// LAGOOS (Canary Islands)
Migrating from Tenerife, LAGOSS is an experimental cyber tropical trio, featuring Daniel Garcia, Gonçalo F. Cardoso, and Mladen Kurajica. Seasoned musicians, they've left their mark through projects such as Gonzo, GAF, Papillon, Tupperwear, Salétile, and collaborations with São Paulo Underground and Rob Mazurek.
While their debut album, 'Imaginary Island Music Vol.1', received widespread acclaim for its unique take on corrupted exotica —earning praise and airplay on BBC Radio (UK), RAI (Italy), WFMU (USA), Blow Up Magazine (Italy), ToneGlow (USA), and ChainDLK (Germany)— their 2nd album, 'Imaginary Island Music Vol.2: Ascencion', was released in April 2023, blending classic sci-fi themes with modern tropicalia and twisted exotica.
LAGOSS's dynamic live shows have graced alternative music venues across Europe —including Café Oto (UK), Strange Brew (UK), OCCI (Netherlands), Recyclart (Belgium), ZDB (Portugal), Passos Manuel (Portugal), and Sala El Perro (Madrid— and USA —Zebulon (LA) and the Bandcamp space (Oakland)— having also presented special showcases at MAAT Museum in Lisbon and Keroxen Festival in Tenerife.

// TIAGO SOUSA (Portugal)
Self-taught pianist and composer since 2006 building a markedly minimalist and contemporary path, especially from the moment he begins to compose under the sign of the Organic Music; albums: Ripples on the Surface (Holuzam 2022); and Organic Music Tapes series (Sucata Tapes, Vol. 1 – 2021 and Vol. 2 – 2022).
Accustomed to composing with the desire to search and discover, in a process of constant evolution that happens in an open and shareable way, his music exists as a relatable, genuine and honest event.
Tiago Sousa is currently living a particularly rich period of creation where we find, in complement to his compositions for piano, a strong presence of the electric organ, which reveal a decisively sonic motivation, influenced by the American minimalism of the 60s, in particular Terry Riley, Steve Reich or Philip Glass.
At the same time, a new character takes over Tiago’s piano vocabulary. Here we find organic compositions, in a fluid state, which form nebulae of sounds with indeterminate contours. Compositions that come to life through the same process that shapes mountains, rivers, grain in wood or the markings in Jade.
He has performed all over Portugal — at events and venues such OUT.FEST, Festival de Sintra, Teatro Maria Matos (Lisbon), Casa da Música (Porto), Galeria Zé Dos Bois (Lisbon), Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation (Lisbon), GNRation (Braga), Casa da Cultura (Setúbal), Teatro Académico Gil Vicente (Coimbra), Teatro Viriato (Viseu), Culturgest Foundation (Lisbon), Festival Bons Sons (Tomar), Centro de Artes (Sines) — and at other European destinations —Cafe Oto (London), Ancienne Bélgique (Brussels), Scheldapen (Antwerp), Le Bourgh (Lausanne), Heliogàbal (Barcelona), Incubate Festival (Tilburg), Les Pies dans Les Nuages (Rennes),
