We are glad to invite @a_cigarra for the Trouble Mix series debut, our monthly guest release.

Born in São Paulo, the city where she grew up in the daily flows of immigration and developed street expression tactics in party collectives, she has been a DJ, performer, music producer and cultural agent for over 15 years. She dedicated half of this time to the Lisbon scene in partnership with the city and dissident artists, had her parties resident in the city's main venues and is an agent of the rise of street carnival in Portugal. Carniçeira, BLOCU, MeioFio (Festival Alkantara), Ancestrofuturismo, SOMA, Hystereofônica, Roda de Sample are some of the projects she has spearheaded over the years in research into decolonial crossroads.

Cigarra performed at festivals in more than 10 countries across Europe, with one album (as Trypas Corassão) and two EPs released and tracks on various compilations around the world, in addition to writing original soundtracks for dance, performance and cinema shows. Her music brings an engaged and seductive research, crossing diasporic marginalities with the commotion of pop and experimental subversion. Crispy and creamy, to the venous extent that makes the track sweat.

Super honrada de apresentar artista convidada para o mês de março, além de grande amiga é uma das minhas DJs favoritas em Lisboa: @ntriangulontriangulo

Sua malvada favorita. 
Performer, Professora, Poeta, Perigosa. N▲N▼ (Lê-se: Nany) é uma artista multidisciplinar brasileira imigrante em Lisboa que usa de sua musicalidade para criar narrativas provocantes e implacáveis. 
Mestra no violino, sua sonoridade,  ao mesmo tempo catártica e abissal, são desdobramentos da ancestralidade musical do Nordeste do Brasil, sua terra natal. N▲N▼ processa a efervescência do frevo, a pungência do maracatu e a transcendência dos pontos de Orixá das nações Ketu e Nagô para propor respostas em forma de som para perguntas como "Quando foi que eu entendi que era preta?" ou "Como eu aprendi a lutar pelo meu corpo?". Suas composições usam o improviso como fio condutor para nutrir cenas peculiares e inesquecíveis.

Trouble Mix #4 INJETORA

For the program of this month we are glad to present the amazing @4leakim


Aleakim is one of the projects of Mikaela Pimentel, born in Olinda and based in Rio de Janeiro. She has been involved in the Rio electronic scene since an early age, initially as a promoter and, since 2020, as a DJ-selector. She is part of the Rio collective Escola de Mistérios and a resident DJ for the party collectives Inception Rio and Mov Festival. In her sets, she dwells in the intersection between the abstract sounds of Detroit techno and the syncopated percussiveness of Afro-diasporic rhythms.

Always in dialogue with the dancefloor, her work aims to create an atmosphere of introspection, dissolution and catharsis without being limited by BPMs and musical genres. She has performed on online radio programs, both nationally and internationally (Casa Caos, Function, Root - TR, Planet Ibiza - ES), as well as at parties and festivals such as O/NDA, Gruta, Domply, Festival de Ativação Urbana (FAU) and Rock the Mountain.
