Black Pomade

27 listings in 15 named rooms, over the last three years · Milan

Influenced by the sound of Chicago House as well as the Riviera House scene of the ’90s and early ’00s, he's known for a melting pot of analog synths, groovy basslines, and syncopated rhythms. His sets travel through classic House, Acid, Detroit Techno, and Progressive House—striking the right balance between cheeky grooves and psychedelic soundscapes, taking the dancefloor on a journey of high energy and big smiles.

Between 2021 and 2023, he ran a residency at MusicBox Lisbon focused on connecting the Italian and Portuguese scenes. Besides his regular shows in Lisbon and Milan, throughout the years he has had the chance to bring his sound around Europe and Asia, playing in places like Bangkok, Seoul, Tokyo, Osaka, London, and Sofia, among others—sharing the line-up with artists like Emmanuelle, Kamma & Masalo, Hunee, Don Carlos, Satoshi Tomiie, and the living legend Nicky Siano. He has also contributed to renowned podcast series, including a full mix for the long-running channel Gazzz696, awarded Mix of the Day by Resident Advisor.

Their rooms

One tick a night, on the one axis this page has — Aug 2023, where the listings start, to Jan 2027, the last night anybody has announced. The shaded end has not happened yet.

Once each: MAD Radio NYC, Outer Heaven, Suono, H0L0, Reforesters Laboratory, Eavesdrop, Signal, Mansions, Razor-N-Tape Flagship Store and Archivio Records. Five of the 27 listings never named a room, and are not counted as one.

Who they play with

Counted from the bills themselves, over bills of twelve names or fewer. A pair's count includes a night that is announced and not yet played; where there is one, the row says when.

Every one of these resolves on Discogs; the ones that do not are not printed. What Discogs files them under is not printed either — its label column carries mix series as if they were imprints.

The nights, the rooms and the bills are the listings themselves. The biography, the labels and the photograph are Resident Advisor's. The records are Discogs'. Nothing on this page was written for it.
