I'm going to head to Ibiza next summer for the second time and I thought about taking a week in Portugal first. I was just wondering if anyone could give me some insight on the scene there? Or maybe just point me in the right direction to look online for information.
Thanks A Lot!

Hey there,
well I don't know much about the scene in Porto or Algarve, but being from Lisbon and a DJ as well I'm usually aware of what's goin' on... there are 2 important sites to keep in your bookmarks during your stay here, which are www.noite.pt and www.dancefloor.pt .
I don't know when you're coming, but I just came from a party with Sasha headlining it (even met him/took a pic with him) and nick warren will be here as well as digweed, infusion, or kasey taylour.. it all depends on the week you're here.. but if it's august, lisbon usually turns to ghost town 'cos everybody heads down to the Algarve.. not that many progressive parties over there but, maybe this year will be different...
Anything just ask! :) |

| Hey thanks for the info! I'll be seeing Sasha a week from tonight in Philadelphia, USA. How was his set? I plan on coming to Lisbon either early July or late June. That should be fine right? Well thanks again! |

Sasha's set was great! I mean, I'm not sure if the majority of the Portuguese crowd liked it as they are more into tribal house/electro than progressive but the room was quite packed during his set.
Sasha's set was different from what I expected, he was headlining it from 6 to 8 am and he had a tough act to follow (DJ Vibe, the most popular DJ around here, who read the crowd very well yesterday) and he opted to present a more relaxed, beat-less set than I expected, plenty of breakdowns and all... I could barely ID his tracks but he did play the new Holden/Thompson "Come to Me" as well as "The Contended Gastronome (Kosmas Epsilon Remix)". That's all I could ID really :(
Anyways, as for your dates... I think John Digweed and Infusion are on the 16th of July.. we'll also have the Chemical Bros and Kruder and Dorfmeister on the 9th of July. I dunno about anything on the end of June but I'll try to find it. It will be mainly Summer Festivals though. There's not that much advertising about clubbing around here, well not about progressive house parties for sure, so I'll see what I can find! ;)
It's also always very difficult to get to talk to the big name DJs around here, take pics, get autographs, I don't know if you're that kind of guy, well I went through hell to get my sasha pic and autograph but hey it was his first time here and I had do have it right? ;) |

| Glad to hear Sasha's set was good. Don't worry about looking into what is going on for this year. I'm not going until next year. I was really just trying to get an idea of what to look into. I guess booking the ibiza trip this early has gotten me going a little early I guess but I can't help it. What kind of sets does DJ Vibe play? I haven't been able to find any to download. I listened to your May Mix and I have to say it was pretty good! Catch you later. |
