Lisbon's purveyor of dance incantations Paraíso are back with an EP that packs a meeting of 3 legends of the local and global underground - a trio of fearless pioneers and cultural agitators from different eras.

Yen Sung and Photonz have partnered up in 2020 to collaborate on new music and start a record label. Fast forward to today and this Paraíso EP is their third release, further exploring their mutual penchant for ethereal house music drenched in subtle but fiery grooves and acid basslines. Opener 'A Temperança' taps into moody yet bouncy motifs, punctuated by crisp claps and an infectious 303 line in the vein of DJ Pierre's record 'What is House Music', their confessed influence for this track. Things get slower on the A2 where the title track gets reworked with alternative elements - aptly named Gravity Mix.

The B side continues the metallic acid exploration via 'Akasha', twisting and turning like only expertly crafted basslines do before things blossom into a sunny house groover with enticing percussion and variegated hats. Legendary Angolan-Portuguese producer DJ Satélite steps in for remix duties, adding his iconic deep afro house edge to a wonderful effect, all blissful motifs and broken percussive sonics.

Artist: https://soundcloud.com/lakehaze
Track: Acid Genesis
Label: https://soundcloud.com/discosparaiso
Format: 12" Vinyl, Digital EP
Release date: 03/03/23
YouTube: https://youtu.be/jbxdPA2MNNk

Mysterious, melodic and dark - Portuguese can-do-no-wrong-er Lake Haze is back, adding to his impressive catalogue a four-tracker EP named 'Coordinates Of A Decaying World' for Lisbon's ever-attentive Paraíso.
Off-beat toms and rim shots paired with squelchy, slippery, acid make the opener, 'Galactic Federation', feel as bouncy and polyrhythmic as a non 4/4 track, playing a delicious illusion on the audience - completed emotionally by beautifully textured stabs and pads that speak of longing and perhaps of ethical space exploration to escape the pains of this Earth.
Reverb-drenched arpeggio acid and digital choirs welcome the listener in a grandiose, almost goth-like way, offset by an improvisational, on-the-go arrangement spirit, an impression that is met by the track title 'Jamming in Dracula's Castle'.
The B side opens with fat kicks and bass, its textures reminiscent of dutch and Belgian rave traditions; expertly merged with a Moroder-like synth-a-delic motif - always propulsed by that driving, taking-no-prisoners bass and acid lines.
The last track of the EP takes us to sunlight-drenched territories in comparison, with a warm sub bass and classic breaks serving as a base to another one of Lake Haze's expertly programmed acid lines.
The beautiful pads and melodies prevail, but the feeling in this closing number gives us an optimistic glimpse into a better future, after an EP that is about showing us some moodier, shadowy emotional rave bangers.

Paraíso no Passos: Catarina Silva 04.03.2023

For the 12th release on Paraíso, co-founder Shcuro strips things back to assert what truly remains no matter much time may pass.

‘It Lasts Forever’ is the producer’s ode to structural things in his inner life that will keep flowing on unchanged, be it the love for his wife; his reverence to techno - hence the use of classic drum machines like Roland’s 909, 808 and 707; to friendship and community - having one of his dearest mates Steffi take part via the remixer chair.

Steffi picks up the opening track and adds propulsive percussion and further melodic elements to it, creating the perfect gem to close this record.

D55 - Expansion (Bandcamp Exclusive)

In the early to mid nineties, Portugal went through its very own dance music explosion. Clubs like Alcântara-Mar and Kremlin in Lisbon (with DJ Luis Leite and DJ Vibe as residents, respectively) or Rocks and Industria in Porto were the epicenter of that movement. Labels like Kaos put out vital records by local producers and party crews organised raves of epic proportions in monasteries and castles - this eventually attracted international buzz, with one British publication using the expression "Underground house music from a paradise called Portugal" in an article. That's where Paraíso, the name of José Acid a.k.a. Shcuro's brand new label, comes from.

José Acid belongs to a generation of DJs who weren't quite old enough to live the Portuguese rave era first-hand and instead got to know it through visits to record shops and whatever info he could catch on TV or on the radio. But the naive, minimalistic take on Chicago house, NYC tribal grooves and even early trance that was crafted in Portugal at that time stuck with him until the present day - that's why he founded Paraíso: a label, radio show and party that aims to rekindle the original flame of Portuguese dance music from the 90s.

For the first release on the label, he recruited some of the most active producers in Portugal's new generation. The record opener, 'Infesta' by Internal NY Rhythms (also known as Trikk, who's released on Optimo Music, Man Make Music and more) is a raw, melodic cut, punctuated by percussion that transpires tropicality. Emauz, one of Lisbon's most interesting new producers, delivers 'Pitched' - her debut on vinyl and an energetic and original belter, with a beautiful driving bass and effected claps and cowbells. On the Flipside, Violet (One Eyed Jacks, Rádio Quântica) delivers an unapologetic ode to early trance with 'Eternal fountain', all dreamy arpeggios and snare rushes, while José Acid's 'No Ego' injects the addictive, beautiful 303 sound into the equation, creating a sonic love letter to the pioneers of the very brand of raw, emotional dance music that inspired Portugal to have its own movement.

B1 - Violet - Eternal Fountain

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.
