Consider for a moment a band of sweaty musicians playing "C Jam Blues" in a San Francisco basement, watched closely by a handful of Zen lunatics whose one and noble function is to cross the country from coast to coast and then back again, with faith in nothing but closeness, intoxicated enlightenment and the infinite bliss of the road.

"Lost, Beat & Bop" is Fulano47's payback to Jack Kerouac and his generation of Dharma Bums, politely combining electronic sounds with spoken word, and bringing live instruments into play in a reckless attempt to revive forgotten rituals and the casual grace of the dead Beats.

Each track is driven by its own narrative, chords and beats eminently determined by words and meaning — Slim knows time, he knows time! — Adopting Deep and Tech House as medium of choice, "Lost, Beat & Bop" is essentially about the message — Move! — and about the uncontainable feeling of existing simultaneously in two different times.

Smooth talk aside, as Kerouac himself once said, the only truth is music, and tangible proof of this are the exquisite remixes that complete the EP, singularly crafted by Miguel Torga, Ramboiage and Bangkok Snobiety. With this first solo release, Fulano47 is set towards the crossroad where rupture and togetherness meet, with nothing behind him and everything ahead of him, as is ever so on the road.

Could any other electronic act trace their moment of creation to a shamanic orgy set in Minho, the mystic heart of northern Portugal? Psychedelia and social discontent are the prime ingredients for the ghetto-esoteric menu presented by Jesus K and the Sicksicksicks. As rock and electronic music collide to form the jagged core on which they build their tightly packed sound, one shouldn’t be too surprised if at times it assumes unexpected forms like Folk, Pop and Latin rhythms.
 
Facing a world that day after day grows more and more dystopian, Jesus K traded economic crisis and austerity for the universe inside a paper wrap. Playful and insurrectionary, their music ultimately declares dance as chosen vehicle of exorcism and transformation, a truth which becomes undeniable once you experience their ferocity live on stage.
 
Two years after “Sexy Cyborg Shark Dance” was included in Freima Lab’s debut compilation “Weather Forecast”, it is with infinite love that the label now releases this first EP of the duo from Almada. “Brujeria Digital” exists in a limbo somewhere amidst romantic tunes and bacchanalian rituals, between an unstoppable beat ripped from the guts of their machines and the gallant cries of the guitar. In spite of all the parallels and paradoxes one thing remains certain: Jesus is amongst us and he does K.

Aiming to publish forward thinking Portuguese electronic music and to establish a sense of unity within the diversity of the underground national scene, Freima Labs was born in 2012 with the well-acclaimed compilation “Weather Forecast”. Between 2013 and 2015, several notorious EPs and free downloads were published, featuring artists such as Miguel Torga, Reverb, Naus, Lukkas and Fulano47, amongst others.
 
After almost three years of radio silence—during which Freima Labs’ members are believed to have enlisted a Shaolin Monastery near Dunhuang—the record label is finally transmitting again with yet another compilation: “11 Years of Omega 3” celebrates the 11th anniversary of the radio show broadcasted by RUM (Rádio Universitária do Minho) and hosted by King Fu, a Freima rebel himself since the dawn of time.
 
On-air every Saturday since 2007, the Omega 3 radio show explores a wide array of electronic genres from the past, present and future, showcasing music from the four corners of the globe, while keeping Portuguese creations under a conspicuous spotlight.
 
Featuring both established and emerging Portuguese artists, the compilation “11 Years of Omega 3” is envisioned to open way for a progression of brand new releases that will soon hit a frequency near you, so you’d better stay tuned.
