OCTOBER TONE PARTIES

The Franco-Brazilian trio PPJ (Páula, Povoa, Jerge) doesn’t just light up the dancefloor – they break down borders between continents and music genres with effortless flair. Their sonic alchemy blends baile funk and samba from Brazilian favelas with the raw energy of European club music. Picture a wild cuíca riding a thunderous kick drum on “Bicha,” or a delicate bossa nova guitar floating over UK techno beats in “Beijo.” PPJ is a musical journey that refuses to stand still and shatters clichés – just like your body.

Far, far from the clichés of electro-oriental music, Keyvane Alinaghi, alias Hassan K., transcends Persian music by merging it with modern technologies. A DIY artist and fervent defender of free culture, he unashamedly mixes East and West: bellydance, surf music, swing, cybermetal, film music and harsh noise. A multi-instrumentalist, he tweaks, twists and boosts traditional oriental instruments, such as the electric setar or the robotic santoor, so as not to get stuck in the virtual. Live, he takes you into an experience as energetic as it is transcendent, where each note makes you vibrate a little harder.

Constantly oscillating between the ridiculous and the sublime, KG never fails to surprise by distilling unhealthy danceable electronic instrumentals with retro-futuristic accents. But not only that. KG doesn't choose, he navigates between styles and mixes languages, like a sound wizard. KG joins October Tone to bring his absurd poetry, celestial sound textures and sense of self-deprecation.

Everybody loves Rachid Bowie.
