Diogo is opening 2025 with a blast with “EXT038 - Saudades das Raves a que Não Fui...” (loosely translatable to "Lost Rave Nostalgia”) 

These four tracks summon the golden-age of Rave culture in the early 90’s, where forward-thinking sounds and free parties tore down boundaries of class, culture and identity. An homage to a period where dance culture was at the centre of a radical social change, realising itself as a form of communal cultural resistance. Through these tracks, Diogo channels these dreams and his own desires to somehow have been a part of it all... Sampled Breaks, heavy basses and dance floor euphoria guaranteed!

“Aquecendo” warms up any dance floor filled with hungry ravers. An exercise in breakbeat science laid on top of a hot and heavy bassline, with a minimal but detailed atmosphere. Guaranteed party starter.

“Break It!” has an infectious beat, almost recalling an early Prodigy track. We hear the faint sounds of ravey synths or the shouts of an MC in the distance, evoking faded memories of raves past.

“Londres Chama” speeds up the tempo and brings in some four-to-the-floor moments. We also get some samples of classic MC chatter spliced with ecstatic female vocals.

“Danos Menores” wraps up the EP with a bouncy heater. Starts off chilled-out and playful, but gets serious once the Amen breaks start rolling in.

“Saudades das Raves a que Não Fui...” feels like a blend between hazy memories of raves past and dreams of raves we didn’t go to, but that feel just as real.
