James Grouper, the artistic embodiment of Tiago, navigates the electronic spectrum through a deeply personal lens. Rooted in introspection and conceptual layering, his sets unfold like intricate dreamscapes demanding not only attention, but reflection. Each journey is a deliberate construction, where the unexpected coexists with the familiar, inviting listeners to lose and find themselves simultaneously.

Based in Portugal and co-founder of Vinculum Festival, James Grouper plays a vital role in shaping forward-thinking narratives. His work is grounded in authenticity, abstraction, and the desire to share transformative listening experiences. With a sound that dissolves boundaries and redefines structure, he stands at the forefront of a movement where sound is more than music, it's meaning. Obrigado, James.

For the first time we open the live recordings from Vinculum — to stretch the memory of those who were there and to spark the imagination of those who haven't found us yet.

We begin with Forest Drive West — an hypnotic drift where techno and jungle fold into each other. Atmospheric, deeply rhythmic, always in motion, carried by intricate percussion and a momentum that never breaks.
He leads this release for a reason — mirrors with rare clarity what we pursue: variety that breathes, consistency that never falters. Enjoy!

Recorded live on sunday — 13.07.2025

GENRES ARE FOR JOURNALISTS

"To embark on these profound and hypnotic sonorities, you are asked for commitment and abstraction."

If music is the human expression of the world's natural energy and nature is the physical manifestation of it, Vinculum is the intrinsic bond between both.

Porto based label and event promoter est. since 2019.

Infused deep platform taking form through a sense of communion between image and sound as two parallel realities.
