Barulho World

For the first time ever, DJ Firmeza and DJ Nigga Fox go back-to-back at Open Ground on Saturday 3 October. This night gets to the heart of Lisbon's thriving Afro-Portuguese dance music scene with two masters of batida  the kuduro-born club sound forged in the city's Quinta do Mocho estate. DJ Nigga Fox is the avant-garde producer whose debut record O Meu Estilo put Príncipe on the international map, (and he carries a restless, high-voltage sound) and whose DJ sets are celebrated as psychedelic literature for the dancefloor. DJ Firmeza is a master of a unique, percussive-heavy, trance-inducing approach to the art of mixing. Expect raw, unrelenting batida and a stack of unreleased weapons.

Both artists have a home at Príncipe Discos one of Europe’s most exciting record labels. The label's co-founder José Moura says batida blew his mind the first time he heard it: "We couldn't pinpoint it. We thought, this is really something we've never heard before. It's not techno, it's not house, it's nothing that we know about.” Originating in Luanda, Angola, it evolved into a vibrant underground movement in the suburbs of Lisbon, Portugal, driven by 140 BPM rhythms blending traditional Angolan and Cape Verdean styles (like kuduro, tarraxinha, funaná, and semba) with modern techno and house production.

Creative Process & Sonic Storytelling in Ableton Live

Workshop with Piccell (Barulho World)

In this artist-led workshop, Piccell offers an insight into his creative process, sharing the workflows and techniques behind his productions in Ableton Live. Through live demonstrations, he will explore his approach to composition, arrangement and sound design, showing how ideas evolve into finished tracks.

The session focuses on developing a personal creative practice through experimentation, intuition and sonic storytelling, while offering practical tools that participants can apply to their own music-making.

We will also have a couple of Ableton Move there for participants to try.
