Counterpoint presents — Halloween Special

After three consecutive sessions where we had the pleasure of hosting international artists, we present yet another episode of the Counterpoint residency at Era uma vez no Porto. In what will be a special Halloween session, we take the opportunity to celebrate the Portuguese underground scene and everything great that has been happening here for many years.

Leading a luxurious national lineup, we are thrilled to welcome one of the most important names in the history of Portuguese Drum & Bass – @patmac. He is one of the key figures behind curating the beloved "golden years" of Drum & Bass in Porto, during which he actively contributed by promoting the national debut of some of the most influential acts in the genre. In that era, he ensured that each "Pendulum" or "DJ Fresh" was counterbalanced by a "Hive," "Gridlok," or "Alix Perez," thus helping grow an entire generation.

We are also welcoming @deejay_ki, one of the most experienced and influential DJs from the capital, who is also connected to the creation of the Counterpoint concept, particularly through the "Syndicate" promoter, which for years has promoted events linked to the deeper sounds of Drum & Bass, bringing artists such as dBridge, Sabre, and Icicle to Portugal.

Next, we have a rare and always unorthodox DJ set from the iconic @rato54. Known primarily for the energy he brings to the stage during his Hip-Hop concerts (either solo or with Doink), he will bring that same energy to the DJ booth, stepping out of his comfort zone to share his interpretation of our #basslinegroove.

Counterpoint's colors will, as always, be well represented. Original Pressure (@xeixas_counterpoint) will team up with the talented @ephe.may for an unexpected B2B set, which will undoubtedly leave a strong mark on the dance floor. Opening the night will be the newest member of our collective, Firexit, who will explore sounds ranging from Breaks, Garage, to Dubstep.
