Sirenessa (they/al/elle)
Vanessa is a self-taught, multidisciplinary performer and producer based in Lausanne. Working under various aliases, they explore different creative mediums. Sirenessa is a DJ project that pays homage to bass music. By blending a range of musical genres, the project aims to create a sense of catharsis for both body and mind.
Shaka Lion
‘Chameleonic, dynamic, absorbing. Shaka Lion is a wandering spirit in a constant revolving state of change, an artist who mixes music with life experience in equal parts. Born in Brazil, and embraced by Lisbon, his career so far is remarkable: Establishing himself in venues such as Music Box, Lux and Frágil and the curation at Lisbon’s Iminente Festival of urban culture as well as his travels and performances around the world which have led to appearances on London’s Rinse FM, projects with Daily Paper, releases on Los Angeles label Soulection and collaborations with American producer Sango. Shaka Lion is rhythm and joy and midnight sun. He’s both what you hear and what you see.”
Ohjeelo
Binghi is a multidisciplinary artist from Rwanda whose work fuses sound, visuals, performance, and poetry to explore identity, liberation, and the politics of self-expression. Deeply rooted in her cultural connection to drums and ritual, her practice creates immersive experiences that center healing, sensuality, and spiritual resistance. Drawing from influences like soul, hip-hop, and ancestral rhythm, Binghi reclaims space through storytelling and sound—refusing formats, embracing transformation.
DJ Nigga Fox
With his ‘O Meu Estilo’ 12” EP debut release in 2013, DJ Nigga Fox crashed the gates with his visionary music as part of Lisbon’s Principe Discos crew who have been showing an exciting youth and sonic culture nurtured out of the Portuguese capital urban and suburban areas into a EU widespread diaspora. His follow up on Príncipe in 2015, the extraordinary and next level 12” EP entitled “Noite e Dia”, had Resident Advisor praising “the four tracks [of the EP] are so bizarre and delirious they’re almost intimidating, and yet they’re exuberant in a way that could liberate dance floors.” In early 2017 he followed with the one sided 12” “15 Barras”, a soundtrack to an unrealized collaborative installation. The long form composition in it is a four-part movement of virulent acid, screeing strings and crowd noise unfolding over a seamless 15 minute arrangement, pushing his music to new conceptual limits. ‘Crânio’, his debut on Warp Records arrived in 2018. Six tracks of shapeshifting dancefloor psychedelia, or as Phil Sherburne aptly introduced it for his Pitchfork review “for his first release on Warp, the batida and electronic musician puts forth his own meticulous, otherworldly sound and reconnects with the avant-dance spirit of the label’s early years.” In late 2019 Príncipe published the supreme ‘Cartas na Manga’, his first proper full length. Beyond notions of history and African culture in Portugal and Europe, how it breathes and transforms that which is still from the streets, what the Algorithm rules and the State legislates, his is a work that is the fruit of his genuine gesture as a composer and producer, renewing time and time again the pleasure of free crossbreeding rhythm & sound. By Summer 2020 live gigs were all but terminated but Nigga Fox was feeling countercyclical. He began morphing his set into a nonstop organic entity rather independent from the actual existence of a dancefloor. Príncipe released the fruit of this new practice in the Spring of 2021, the live recorded cassette “Live Nigginha Fox”. Ever since he has been fine tuning his live act and achieved enthusiastically received performances in London’s Somerset House Studios 5th anniversary bash and the Sónar Barcelona edition in the fall.
The composer, producer and deejay released a new EP on Príncipe titled “Música da Terra” on February 11 of 2022, and embarked on yet another tour of the East Coast of the US and México the following month. In the spring of 2024 arrived the new album ‘Chá Preto’. Once again highly celebrated by music writers, its ‘RA Recommends’ seal review in Resident Advisor hailed it as “The defining Príncipe artist returns with a transcendental shift in sound.with a transcendental shift in sound”.
