O Baile website is now online!
“O Baile“, the events hosted and promoted by Madame and Lumin, have seen a dramatic increase in hype and notoriety. Starting small at the beginning of last year at London venues such as Sketch or Bar Music Hall, and primarily aimed at showcasing the best music spawned from the portuguese underground, the word spread quickly that something special was brewing in some of the UK capital’s hippest nightspots. In November, the girls brought the party to Lisbon in a big way with a huge venue and stunning lineup. It was an unbridled success. In 2010, a resolution was made: “O Baile” would happen simultaneously in London and Lisbon. To celebrate this fact, Madame and Lumin decided to set up a website to help spread the word for their awesome parties. Starting today, you can keep up with all the latest news regarding future events, venues, lineups and competitions at www.obaile.co.uk. Check it out!

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.

Micachu & The Shapes to play at Lisbon’s first “Baile”
On Saturday, the 21st of November, The Loft in Lisbon will host an event that has been all the rage in London. “O Baile“, a club night that was born from the imaginations of Mariana Duarte Silva and Joana Seguro, is a monthly showcase for Portugal’s cutting edge underground music. As the english capital is one of the most multicultural cities on the planet, the evenings’ concept evolved to include musicians from all over the world. ” O Baile” has had some of the freshest young talent in their DJ booth including Octapush (who were subsequently invited to play at Fabric and at the Glade Festival), Bart Cruz, Gustavo Rodrigues, Bailarico Sofisticado, Twofold, and Quayola, among others.In November, and coinciding with Madame’s birthday bash, “O Baile” will be heading over to Lisbon with a lineup that has to be seen to be believed. We joint forces with Berlin’s Little Big Agency to bring to London so of their most exciting up and coming artists. First up is Micachu & The Shapes an english band who have had the critics enraptured with their stunningly original pop cacophony - they have been credited with releasing the record of the year and being the future of Pop music. Next a young artist whose fans include the legendary Brian Eno, Herbie Hancock and Coldplay (whose latest record, “Viva La Vida”, he helped produce) - the young Jon Hopkins will be bringing his unique electronica stylings and awesome live act to Lisbon’s first “Baile”. Tim Exile, Warp Records latest goldenboy, will showcase his glitchy take on dance music in a live act that will surely add an excentric flavour to the proceedings.
AS if all this wasn’t enough, the night will be rounded off by DJ sets from renowned italian visual artist Quayola, and from Portugal’s hottest DJ duos - Stereo Addiction and Heartbreakerz who will be sharing the booth with Twofold, the latest signing to Madame Management’s roster. The site chosen to host this event, which promises to be the party of the year, is The Loft in Lisbon.
Make sure to save the date, as the night of the 21st of November will surely be an evening you won’t want to miss. More info coming soon.

Secret Wars is coming to Lisbon
Secret Wars is a project that was born in London, it’s popularity spreading almost instantly throughout the U.K, making it’s way through Europe and the US (Secret Wars is hitting New York this week) and now it is ready to infect the rest of the world! Lisbon will be the next european city to host one of these unique events.
The concept is simple; a battle between street artists where everyone has access to the same weaponry. In Lisbon, we will see three London artists facing off against three Lisbon counterparts. The following rules apply to all Secret Wars:
90 Minutes, Black marker pens on white canvas, no sketches, no brushes
The winners are decided using a three point system: A vote by 2 guest judges and a crowd vote using a decibel reader.
Between the 7th and the 10th of July, besides the battle between London and Lisbon, the portuguese capital will also host the first residency solely dedicated to graffiti in the country’s history. For one week, three taggers from London and three from Lisbon, will prepare an exhibition that will open on the day of the Secret Wars battle. The goal of this residency is for the artists to create free of any constraints and to promote collaboration, which can only enrich the work of the participants as they interact with each other exchanging the quirks and experiences of their individual cultural experiences.
Lisbon will be represented by Hium, Klit and Mar. The London crew will be headed up by Jimi Crayon , Alfa and Teck1.
Be sure not to miss this groundbreaking event for fans of any kind of visual art.
