Principe

Lisbon - Portugal

Príncipe is a record label based in Lisbon, Portugal, founded in 2011. It is fully dedicated to releasing 100% real contemporary dance music coming out of this city, its suburbs, projects & slums. New sounds, forms, and structures with their own set of poetics and cultural identity. They want to make sure that amazing works produced there, be it house, techno, kuduro, batida, kizomba, funaná, tarrachinha, or any other new aesthetic development, will not remain unheard outside of our clubs, cellphones, and homes anymore. All artworks were conceived & executed by Márcio Matos. All copies are individually stenciled & handpainted – so each record is unique. All sound mastering is done with philosophy by Tó Pinheiro da Silva, a veteran Portuguese sound genius, at his home studio.
