A bit late to the game, but gotta thank @lisbondancesummit and more specifically @joycemunizmusic who talked me into doing a 1h workshop on the sold-out first edition of this awesome conference.
On “Identity Through Sound” I went over a few creative ways of providing one’s signature to audio. Together with the crowd I took a sample I found on YouTube and shaped it in the way I would do for my project Alfonsvs and then I took the approach I would use for Rave Child.
It really brings me joy to exchange knowledge with other people interested in electronic music so never be afraid of reaching out and sending me a message with your latest drafts. 👌🏼
Thank you LDS once again for giving me the platform to share what I usually do closed in the studio all by myself.
Shoutout to @anjaschneiderofficial@mathewjonson@sventoering@yen_sung and every speaker and person I met sharing valuable insights during the day I was around.

Kokölò - 4 years tour
w/ Adriana Ruas e Alfonsvs
A Four Years Tour chega ao Algarve com um formato back-to-back no Art Haus Club, em Faro, organizada pela Kokölò Records, label portuense fundada em 2022.
O evento celebra a identidade da label: liberdade musical, sem géneros ou regras. Em destaque estão os cofundadores Adriana Ruas e Alfonsvs, que tocam juntos pela primeira vez no sul do país.
Adriana Ruas destaca-se pela versatilidade entre house e techno, com atuações em várias cidades europeias e estreia recente como produtora. Alfonsvs traz mais de uma década de experiência, reconhecimento internacional e apoio de grandes nomes da eletrónica.
Juntos representam a essência da Kokölò — evolução contínua — numa noite que marca os quatro anos da label.
Pre-venda no link da bio.

Spotlight on: Alfonsvs at the Lisbon Dance Summit.
Representing the raw, industrial edge of the Portuguese techno scene, Alfonsvs has become a staple for those who seek uncompromising sound. He joins the conversation to discuss the resilience of underground culture and the sonic identity of Lisbon’s late-night circuit.
Grab your pass and join the conversation.
2 weeks ago in the US I met lovely people, found great records in New York, spent 48h in California and played an all night set at the beautiful @kikuroom.sd where I think I made very good friends ❤️
I also got a few firsts:
- first time seeing snow all around me and feeling a -6C breeze 🌬️❄️
- first time at the Pacific Ocean
- first time in California and enjoying spring weather on the first days of January.
Thank you to everyone who made this trip so nice and to @boomservicenyc , @humanheadnyc , @brooklynrecordexchange , @a1recordshop and @academyrecords for providing me with great records 🤙🏼
Can’t wait to be back!
It’s so good to be back home in Porto 💕
Thank you @ferro.bar for all the effort and the dancers for working the floor all night long with me.
It’s not the first time playing at Ferro, and honestly it’s probably the best dancefloor in Porto at the moment, with a very mixed and open minded crowd and an interestingly diverse schedule.
I’m already planning my return in a couple of months 📆🌈
