Gwo Ka is music born in Guadeloupe and stands for big drum. It is the union of music, dance, and spirit. 
Two drummers are playing a specific rhythm as the base. The “Makè”, the third drummer, is placed at the center to follow, feel and whisper any of the dancers gestures. He matches the rhythm and energy of the dancers, becoming their shadow, and establishing a real dialogue between them. 
With my project I want to translate the rhythms of Gwo Ka in every upcoming mix. 
There are seven specific rhythms.
This one is "Mennde", dedicated to celebration and escape.

Enjoy

"Gwo ka is a dance of improvisation, a dance of the instinct, of the moment…
It´s dance of resistance, of resilience and adaptation: A Dance of Life"

THERE IS NO MOVEMENT WITHOUT RHYTHM

MENNDE

Techno -- Minimal Techno -- Melodic Techno -- Acid Techno

Blurring the lines between sound, memory, and movement, João (sibi-lo) sculpts immersive sonic worlds where hypnotic techno, deep trance, and atmospheric leftfield intertwine. His sets unfold like a lucid dream—fluid yet precise, pulsating with hypnotic intensity, and laced with textures that slip between the cerebral and the primal. An attempt to analyse and transmit a soundscape that translates as an imprint of place, memory, and human experience.

Surrounded by music from a young age in a musical family, he first studied the jazz flute, developing a sharp ear for tone and movement. Later, a background surrounding anthropology, language studies and photography unlocked a deeper fascination—one rooted in the way environments hold sonic imprints of history, movement, and memory. His fascination with sound as a form of communication shapes his sets into deeply narrative experiences, where hypnotic pulses, atmospheric fragments, and deep, driving percussion weave together like echoes from familiar landscapes. 

Rooted in the underground currents of Lisbon and London, sibi-lo draws inspiration from the raw emotive depth of Portuguese classical music and the forward-thinking pulses of artists like Luigi Tozzi, Spekki Webu, and CCL. Since stepping behind the decks in 2024, sibi-lo has played across London and beyond, with international sets in Moldova, Romania,Portugal and Belgium. His sonic explorations extend into radio, where he curates two monthly shows: Aural Almanac on SET Vault, a meditative ambient exploration of sound, memory, and place through field recordings, and SOMNA on Voices Radio, a channel for his deeper, driving club sound—hypnotic techno, progressive wobbles, and deep trance mechanics.

EERSTE COMMUNIE RESIDENT

Guided by the rhythm of drums, his musical journey is defined by hypnotic introspections and consistent energy flow. It is precisely the union of these elements which allows the mind to wander and the body to keep moving. A strictly warm and organic sound, dominated by low frequencies and percussive elements is Windfuhr’s signature touch. 

Music as a tool - to explore himself and to build a dialogue with the audience. His Guadeloupean heritage enables him to capture and adapt the musical tradition of `Gwo Ka‘ - which in Creole means “big drum”- into each one of his mixes. Gwo Ka is the combination of sound and movement through the rhythms played on the drums and the dances of the audience. In its traditional form, drummers and dancers merge into an infinite interaction of rhythms and gestures giving life to a communal performance. 
Inspired by his roots, Windfuhr translates this tradition into contemporary soundscapes with the aim to emphasize the connection between dance, spirit and music. The philosophy of communication through sound lies at the roots of his passion: by reading and understanding the energy of the dancers, he becomes their shadow and allows the creation of a story where everyone is the author. 
To connect with people but also to disconnect from reality sums up his commitment to this form of art.
