all about love for this institution! 🏢
this one felt personal and special. i’m just grateful for all of you. i think this was my favorite time at the house so far, and i’m looking forward to many more!
special shout-out to my brother @_fam.s9 and to my brother from another mother @ricardop.kk for coming through and supporting. (flashbangs all over 🤪)
Marcal (@marcal_____ ) is the 486th guest of our original HATE Podcast series.
_
Marcal is a Brazilian artist whose forward-thinking approach to techno continues to reshape the contemporary landscape through hypnotic storytelling, intricate sound design, and powerful rhythmic precision.
Rooted in the contrasts of Brazil’s cerrado landscapes and the mechanical textures that surrounded him growing up, Marcal has developed a sonic identity where organic energy meets futuristic architecture. His productions are driven by captivating groove structures, tribal undercurrents, and immersive atmospheres, balancing raw instinct with meticulous detail.
Known for crafting deeply narrative DJ sets, Marcal moves seamlessly between psychedelic tension, driving hypnotism, and sci-fi-inspired intensity, maintaining a fluid sense of progression that keeps listeners fully locked into the journey.

my second time closing this amazing club and its such a unique vibe… it was a very quick and stressful travel as I had a cancelled flight on my way in to the gig but gladly I managed to arrive around 2 hours before the set! still played almost 7hours which flew by with the energy from the crowd. i cant thank you enough and hope to come back soon!! ✌🏼✌🏼
such a great time in @fvtvr_paris anniversary last weekend. played a bit earlier than supposed to cover Blasha & Allatt’s delayed flight and it was such a nice ride! can’t wait to come back to Paris. one of my favorite city to play nowadays, loved the energy of the crowd and the club itself.
