The Front Invites JOHAN

About the experience

Johan's real name is João. João was born in Setúbal in 1982. In the end of the 90's a whole new generation was starting to form, feeling and experiencing beats techno-flavoured, as well as industrial, hardcore and punk influenced ones from bands like Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, Underworld and so on - João is deeply influenced by all this atmosphere and is touched by the work of Plaid, Leftfield and Orbital. He then starts a daily playlist which opened the way for Johan to be born years later. From that playlist, other sounds and mixtures and endless nights in clubs are gathered, creating the necessary confidence boost and musical background for Johan to be born. Binary electronic music, shaped and modeled like a secondary skin. Rhythms with redundancies and syncopes almost at the same time.
