December's full moon brings the last Selene Series mix of the year. Our 53rd selection wraps up a special year, in which we have had the opportunity to share countless musical adventures. We want to take this opportunity to send a heartfelt 'thank you' to all the artists that have been part of the Selene Series universe: those that contributed to 'The Continuum', those that released music we played in our mixes, and those that made us dream and dance on the dancefloor.  

For the year's closer we chose a sound that, although has been around for years already, we feel has definitely stepped up as a big reality in the 'deep and psychedelic music' realm. Some call it half-time, others tribe, other grey area... but this sound reaches beyond those labels. It picks from breaks, drum and bass, and it is infused with squelchy, wiggly sound design. Some interpret it as fast, some interpret it as, thus the name, half-time. The dancer decides. This sound is as relevant as ever, and we thought there was no better way to finish 2024. 

Blessed to play some music bysome good friends we made this year, thanks for sharing your art! 

Welcome back to Selene Series, see you when the moon is full...

To end a transformative year for the label we say goodbye to 2024 with an icon from the deep scene and amazing human being, Brando Lupi. Deep and classic Italian artist known for his eclectic style as a producer, musician, DJ, and photographer. Combining hypnotic techno with deep atmospheres, haunting melodies and visionary soundscapes, drawing inspiration from industrial rock, experimental and modern classical music.

Brando has a rich history of collaborations with talented artists such as Donato Dozzy and has made a name for himself in the global music scene. In 2000, he founded his independent record label, Detune Records, which has been a platform for his releases. His music has been featured on notable labels such as Kompakt, Orange Groove, Dewtone Recordings, Field Records, and Elettronica Romana, among many others.

One of Brando’s standout achievements was composing a score for the film La Solitudine Dei Numeri Primi (The Solitude of Prime Numbers), which was distributed by Medusa and included a soundtrack signed by Mike Patton, leader of Faith No More. The film’s music premiered at the 67th Venice Film Festival, marking a significant milestone in his career.

Currently based in Rome, the artist continues to craft and share his experimental and spiritual soundscapes with audiences worldwide, pushing the boundaries of contemporary music and art in general. Without more words, we let the music talk by itself. Thank you Brando.

EXIST

O percurso musical de Rui G. denota a sua insaciável curiosidade e dedicação à pesquisa sonora. Movido pelo desejo de explorar novos horizontes da música eletrónica, foi desenvolvendo a sua técnica com habilidade e sensibilidade, desafiando-se constantemente a construir narrativas musicais imersivas, onde cada set é uma jornada cuidadosamente tecida.

O seu fascínio pela eletrónica foi crescendo ao longo dos anos, permitindo um refinamento pessoal que culminou com a sua estréia oficial como DJ, em 2009. Nem dois anos depois, em 2011, aceita o convite para integrar o coletivo Elements, uma plataforma de renome dedicada à música eletrónica, sediada em Coimbra. Esta promotora revelou-se um marco fundamental na sua evolução artística, abrindo portas para atuar em eventos e clubes icónicos da cena eletrónica, tanto em Coimbra como no Porto. Foi ao lado de artistas que admira, como David Rodrigues, Nelson Flip, The Advent, Deepbass, Brando Lupi, Nobody Home, NTOGN, BLNDR, Antigone, Dorian Gray, Freddy K e Henning Baer, que Rui G. consolidou a sua identidade sonora.

Dedicado, curioso e ambicioso, Rui G. compromete-se a ultrapassar barreiras musicais, apurando constantemente a sua técnica, descobrindo e revelando novas nuances das paisagens sonoras que oferece ao público. Os seus sets transcendem géneros e desafiam perceções pré-concebidas, convidando o público a uma autêntica viagem sensorial, sempre surpreendente.

Nos últimos tempos, tem marcado presença em clubes de referência como o Gare (Porto), Stilvoll Club (Neuss, Alemanha) e KABINET MÚZ (Brno, República Checa). Em 2022, atinge um dos pontos altos da sua carreira ao atuar no Boom Festival (The Gardens), o maior festival de música eletrónica em Portugal.
