'Ogazón is an artist that truly embodies the spirit of the music she plays. Releasing all inhibitions, she pours herself totally into her performances. Her approach is one of careful consideration, with the audience's journey at its heart. Deeply sensitive to the subtle and contextual nature of electronic music, she is equally adept at presenting both house and techno, often rendering the perceived boundary between non-existent. With forward-facing music that propels, she's able to make creative progress in an already well-established art form while remaining true to its fundamentals -the mark of a student truly passionate about their subject matter.’

As enamoured as Peter Kremeier was with the new sounds he was hearing, he was a soul boy at heart, sensitive to the emotional sway of earlier RnB and soul he now found beating at the electronic heart of boogie, garage, and subsequently house music. Even as a whole generation fell under the seductive spell of sequencers and synthesis, Kremeier still felt the funk guiding his assured steps forward in this strange new realm. Such is the nature of his hypnotic effect, you might easily lose yourself in one of these long-form jams, find yourself dancing away from the funk of the track in a dislocated fashion, only to come to and find yourself back in the groove anyway – in Losoul's hands, the groove is never just one-dimensional. Equal parts an expressive dreamer and a studious preacher, Losoul has metabolized the funk in an inimitable style that is still unique, and that continues to bear new fruit to this day. From his initial alias Don Disco to his now firmly-established Losoul guise, Kremeier has remained dedicated to the musical roots behind the electronic music wave, both as a producer and on stage. "Four beats, two claps – from there you can go everywhere." (Losoul, 1999)

Tropa Macaca is a project run by André Abel and Joana da Conceição, a Lisbon-based duo working in electronic contemporary composition. Their music has always been long, cathartic, and deeply poetic, as if looking for unfound places or trying to speak unknown languages. It is a ritualistic experience, where secrets unfold, and mysteries are forever shattered. Pure sonic hypnosis, filtering and crossing countless branches of experimental music.
