Blurring the lines between sound, memory, and movement, João (sibi-lo) sculpts immersive sonic worlds where hypnotic techno, deep trance, and atmospheric leftfield intertwine. His sets unfold like a lucid dream—fluid yet precise, pulsating with hypnotic intensity, and laced with textures that slip between the cerebral and the primal. An attempt to analyse and transmit a soundscape that translates as an imprint of place, memory, and human experience. Surrounded by music from a young age in a musical family, he first studied the flute, developing a sharp ear for tone and movement. Later, a background surrounding anthropology, language studies and photography unlocked a deeper fascination—one rooted in the way environments hold sonic imprints of history, movement, and memory. His fascination with sound as a form of communication shapes his sets into deeply narrative experiences, where hypnotic pulses, atmospheric fragments, and deep, driving percussion weave together like echoes from familiar landscapes. Rooted in the underground currents of Lisbon and London, sibi-lo draws inspiration from the raw emotive depth of Portuguese classical music and the forward-thinking pulses of artists like Luigi Tozzi, Spekki Webu, and CCL. Since stepping behind the decks in 2024, sibi-lo has played across London and beyond, with international sets in Moldova, Romania,Portugal and Belgium. His sonic explorations extend into radio, where he curates two monthly shows: Aural Almanac on SET Vault, a meditative ambient exploration of sound, memory, and place through field recordings, and SOMNA on Voices Radio, a channel for his deeper, driving club sound—hypnotic techno, progressive wobbles, and deep trance mechanics. ❤️
