Lisbon-born CRAVO has shaped his sound through study, community, and a steady respect for swing and syncopation. Trained in audiovisual arts, his first steps in music happened in 2007 through reggae and dub while at Caldas da Rainha. PeterSmiling and the I’n’High Sound System gave him stages and a first set of original tracks. In 2010 he turned to techno, pivoting to a tempo and palette of textures that were once off-limits. In 2011 he formed -2 [menosdois] with Vasco Guerreiro, exploring the rougher edges of the genre and creating small experiments that became the blueprint for what was to come.
That circle widened in 2017 with HAYES Collective, a platform CRAVO helped shape alongside his friends VIL, Temudo, Nørbak, Enkō, and Autrane. Together, they built a catalogue and a dedicated following, quickly becoming one of Portugal’s leading techno imprints. Today, his sets and music releases share a clear internal thread. There is soul and a forward pull in all of his work, and his tracks carry the weight of a broad musical experience. As a solo artist, he focuses on techno and house lineages that value emotion without losing drive.
CRAVO’s releases are spread across a multitude of labels, notably on Klockworks, SK_Eleven, and HAYES, with new steps under his own label, Carícia. Curation is also part of the work: in 2021 he joined Enkō and VIL to start SUMMA, an event series now regular at Outra Cena in Lisbon. The room’s post-apocalyptic architectural mood sets a frame for forward-thinking techno with hints of the classic school. Slots usually run long, often three or four hours, and upcoming national artists are given space to build trust with the crowd , creating an atmosphere that feels a little like a cult—restrained but powerful.
More than a decade after his initial foray into Barcelona’s underground scene, Kevin Schwantz has maintained his vision of electronic music as a fuel for social change. He recently launched his own label, Tourian Records. Simultaneously, Serkin remains deeply involved in managing and organizing events for the Technodrome Barcelona collective, which he has represented since 2009. Through this project, he fights against all odds to provide a musical alternative for the city, strictly guided by his ideals and principles. Finally, alongside his long-term partners, he directs and manages Celobert, a series of events focused on supporting the electronic music scene.
DJ Agata’s debut in the legendary Villarosa booth marks a natural turning point in her journey. After refining her musical identity through smaller parties and independent spaces—where she earned recognition through sharp curation and intuition—Agata is now stepping onto the main dancefloor. Her sets are defined by a careful sonic exploration, weaving a fresh, direct, and organic connection with the crowd. She arrives at Villarosa ready to prove that the most authentic club culture stems straight from the roots of the local scene.
