Super excited to share this cover version I did for one of my fav tracks of one of my fav albums from last year, "The Visitor" by Matias Aguayo. Out not on Cómeme in CD and digital exclusively in Mexico, comes with versions by amazing artists like Djs Pareja, Phillip Gorbachev and more.

"Matias Aguayo’s latest album ‘The Visitor” was a great release and has still been playing here on rotation. Today, along with his Comeme family we get the chance to listen to ‘The Visitor” via the lenses of some pretty talented people and we get to hear their take on Matias Aguayo’s ‘The Visitor’. "

Matias Aguayo - Una Fiesta Diferente (Violet's version)

A cover of Underground Resistance's Detroit techno classic Transition made solely by women, in celebration of International Womens Day. This year's theme for IWF is "Make it happen" and this track that we all love and that influenced us deeply seemed like the perfect way to soundtrack our love for all women around the globe.
Produced by Violet, vocals by A.M.O.R., Coco Solid, Mamacita, Nancy Whang and Nightwave in English, Portuguese, Spanish and Maori.

A recording of my DJ set at the fabulous House Of Moda party at La Java in Paris. Picture a great gay party atmosphere with drag queens dancing and crawling around the mixer and decks (yep). Peak time, packed, mega sweaty celebratory vibes. Lots of tribal and tribal-inspired house, acid, some classics, some of my own music released and unreleased and plenty of Portuguese stuff. The smoke alarm went off one hour into the set, hence the sudden spinback (I cut the 5 min silence that ensued while security sorted the issue). Sorry for the distortion in the recording. Magical night with a super fun crowd. Unforgettable!

As the final part in a series of International Women’s Day collaborative covers that include Mike Dunn’s ‘So Let It Be House’ (2016) and Underground Resistance 'Transition’ (2015), Violet, Elles & friends flip the script on male-led dance tracks once more with all-female takes on Joe Smooth’s 'Promised Land' and ‘I Need A Freak’ by Egyptian Lover, plus an all-portuguese cover of Underground Sound of Lisbon’s ‘So Get Up’.

Violet one-hour DJ set at REIF001, Berlin

Lisbon is enjoy plenty of time in the spotlight at the moment, not least thanks to artists like Violet, who is busy on many different fronts at once. As a lone force she producers anything from big techno breakbeats to rave tinged acid house. Next to that she’s also co-founded Radio Quântica, which is an essential platform for local underground artists and activists. She also performs as part of an all female rap group and covers classic tunes made solely by woman. Besides that, she even found time to start her own new label, Naive, this year. 

It should come as no surprise that such an active mind packs a lot into her 75 minute mix. Tripped out cosmic breakbeats kick things off before the drums grow more distorted and synths begin to howl as you’re dumped onto a dance floor at 3am. A subtle rave euphoria washes over the mid section before dusty breakbeats and slippery electro see things out. Despite the driving nature of the underlying drums, this is a mix that exudes warmth, soul and romance.

Dekmantel Podcast 203 - Violet

Lisbon continues to thrive musically and Violet is one of the city's most active artists. Paraíso is her natural habitat - she contributed to the first-ever record on the label and has remained in its inner circle.

'New Visions' is Violet's testament of a love for ever-evolving sonic languages while doing a notable job in encapsulating her myriad influences. From the acid-tinged, moodier palette of the One Eyed Jacks days to the jungle-influenced sounds expressed in her latest works to the very early influence of 90s portuguese dance music, this EP embraces it all - and then some.

The title track seems to speak of hope and resistance, layering oneiric arpeggiated bleeps with deconstructed breaks and a heavy sub that morphs into a drone wave, washing emotions anew. Kaos V, admittedly a homage to the sound of the iconic label Kaos that pioneered a local, stripped down dance sound in Lisbon, sounds like a mysterious prophecy, equal parts ancient and futuristic.

Junqueira is a left-of-centre roller that resorts to metallic synths, raw drums and even a digi cello to manifest a sense of club unity. The record closes with the slower-paced syncopated groove of High In Forest Hill: a dancehall-referencing bass sits under acid modulations, eerie vocal synths and a snare drum that just won't stand still.

Since participating in the Red Bull Music Academy 2008, Violet has made a name for herself as one of the most inventive producers on the Portuguese dance music scene. Her latest EP, 'New Visions', shows off her colorful palette and varied brushstrokes in four intriguingly dissimilar tracks. Starting off the record's b-side, "Junqueira" demonstrates Violet's ability to sculpt each element in a tune with utmost precision. There's something almost unsettling about the track and yet it keeps the wheels spinning with its propulsive groove.

Violet's 'New Visions' EP is out on Discos Paraíso February 22nd and can be pre-ordered here: https://lobsterrecords.co.uk/products/violet-new-visions
