DJ Firmeza (PT)
DJ Firmeza proudly herald’s from the Quinta do Mocho hood, where originators Nervoso and Marfox reside too, and is a revered and unmatchable DJ in the wide community and youth culture who live and breathe this music. He is a master of a unique percussive-heavy trance-inducing style to the art of mixing, which also makes him an acclaimed regular on Príncipe’s monthly residency at Musicbox club in Lisbon. He has been playing out in a wide amplitude of contexts and settings, from a Berlin’s Schinkel Pavillon terrace party to a Bienne’s geodesic compound in the woods, from a wrap up party at Germany’s pavilion at the Venice Biennale to a memorable performance in Lowlands festival, besides a couple of US & Canada visits in the last year and touring lyf in Beijing, Shenzhen and Seoul. In the last stages of 2017 he saw the release of “Pai Nosso”, a short essay film centered on his present day life directed by new-york director Clayton Vomero. This year he has contributed music for The World Isn’t Everything for Telfar’s SS2020 collection.
