“I'm part of the noise ... I can't get out”

He has always been a music enthusiast and is curious and always digging for new music . Pedro focuses on alternative music but collects vinyl from multiple genres . As a DJ, he plays indie dance, electronica, melodic house, afro house, and alternative music . Indie dance was the trigger for his DJing, and he was inspired by labels such as DFA and Discotexas. Pedro's love for music is evident in the lyrics of Best Youth & Moullinex's song, masterly remixed by Xinobi, that says, “I'm part of the noise, I can't get out, I'm part of the noise, You know I can't get out” . For Pedro, music is therapy, allowing him to put his daily stress and cares on the back burner for a bit and decompress .

Sound artist Vallechi builds a sonic journey which taps into the recesses of our inner-most being, awakening feelings of self-connection and melancholia, impelled by a desire to initiate positive change in the world and to help us understand our fundamental place in it. 

Through electronic-based albums, live shows and immersive events, Vallechi creates new spaces, and ways, to re-engage with sound. Within our subconscious sits the potential to re-orientate our view of our past, in order to ignite a more liberating future. By remembering better, we live greater. 

In constructing an alchemic merging of music and media, Vallechi creates a one-of-a-kind dream universe: inviting the listener to engage with the deeper mysteries of existence. Club-friendly rhythms weave over ethereal soundscapes and soul-enriching frequencies. A core of uplifting, euphoric chords, mines our minds: digging deeper into aspects of the human experience. Peace can be made of traumas, dreams can be touched, soul stirrings can spark in communion, the beginnings of an enhanced connection to all things can be nudged alive. All the prospects lie in us, sometimes something just needs to inspire them into being.
