Cosmic Terroir #2 is an album of adventurous, unbridled tones to be enjoyed without moderation with the beer of the same name that goes with it. A drink raised with the sounds of the label, a little soaring, a little acid, like the music.
9 tracks signed by artists from 9 different countries, to stretch out and relax to a slow, psychedelic tempo. Then a beat also comes along, gently driving and exhilarating.

Switchdance - Robot's Dreams (snippet)

Creative offspring of the musical fantasies of @Tushen_Rai and @CorneliusDoctor, Hard Fist brings together a passionate, supportive and activist party scene. Celebrating a globalized - but far from rootless - dancefloor where Turkish psychedelia, Lithuanian cold wave, Central African percussion and Indonesian polyphonic chants blend, Hard Fist crosses time and borders with a singular attachment to the folk music of trance, the kind that marks spiritual gatherings and festive rituals. Shaping the technological meeting of man and machine, the Hard Fist sound brings the experience as much on the dancefloor as in the calm of a Bedouin tent, always off the beaten track, with a free heart and clenched fists.

The label has been releasing collective records with artists such as Bawrut, Balam, A-Tweed, Omri Smadar, Matias Aguayo, Fantastic Twins, Philou Louzolo, Deena Abdelwahed, Curses, Dengue Dengue Dengue, Martin Noise, J.A.K.A.M., Omar Joesoef, MR TC, Pletnev, Anastasia Zems, John Parsey, Errortica, The Juan MacLean, Khidja, Roe Deers, Cosmo Vitelli, Ground, Sascha Funke, Fargo Devianti & Vongold, Daniel Monaco, Fringe Society, Elfenberg, Timothy Clerkin, A-Tweed, Ko Shin Moon, Lokier, Pletnev, nICo, Strapontin, Simple Symmetry, Que Sakamoto, Kubebe, Jonathan Kusum, Kaan Duzarat, Los Ninos Del Parque, Feller, Mekine U Teksi, Bab, Linja, Lion's Drum, Mishell, Ayma, Kincaid, Balam, Juan To Tree, Mytron & Ofofo, Niv Ast, Damon Jee, Thomass Jackson, Rina, Fabio Me Llaman Soltero, Hipless, N.O.Y, Oded Gafni, Radial Gaze, Fabio Fabio, Omar Joesoef, Da Iguana, Neskeh, Warum and all artists that collaborated to our edit series Re-Phrase Collection...

Born in the early eighties in Lisbon via Goa, Marco Antão is the man behind the name SwitchDance - a monicker adapted from a skateboarding manoeuvre. He is a resident at Lisbon’s notorious Lux Frágil and is widely regarded as being one of Portugal’s finest and most adventurous DJ’s and producers, renowned for his highly eclectic, profoundly hypnotic sets. Known for his diverse musical palette and boundless creativity, Switchdance ultimately seeks to challenge audiences, all the while enticing them with a combination of music that draws equally from a comfortably familiar past and a distant alien future. Any and all boundaries are promptly discarded and conventions that seem to limit many other DJ’s are overcome with impressive confidence and audacity.
His residency at the aforementioned Lux Frágil has allowed him to share the booth with all of his favourite musicians and main influences. He has played at every significant club and festival in Portugal as well as all over Europe and was invited by the Red Bull Music Academy to play at two editions of Boiler Room. 
Taking his love of psychedelic arpeggios, gothic melodies and dusty drum machine-driven percussive moments, he distills and restructures these elements into a unique sound elegantly displayed in his productions showcased on labels such as Karakter, Beachcoma, Areal and, most recently, Innervisions - one of the biggest labels in modern electronic music. His track “O Amolador”, featured on the Secret Weapons 9 compilation, merges mysterious eastern melodies and kraut-rock inspired synths with samples that speak directly to the nostalgia of his youth growing up in Lisbon. It was this distinctive synergy that captured the imaginations of label heads Dixon and Âme along with countless others. With the success of “O Amolador”, Switchdance has been revealed as one of the most promising talents to come out of Portugal in decades.
