"DJ Lycox" Concert

Afropop/dance/electronica - Portugal/France

He was born in Lisbon but now lives in Paris, where he’s a leading figure on the electronic music scene. In Portugal, he adopted batida as his style, a fusion of Afro-Portuguese sounds such as kuduro, tarraxinha and kizomba. But Paris introduced him to sounds such as coupé-décalé from Côte d’Ivoire, techno, electronic dance music and even music from the Middle East, all of which are now part of what he plays and produces, while remaining rooted in batida. Percussion plays a key role in his music, with dozens of discrete drum loops, all rippling in a vast polyrhythmic mesh. This warm acoustic palette also includes humour, an element gently woven throughout DJ Lycox’s music.

For all audiences
