THROWBACK THURSDAY!

Browsing YouTube the other day and found the BBC had this clip up on their channel from the last time we did AVA Festival in 2023.

Our whole set was broadcast live on the BBC's site at the time for Across The Line, wish we still had all of the footage! Still though, good times 😎 taken in Titanic Slipway by @blark_absolutely

BACK ONCE AGAIN WITH ANOTHER BELFAST DEBUT🤠
4th September we welcome @cravo_hayes to Ulster Sports Club.

Lisbon-born CRAVO has shaped his sound through study, community and a steady respect for swing and syncopation. Trained in audiovisual arts, his first steps in music happened in 2007 through reggae and dub while at Caldas da Rainha. PeterSmiling and the I’n’High Sound System gave him stages and a first set of original tracks. In 2010 he turned to techno, pivoting to a tempo and palette of textures that were once off-limits. In 2011 he formed -2 [menosdois] with Vasco Guerreiro. The duo explored the rougher edges of the genre and created small experiments that were the blueprint for what was to come.

That circle widened in 2017 with HAYES Collective, a platform CRAVO helped shape alongside his friends VIL, Temudo, Nørbak, Enkō and Autrane. Together, they built a catalogue and a following who listen closely and affectionately to its output, quickly becoming one of Portugal’s leading techno imprints.

Today, his sets and music releases share a clear internal thread. Call it a vibe if needed. There is soul and a forward pull in all of his work, and his tracks carry the weight of a broad musical experience. As a solo artist he focuses on techno and house lineages that value emotion without losing drive. CRAVO’s releases are spread across a multitude of labels, notably on Klockworks, SK_Eleven and HAYES, with new steps under his label Carícia.

Curation is also part of the work. In 2021 he joined Enkō and VIL to start SUMMA, an event series now regular at Outra Cena in Lisbon. The room’s post-apocalyptic architectural mood sets a frame for forward-thinking techno with hints of the classic school. Slots usually run long, often three or four hours, and upcoming national artists are given space to build trust with the crowd. The result feels a little like a cult, restrained but powerful.
