Serginho and Zé Salvador carry between them decades of the craft, a resolute dedication everyone can see and feel. Their sets are a labyrinth of old and new alleyways and their presence always brings a sense of déjà vu. Vinyl-built and intuition-driven, they walk through Porto’s formative years and Lisbon’s current glow, bypassing nostalgia in favour of freshness.
Each plays a mixture of house and techno with an ease born of fluency. Zé might surprise us with a groove that unfolds slowly across time, where a soft breakbeat hangs just a little longer to test the room. Serginho with a surgical leitmotif, trained by the after-hours and the low ceilings, where a record’s value is measured only by its ability to bend the moment.
Together, they beep and bop safely across the heavens. Unshowy, detail-rich, groove-anchored.
A duo with lots of tricks up their sleeves.
