@djxmantis


DJ mantis is an iconic sound source of machinery and hard bumpy sounds. His Hard Dance Boiler Room has echoed strongly in the way we've enjoyed music and bafoonery down at kit ket.
With this mix he energises our dormant raving locked down hearts giving us a useful utopia of what it'll feel like to be back on the dancefloor and not being able to leave it. 

In their own words: 
"dear all. this mix is a loveletter to the vast reservoir of energy inside you. crystallized vibes of pure uncrushed motivation. administer however you please🥲"

PODKET 013 _ DJ mantis

@europainflames

europa delivers a masterful podket that genre-hops, groove-twists and binds together familiar well known references with unknown otherworldly feelings. 
while every track feels completely separate from the one before, the mixing and curation notes a strong grip on narration and cohesion.

such as in his own productions, europa marries the sentimental cheesy beauty with the hard and rawness of the club.
do you remember what it felt like stomping and crying at the rave?

kicking off 2022, we throw it back to the floor with this sexy edit. A kaptcha exklusive by @sollbruchstellekrrk, exciting and refreshing duo based in Germany. 
in their words:

"this one is a gritty ballroom, acid techno and jersey club inspired banger breaking musical and cultural boundaries all to make your hands and legs move in ways they never did before."

master: @jitterrr

[exklusive] Sollbruchstelle -  she just wants to feel herself but you want her to kill herself

not only is @phoebephoebephoebe one of the most active voices in lisbon's community in the past years, he is also an amazing producer. we are extremely happy to introduce Phoebe - CLUB TOOL to the exklusive series. 

in their words:
"i usually don't have the chance to make this kind of club oriented tracks, but I felt like the turning of the year would be a good opportunity to show the more 'dancefloor' side of my productions."

from the first listen, this housey club track had us bounce in our living rooms, and we can't wait to dance to it with you in one of Phoebe's next explosive sets.

[exklusive] Phoebe - CLUB TOOL

'affection 143' is the first track out in advance of our beloved resident @sashatheft debut album 'Amphibian Intermission' coming out in full on the 18th of March in our Bandcamp, Soundcloud and in all other streaming platforms.

while clubs and parties were opening across Europe in the summer of 2021, the Lisbon rave scene slept like there was no tomorrow to wake up to: @sashatheft stood awake reminiscing on the times that gatherings brought nothing but pure joy to their spirit. with the aid of an old and heavy laptop, ‘Amphibian Intermission’ was born by symbiotically joining these feelings to the need for self-expression in less physical strategies twined with rookie playfulness.

‘Amphibian Intermission’ is the manifestation of a sentimental rave; a hybrid between blissful sounds that transport you to the 90s and a construction that could only result from our current days. a 40-minutes experience that seem to go by in a blink of an eye, with each track materializing a different sonic landscape that cohabit the same ecosound-system. willingly refusing to abide to genres, ‘Amphibian Intermission’ stands as a paraphernalia of rave music.

@firest-prod is the italian duo of gabriele dessì and alessio bologna. we first heard their music in a weird moment in our label's process. uncertain whether it would become a vessel for publishing more personal projects or a platform in of itself. from the first demo, Firest's unique spin on production, recruiting analog synthesis, sensual vocal samples and distorted n glitched out percussion, helped solidify our view. their composition is experimental, flowing through hyperpop with a gentle touch of club music, and somehow, it all just feels intimate.

in their debut EP, 'Skin Fading', they blend dreamy and melancholic melodies with gritty drums using different electronic music genres as their framework. the result is something equal parts oneiric and violent, frantic yet peaceful; a highly rhythmic and bittersweet atmosphere carefully glued with focused choirs and voices.

we can't wait for you to listen. we can't wait to play their music. we can't wait to see what they do next.

in their own words: "Skin Fading is the first experiment of a long-term project that aims to convey multiple sensations simultaneously. the starting idea for each jam session was to generate very different emotions using melodies, drum sounds and create texture with vocal samples. these raw emotions packed with unpredictability and combined with typical club momentum, evoke meditative states while feeding the desire to dance in the listeners."

the first track in advance of @postcarboncollective first ever release 'MechaWorks' is our resident's @quendera 'sanidid [qdrone V0.7]'. full release is out on June 3rd in their bandcamp & soundcloud.

MechaWorks is a journey through the insides of the Machine, first with eerie tones and meditative melodies and winding deeper, down, evolving into an exploration of boundless soundscapes where a vast extent of human emotion is paired with an electronically organic sensibility. several artists looking in through different lenses at the same intrinsic simulation.

it is a compilation of different artists, mostly based in Lisbon, making use of different techniques, softwares and hardwares, uniting under the same concept of the Machine, each producing a sample of a different facet of its hegemony.

MechaWorks travels into and through consciousness to connect with something below, something common, something unconscious.

100% of the funds gathered from this compilation will be donated to Casa T - a shelter for trans & nonbinary immigrants in Lisbon. alternatively consider donating directly to Casa T following this link: gofund.me/b53b0cb2

@vani_t

the mix provides a glitchy cowboy ride with distorted vocals giving you specific instructions, entangling with the sickest beats   

an in-between of sassy high hats and beautiful tranced choruses giving 4/4 a good name;  

consistent in quality and rhythm not dropping the ball for a second, the mix outlines a harsh softness guaranteeing an emotive response from the listener while making it impossible to not feel the rave inside it

"Belfast born, Berlin based VANI - T is the co-creator of  femme foward queer party CLIMAX with mixstress in passionate crime LUCY X focusing on the persuit of pleasure, consensual chaos and the search for truth in all musical forms. 

Vani-t aims straight towards your sacral chakra. A discogs maniac on an obsessive hunt for theE musical truth with a sweet spot for slept on talent. Muggy, grubby eclectic selections. Whole wave , new age , no wave. Dark, light, cold and warm wave . Sun salutations moving the body between hot, hard house and deep earthly awakenings."

PODKET 07 _ Vani-T

@spinningdjenny is the most infamous duo right now playing all raves and clubs north and central of Portugal.

Made up by Joana Moura Ferreira and João António Sousa, these Three-Named-Ravens are undeniably fierce dancefloor commanders. Confidently playing Ghetto-Techno and Trance they're guaranteed to always be a fucking mood.

Started at Radio Universidade de Coimbra (RUC) where they maintain their shows to the day and prove time and time again their collection is an endless sass fest. 

Part of Instrumental Violence, a Coimbra based collective, running actual underground events and booking the newer most urgent acts in a chaotic good fashion. 

For this mix no need for long descriptions: bitch bangers only at 160 bpm.

@djgenderfluid
this a very special comeback for our podkets
if you've been to our gatherings you're sure to have listened to a beast remix of this anonymous entity on our dancefloor,
dj genderfluid has been blessing us with fast sexy versions of pop's most prestigious and some important non-binary anthems  in their own original productions 

this mix is a refreshing spacey nostalgic moment perfect for a tough lockdown
  from bouncy fun to texturised trance to vocal focused breaks, from floor bangers to well earned relief moments, dj genderfluid has a firm grip in taking us up and down, inside out

in their own words:

"dj genderfluid is the elusive techno trance star of queer techno label WET TRAX based in Toronto, Canada. They burst forth onto Techno Twitter in 2019 with the undeniably banging debut track “squirt (hard techno edit)” which received immediate support from such iconic DJs as Chippy Nonstop, softcoresoft, Ariel Zetina, and Miss Twink USA. Since then, they have released 2 albums titled “150 genders per minute” and “rave angels” on WET TRAX, a hard house vinyl EP “I Want You” with Melleefresh on Play Records, and a collaborative LP with Chippy Nonstop is expected in Spring 2021."

@st4cey4101 @stacemp

although stacey has never attended a kit ket, he is definitely in on the sonic frequencies we find at our debauchery gatherings
he met resident ketia in their australian tour when they played the same party and quite rapid and easily created a togetherness kind of bond which has been maintained through overseas kinship and mutual inspiration
their productions have quickly caught the local and international ears that look for sassy vocal club bangers as Stacemp
As stacey he explores his more emotional vocal side, indulging deeply and cutely  in his love for his friends w cheesy perfect lyrics 

the mix is drum heavy, vocal driven and moan-a-plenty ;* exploring sensuality and daring to expose us to uncommon melodies and chord progressions, leaving us both uneasy and at ease. 

in his own words:
'Born on the GoldCoast living in Brisbane, Stacey is the cute, bitchy alter ego to StacEmp. Working in a music scene dominated by a somewhat hyper masculine vibe, the majority tends to stay naive and over look the artists, sounds and cultures that define our party scene, and with that are hesitant to push boundaries and express themselves in a more authentic way. Stacey looks to break down the music norms and inject a more high spirited queer energy, inspiring listeners to embrace their beautiful and sexy fem qualities.'
