks have led to many invitations to play abroad, he put out a new album that was lauded by portuguese critics far and wide as one of the records of the year, and he has released a collaboration with Kika Santos entitled “U Fill Me” which is on non-stop rotation on all major portuguese radios and MTV.
Since this event has a subtle hint of the old Madame magic, the Cabaret christmas DJ booth will once again welcome Portugal’s two biggest DJ duos; Heartbreakerz, who will be bringing their uniquely feminine brand of dancefloor magic to the evening’s proceedings, and Stereo Addiction whose headlining spot at last years’ event is still talked about in hushed tones. Joining the awesome foursome, will be one of Portugal’s newest and most promising DJ’s of 2009, Twofold.
This Christmas, every path leads to Lx Factory.
And just like we promised…
