LISB-ON<\/a><\/b>,
\nyou\u2019re peculiar, I\u2019ll give you that. For once, it\u2019s great to attend a festival in which the action takes part mainly during the afternoon, leaving the last act to
\nclose until midnight because there will always be dancing fools until the end.
\nBut, sure, if you\u2019re not one of them, you can leave the festival just in time
\nfor dinner, which is something admirable in this day and age. Why do you think
\nmatin\u00e9es were such a big thing?<\/p>\n

And then
\nthe other peculiar aspect, who shouldn\u2019t be that peculiar as well: Eduardo VII
\nPark is one of the must-see places in Lisbon, and the most big\u00a0<\/i>central
\npark of the city, a perfect place for a festival, especially during the afternoon.<\/p>\n

Taking this into consideration, what if we told you that there\u2019s definitely great dance music in this
\nline-up? That\u2019s right, and we\u2019re about to check up all there is to see. So keep
\nreading and see if it fits your taste.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Saturday 5th<\/sup><\/b><\/p>\n

It\u2019s ladies
\nfirst! Isilda Sanches<\/b>, better known
\nas one of the faces of R\u00e1dio Oxig\u00e9nio, one of Lisbon\u2019s best alternative radio
\nstations, will have its DJ skills tested, choosing
\nsome dance songs as she\u2019s used to on the radio. Can\u2019t be that different, right?<\/p>\n

So, what\u2019s Fandango<\/b>? It\u2019s the junction of two very
\nexperienced musicians from great Portuguese bands \u2013 Gabriel Gomes with S\u00e9tima
\nLegi\u00e3o and Madredeus, Lu\u00eds Varatojo with Peste & Sida, Linha da Frente e A
\nNaifa \u2013 trying to bring very Portuguese instruments and musicality to the
\nelectronic based music they\u2019re playing. Interesting, at least, should be
\nquality live.<\/p>\n

Much better
\nknown to the audience is Mirror People<\/b>,
\nX-Wife\u2019s Rui Maia\u2019s dance project. Here he will summon The Voyager Band, and I
\nmust say I\u2019m very curious to check how this will be brought live. I can say I
\nalready saw Mirror People as a DJ set (no music of his own but a nice set), as
\na live act (on Vodafone Paredes de Coura, and it was okay, but the songs could\u2019ve flow better), and now we\u2019ll see how we\u2019ll do it in a proper
\nconcert.<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/figure>\n

Very
\ninteresting Portuguese acts so far, but how\u2019s for a headliner at 6:00 PM? It\u2019s Nicolas Jaar<\/b> and he really needs no
\nintroduction. There\u2019s two new EPs released this year (Nymphs II and III),
\nsoundtracks to two movies, one being the winner of Palme d\u2019Or at Cannes,\u00a0Dheepan<\/i>,
\nbut there\u2019s still the critically acclaimed Space Is Only Noise<\/i> back in 2011
\nand the collaboration with Dave Harrington, DARKSIDE, now on hiatus. It\u2019s a
\nmust see.<\/p>\n

Speaking of
\nthe youngsters (Nicolas Jaar is, like, my age, FML), Palms Trax <\/b>started professionally just in 2013 with the Equation EP,
\nbut shows signs of knowing the old school back to the 80s. Really excited to
\nsee this prot\u00e9g\u00e9e of the Berlin scene, to the point of living there this
\nBristol born fellow.<\/p>\n

Speaking of
\nthe devil, Nina Kraviz<\/b> may be Russian (I think), but she\u2019s got the Berlin scene
\nall over her DJ set as well. It\u2019s up to this fine looking lady to close the
\nfirst day of the fest, giving us a practically 3 hour set. Be ready to feel the
\npedal!<\/p>\n

\n

Sunday 6th<\/sup><\/b><\/p>\n

Moving on
\nto the second day, it\u2019s up to the music journalist, DJ and basically Portuguese
\nscene guru Rui Miguel Abreu <\/b>to warm
\nup the stage for the later acts, turntabling some funk, soul and jazz hits for
\nthe crowd. Expect a sort of musical lesson while you move your feet and be
\nready to press Shazam!<\/p>\n

One hour
\nlater, time for other Portuguese fellow to bring his electronic music act
\nalive, being Mr Herbert Quain <\/b>doing
\na live act in collaboration with VJ Jo\u00e3o Pedro Fonseca. Let\u2019s hope this collab
\nstill works during daylight, if not well, bringing your sunglasses may help?<\/p>\n

Next, time
\nfor another tag team, Andras & Oscar<\/b>.
\nWhile Andras Fox works on the producing of countless and contagious electronica,
\nOscar Key Sung puts his sweet voice to the action. The result
\nshould be a classy house jam for all the duration of their set.<\/p>\n

But the
\nreasons why Sunday will be a hell of a festival day are still to come, and for
\nstarters one of them is Jazzanova<\/b>.
\nSomewhat of a historical act by nowadays, but not that much, releasing three
\nalbums in the timespan of 13 years (yeah, that\u2019s some work they put on each record),
\nbut occupying their time in remixing other artists, these German giants will
\nform a band, inviting the singer Paul
\nRandolph <\/b>to put on stage a brilliant act of chill-out, jazz house music.<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/figure>\n

The other main reason to come to Eduardo VII this day is, of course, Todd Terje<\/b>. Not only because of \u201cIt\u2019s Album Time\u201d, one of the
\nfundamental albums of 2014, but because, as you may have read, it\u2019s yet another
\n\u201cLive Act\u201d. And if you haven\u2019t seen videos of the band Todd Terje managed to
\nform performing these songs, well, prepare to be VERY amazed. It\u2019s a whole
\ndifferent feel to see real strings of even Terje Olsen (real name) playing the
\nkeys to their own songs. It\u2019s a blast.<\/p>\n

And guess
\nwhat? Yup, the day will end with a big German electronic DJ, how\u2019s that for a
\nchange? But no mind, Michael Mayer<\/b>
\nknows the stuff and not only his extensive discography proves it, but also some
\nwell know remixes to some famous bands, like Depeche Mode or Pet Shop Boys.
\nIt\u2019s a great way to end the festival and a great way to remember this LISB-ON is all about a concept and bringing quality acts that feature well on it.
\nThat\u2019s the way to bring a festival alive, and you may bet next Saturday there won\u2019t be as much excitement about other events as much as there will be about LISB-ON.
\nWe\u2019re on!<\/p>\n
