Exploring sound as dark nuances within clear exaltation of joy and sensuality, COSMO is pure sonic psychedelia driven by plunges of bass and drums!

From hard house and trance to electro, tribal, dembow and hyperpop - their sets are influenced by a wide range of soundshapes from the UK to Brazil, Dominican Republic, Argentina and Colombia. Ultimately alluring us to their perception of q***r emancipation.

Her name means 'dreamy cloud' in Dutch - but don't be fooled! There's nothing soft about this mix.

Highly influenced by hardcore, acid techno and gabber, droomwolkje defies us to be euphoric while remaining melancholic by building up the pace thoughtfully and creating a safe space for the expression of these emotions throughout her sets.

Get lost in an ethereal paradise of hard kicks and enthralling vocals - full mix out now!

APHOTICA invites TÖRIA for a new release: 'Timeline EP'

There's a touch of madness in the way she entices us to her music - TÖRIA is a pro on handling heavy machinery to provide us with raw, industrial, obscure sounds. And we love it!

Inspired by dark ambience noises, she's now devoted to bringing harder soundshapes to her heavily emotional tracks, often exploring feelings of brutal thoughts and insanity. This EP is the outcome of it all.

TÖRIA is supported by international labels like .scene, and Istigkeit, and has recently cofounded her own, OCCULT Records (.rec), being also a key figure in the future of underground raving in Algarve.

"Timeline EP" is out now - you can support it on our bandcamp!

02/04/2023

'Timeline' is a 3-track industrial techno EP produced by Töria, an artist based in the South of Portugal, known for her impressive devotion to obscure soundshapes and a constant search for heavy feelings through her music.

Dare to enter this cutting-edge atmosphere created by a dark and deep bassline often cut by sharp metallic sounds and ressonant kicks, from its fast-paced beginning to its sensual sudden end. An intense ride through three moments in time - the past, the present and the future.

Full EP out now!

3 track album

APHOTICAST #4: RÆKKE

If you’ve been paying attention to Lisbon’s latest line-ups, you should already know our next guest.

No presentations needed, Række brings us a fast-paced mix with a vintage feel, a hardtechno set with a touch of the 90s.

The Argentinian DJ and producer, currently based in Porto, is no stranger to Lisbon’s techno scene. You’ve probably danced to his powerful and groovy sets at Ministerium, LAV or NĀDA, and if not yet, most likely you will soon.

Række is also the founder of “Imminent Records” label and has just released his debut EP “Liminal Encounters”, so you can expect fresh new tracks on this new mix!

APHOTICAST #3: LAINX

We hope you had a blast on new year’s eve followed by a smooth recovery, we’re back!

To start the year with the best omen, we invited LAINX, breakout artist and loving friend of ours, to prepare the freshest and wildest mix just to set your bodies on fire in this cold winter 🔥

LAINX is the chosen alias of a Lisbon based hard stomper with influences from London’s underground scene. Their sets are ought to be personal, raw and intense, flowing between Hardcore, Trance and Acid but never taking one style for granted.

They’ve performed in venues such as Planeta Manas and NĀDA, in Lisbon, and they’re currently resident and part of the local collective 'Maythey'.
