Lisbon continues to thrive musically and Violet is one of the city's most active artists. Paraíso is her natural habitat - she contributed to the first-ever record on the label and has remained in its inner circle.

'New Visions' is Violet's testament of a love for ever-evolving sonic languages while doing a notable job in encapsulating her myriad influences. From the acid-tinged, moodier palette of the One Eyed Jacks days to the jungle-influenced sounds expressed in her latest works to the very early influence of 90s portuguese dance music, this EP embraces it all - and then some.

The title track seems to speak of hope and resistance, layering oneiric arpeggiated bleeps with deconstructed breaks and a heavy sub that morphs into a drone wave, washing emotions anew. Kaos V, admittedly a homage to the sound of the iconic label Kaos that pioneered a local, stripped down dance sound in Lisbon, sounds like a mysterious prophecy, equal parts ancient and futuristic.

Junqueira is a left-of-centre roller that resorts to metallic synths, raw drums and even a digi cello to manifest a sense of club unity. The record closes with the slower-paced syncopated groove of High In Forest Hill: a dancehall-referencing bass sits under acid modulations, eerie vocal synths and a snare drum that just won't stand still.

Paraíso é uma plataforma multi-dimensional: toma a forma de programa de rádio, editora e noite para celebrar a música a que um dia chamaram "underground house music from a paradise called portugal".
Uma homenagem à rave portuguesa que nasceu nos anos 90 e continua, hoje, a trilhar o seu caminho. Desde as lendas dos tempos da Kaos e do Alcântara-Mar aos produtores contemporâneos influenciados pelo espírito original da rave tuga, todo este contínuo serve de inspiração para a Paraíso. Para que a nossa herança nunca se perca e continue a polvilhar o inconsciente colectivo.
