Valentina Magaletti and Nídia fuse their musical backgrounds and genre affinities into a fresh form of dance music.
Valentina Magaletti is a drummer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist. Her versatility allows her to incorporate instruments ranging from marimba and contact microphones to found objects. She feels equally at home behind a delicate ceramic kit as she does hammering out motorik rhythms.
Nídia is an Afro-Portuguese electronic music producer and DJ. Her rhythms draw from kuduro and afro-house dance styles. She layers synthesizers, raw clap patterns, whistles, and percussion samples with sliced, looped fragments of her own voice.
