Underground Sound of Lisbon

The Underground Sound of Lisbon project was a seminal collaboration between acid house musicians and producers Rui da Silva, then known as Doctor J, and Tó Pereira, known as DJ Vibe. Active between 1993 and 2001, the duo began their journey under the tutelage of Kaos Records, founded by António Cunha. In 1994, they released the single “Chapter One”, which took the dance floor by storm, but it was with the track “So Get Up”, released in the same year, that they achieved greater visibility and recognition.

This work featured the participation of Darin Papas, from the band Ithaka, who performed under the pseudonym Korvowrong. The music mixed tribal and hypnotic rhythms with apocalyptic vocalizations, capturing the attention of renowned DJs.

“So Get Up” received significant exposure in prestigious clubs such as those in New York through DJ Danny Tenaglia, a prominent figure in the electronic scene. Shortly afterwards, the album was distributed by Tribal America in the United States, further expanding its impact.

As the 90s progressed, the project’s sound evolved, exploring new directions until the duo decided to follow different paths. Rui da Silva settled in London, where, through his own record label, Kismet Records, he began to remix and produce a diversity of artists. For his part, DJ Vibe continued to travel the world, performing his sets in some of the most renowned dance clubs. The trajectory of Underground Sound of Lisbon remains a milestone in the evolution of electronic music in Portugal and internationally.

Αυτή η συνεργασία είναι ένας τέλειος συνδυασμός ταλέντου και φρεσκάδας. Το πώς οι διαφορετικοί ήχοι των καλλιτεχνών ενώνονται σε ένα τόσο αρμονικό αποτέλεσμα είναι κάτι παραπάνω από εντυπωσιακό. Σίγουρα θα περιμένουμε με ανυπομονησία και την επόμενη τους κίνηση
