Inside the African community, you'd listen to kizomba, semba, funaná, coutorne, rumba, kuduro...
All those influences that you implement in your music, that, then, create the feeling of a unique sound.
I don't know if it's a Lisbon mix or a Europe mixed with Africa.
I don't know what it is, I know it's something new.
I'm DJ Marfox, I was born in Lisbon, I'm from Lisbon, I make kuduro music.
I'm one of the people driving of this new music, which is produced in the outskirts of Lisbon.
New to a lot of people, but very old for me, because I've been a producer for over 12 years.
I'm DJ Firmeza. I'm from Portugal.
I started making music when I was 13. 13 or 14 years old.
I'm Valdemar, better known as DJ Maboku.
And I came from Angola when I was 6 years-old.
I'm Nigga Fox.
I'm a producer and DJ. I produce tarrachinha, kuduro, afro-house,
and, sometimes, I mix techno with afro-house...
I do different things.
I think that's what's evident in my music, in Nervoso's music, in Firmeza's music, Nigga Fox...
We all have a very strong identity,
despite those who don't know the Príncipe label
thinking that we're all "flour from the same bag"
that we all belong to the same gang
and that we all work the same way.
No, each one has their own creative process,
their way of seeing things
and has their own tastes in music, as well, innit?
Most of my music has the African part, the electronic part
the hip hop part, as well, which I sometimes incorporate...
It's a mix.
I join everything in one single tune.
I picked up a bit from here, a bit from there, a bit of everything,
and I mixed it in a single style.
I don't have a name for that style.
If people want to give the style a name, go for it.
I don't know how to define the name of my music.
The music emerges when I find myself in my room, by myself, lovin' it...
"This one is just right, it's just right, it's just right, yeah".
Yeah, I don't give it much thought.
I just create for the sake of it, I do it all according to my own rules, however I like, you know?
When I think the song is alive, for me, it's got the "power"!
And the strength in a song, sometimes, isn't in the melody.
The melody is something that helps, you know?
But the strength lies in the... in the bass! You know that.
It came to that point when... I had to make my own music, as well.
The other DJs did it, I also wanted to do it.
I don't have a fixed place where I produce.
Two speakers, a computer, a Maschine Jam are enough to make good music.
I use FruityLoops the same way I can use the Maschine,
now that I have the Maschine, I can use both.
I think you have to do an upgrade to begin to understand how you can make better music.
You have to go in search of a new sound.
So, I think that there's always a learning process, of trial and error.
When I'm working with Maschine Jam, can be a DJ and a producer at the same time.
Being able to do it live, recording and "tap, tap, tap, tap, tap", that's top, man! It's top, top!
When you're making a song, if your neighbour says
"Hey, neighbour, that song is good", it's because it's really good!
Do you get me? That's the cool thing about us...
I think the groove that comes from a lot of my music
has to do with feedback I receive from neighbours,
from friends, of things that are close, innit?
Knowing that there are people outside of Portugal listening to my music,
asking for "more, more", you know? That's one of the things that drive me.
Someone from China, listening to my music from here...
straight from my room, I don't even have a proper studio, it's a pleasure.
When I see that people are touched by my music
and it makes them experience emotions that they weren't expecting to find in my music...
That's it, that makes me happy.
That makes me go home and sleep with a clear conscience.
