courtroom drama
Driven by a post-genre sensibility, his shapeshifting musical output bends tension, texture and groove through leftfield optics, playfully weaving his Latin heritage with elements of soundsystem culture into abstract, whimsical and kaleidoscopic club music.
Holding a frequent presence on underground airwaves, he has racked up appearances on Shella Radio, Radio Tempo Não Pára, Radio Radio FM, East Side Radio, Clyde Built Radio and Radio Buena Vida. On home turf, he hosts Uneven Oscillation at Refuge Worldwide, a show that knits together the narrative threads of Música Popular Brasileira from the 70s to the present, tracing tonal and sentimental parallels with adjacent sounds spanning post-bop jazz, progressive folk rock and experimental electronic music.
As an independent promoter, he curates events where community takes center stage, showcasing emerging local talents alongside established names of the underground such as Appleblim, Dangermami, Chediak, DJ Plead and ophélie. Now part of VINTENOVE BAILES, acting as a resident DJ and booker, courtroom drama reaffirms a commitment to amplifying diasporic narratives in underground electronic music.
