DENGUE DENGUE DENGUE
Dengue Dengue Dengue is a Tropical Bass duo. Behind the masks are Felipe Salmon and Rafael Pereira, two producers, dj’s and graphic designers from Lima, Perú. Their work explores the rhythms from Peru and other parts of the world, recreating them electronically by mixing new and old, analog and digital, to create a unique sound and visuals. Their musical explorations go from psychedelic cumbia to dub, from salsa to footwork, from tribal to techno. Their visual and sound palette continues to grow and add new flavours to this melting pot.
In 2024, the cutting-edge club troubadours shared their first EP in almost two years, AGITA2, released via Florentino’s Club Romantico. Mixed entirely by themselves for the first time, this five-track odyssey oozes in Latin-adjacent rhythms and drums, pushing the duo into a new sonic realm that once again breaks the rules of the DNGDNGDNG output.
Felipe and Rafael carefully lure you into their twisted world of electronics and spit you right back – a musical experience equivalent to a forgiving Venus flytrap… a masochist musical experience that will keep you coming back again and again. A unique allure which encapsulates everything from Singeli to Doble Paso Reggaeton, distorted kicks and disjointed breaks with harrowing siren calls and orchestral synth hits – it’s a tripped out, fully unhinged experience which only these pair of lofty sorcerers can conjure up.
12 years in the game, the duo are still outdoing themselves and expanding the size of their sonic universe at every turn. That’s a feat not many in the realm of club music can claim and they are still having bucket loads of fun in the process.

TUERCI-CORE
(Nidi d’Arac + Mundial)
Tuerci-core is a live music project resulting from two music bands, both from Salento, merging their experiences which revolve around world beat: the decades old experience of Nidi d’Arac and Mundial’s neo-electronic ethno experimentations.
After debuting at the Festival ‘La Notte della Taranta 2023’, Tuerci-core, a name inspired by the muse of dancing Terpsichore and that plays with the sound of the local dialect’s word meaning heart-throbbing, offers a show that incites dancing and evokes a trance state in the audience, in a smooth, liquidly fluid progression.
The acoustic instruments of Nidi d’Arac in the first part of the set meet with impressive percussions in the second part, merging with loops and synthesisers in the third part, till culminating with Mundial’s dance floor.

CHANNEL ONE
ft. RAS SHERBY
Established in the late 1970s by siblings Michael and Trevor Bailey, Channel One Sound System originated when they were passed control of their father’s Admiral Bailey sound. They introduced the sound to nearby blues parties and dance events. The choice of the name Channel One was a tribute to the iconic Channel One studio in Jamaica, a place from which the brothers procured many of their records. During this era, accessing new reggae music proved challenging for Jamaicans, as it was not featured on radio or in local nightclubs.
In 1982, Channel One started performing at Notting Hill Carnival. Set up by London’s Caribbean community, Notting Hill is one of the largest street festivals in the world. They have performed here every year since (except for the covid years). Channel One Sound System has been a prominent and integral part of the Notting Hill Carnival, an annual event held in London that celebrates Caribbean culture, particularly the Afro-Caribbean communities. The sound system has played a significant role in shaping the musical landscape of the carnival and contributing to its vibrant atmosphere.
Channel One is led by Mikey Dread, original selector, who plays a strictly vinyl selection from his one turn table. Alongside Mikey Dread are various vocalists and MCs who compliment the music with Rastafarian song and chanting. Current MCs are Macky Banton and Ras Sherby. Channel One play a unique selection of conscious reggae, exclusive dubplates and uplifting steppas. Channel One’s hand built sound system provides a rich heavyweight bass sound, which compliments their tight selection of old and new roots music.
Channel One’s mission is “to break down barriers via reggae music”, they have achieved this by travelling and playing to new audiences and venues all over the world. .
Channel One’s profile has gone from strength to strength, holding a residency in one of London’s coolest warehouse venues – Village Underground. Channel One have taken their sound system to festivals all over Europe, as well as performing DJs sets all over the world, including Colombia, Mexico, India, Nepal, Thailand, Dubai and many more.
Channel One never fail to provide upliftment with their positive music and message.
Instead, the communities organized blues parties and shabeens, where sound systems played the latest and most popular reggae tracks.

GO DUGONG live band
Italian producer Go Dugong and Venezuelan musician Washé crossed paths in Caracas in December 2022. Their meeting was a stroke of serendipity, bringing together two souls driven by a thirst for the unknown, a yearning for the ethereal, and an awareness of the transcendental. Both artists created music inspired by ancient rituals and shamanic chants, but they did not know each other.
HAPE Collective brought them together, leading to a collaboration in a Caracas studio and a transformative journey into the Amazon Forest, where they challenged each other’s perceptions of nature
G O D U G O N G is an Italian producer, DJ, musician, and cosmic traveler, Giulio Fonseca. A global sound lover, his productions are an intricate patchwork of rhythms, languages, instruments, field recordings, and samples from all over the world that Go Dugong weaves with the passion of a collector and the meticulousness of a craftsman. The result is animated by a global energy in constant evolution.
WASHÉ is a musical project directed by researcher Carlos Conde, developed with the support of renowned researchers and direct connections with more than twenty indigenous communities of Venezuela. Founder of Ethco Records and the group Etnoe3, Carlos promotes in all his projects a refined combination of Venezuelan indigenous instrumentation, Afro- Venezuelan drums, and percussion instruments with electronic music.
S I M B O Simbo is a DJ, producer, and founder of HAPE Collective. Known for breaking cultural and stylistic barriers, he engaged with global rhythms in Senegal, Cuba, Congo, Laos and Venezuela. In Chad, he founded Pulo NDJ, released on Wonderwheel Recordings. In Venezuela, he has been at the forefront of several artistic projects, including this one.
GUSTAVO VERA, multimedia documentarian and visual artist, was born and raised in Venezuela.

CUCOMA COMBO
Cucòma is the boiling coffee pot, in the Adriatic coast of Romagna region. The different qualities of coffee coming mainly from Latin America and Africa represent the sound and artistic experiences that the leader Marco Zanotti (also director of Classica Orchestra Afrobeat and visionary artist), Sardinian singer Martina Fadda, avant-garde flutist Fabio Mina and the whole band have ground out.
Rough trombone, acid synth, soukouss guitars, Colombian gaita and plenty of tribal voices are just some of the features of the band, all of them boiled out of a big Cucòma on the most exotic region of Italy.
An exciting music meant to be danced and sung (in Italian, Sardinean, English, Spanish, Portuguese), meant to move, to wake up. As a good coffee.
“Above all, the new boiling energy of pan-rhythmic music, the awakening dance of joy, the experimental space for ambitious arrangements and free-improvised parts of colorful horns.
From Black Africa to South America, we travel on paths of Congolese soukuss and Amazonian carimbò, between accents of Colombian cumbia, kalimba vibes and tribal voices. We find seeded traces of space-funk and afrobeat, with amazing acid keyboards and an enchanting female voice.” (Andrea Simoniello)
