LISBON-BASED ARTIST
COLLECTIVE CIRCUS MAXIMUS PREMIERES ITS DEBUT RELEASE
After setting the tone for Lisbon's resurgence on the globalized electronic music stage with Infestus' debut “Tigre EP” (still available for free download), this up and coming artist collective further establishes itself as a force to be reckoned with as it steps up its game to become a full fledged digital label. "The Circus Maximus EP" brings together three tracks from the imprint's founders and earliest supporters, which includes all new original tracks by label-head and synth wizard Infestus, co-founder and tropical techno advocate Rastronaut and engineering prodigy Daino. From the ravey stabs of 'Praia City Ravers' to rolling percussive workout of 'Natty' and the the lush and hypnotic chords of 'HapTic', the boys have banded together to create a diverse and stimulating EP that showcases the many different sides of the new Portuguese electronic music scene, all in one record.

First up we have 'Praia City Ravers', a
physical and pumping ravey workout by RBMA alumni and Lisbon underground rising
star Infestus, the founder of the label and brains of the operation, who
masterfully blends hardcore aesthetics with a firm techno pulse, thick driving
bassline and acid-tinged stabs. Lisbon rap fans will be in for a treat as the
young producer warps a Nigga Poison sample into the mix, the undisputed kings
of Cape-Verdian rap, further demonstrating the Lusophone influences that shine
through his work. Expect a lot of hands in the air when you hear this one being
dropped on an unsuspecting crowd.
Next up we have 'Natty' by Rastronaut, a
personal take on dark and moody techno with a dubby twist from the eclectic
Portuguese producer, fusing pumping bass and relentless kickdrums with
reverb-filled stabs straight out of a smoky 70's Jamaican studio. Energetic and
soothing at the same time, this track takes the EP into gloomier territories,
while still maintaining that tropical aroma that seems to be the common element
between all the wonderfully diverse music being made in Lisbon right now.
Last but not least we have Daino's track 'HapTic',
a jazzy funk-tinged and garage-influenced number, a light-hearted melodic
workout that's sure to bring smiles to dancers as it draws parallels to some of
Lone's early work. Lush rishing chords and colorful melody swirls are held into
place by a dynamic beat, which brings all these elements together to create a
very soulful, musical and unique approach to club music. This is also the
Lisbon producer's debut release, so expect many great things in the future as he
sets the bar really high for himself and everyone else with this dreamy number.
This eclectic trio is starting to make waves on their
hometown through a constant output of new material and well-received live
performances, which is sure to grow as they begin a new chapter that will
further establish them as major contributors to the new Lisbon underground
electronic music scene. Do not miss out on Lisbon's newest label Circus
Maximus as Infestus, Rastronaut and Daino get ready to
take over crowds with their diverse, warm and surprising view of bass-heavy
club music.

THE INFAMOUS NET RELEASE BY INFESTUS GETS REISSUED
Sometimes you must look into the past to see the
future. Circus Maximus is now a digital label, and to announce this bold
new step for our collective, we chose to repackage and revisit an old classic. Clearly
“Tigre EP” by Infestus stood the test of time, since It
still sounds as fresh as when it was originally posted online in early 2010.
It’s a journey of very personal tracks written by Infestus during his late teen years, between 2006 and 2009, and marked the end of a creative
cycle in his production. All of the tracks are deeply influenced by UK Sound
System culture, but the sound pallette is diverse and cartoonish, as if each
track was hand-drawn in crayon, covering an almost bi-polar emotional espectrum:
Sweet and euphoric at times, cloudy and introspective at others.
Included in this reissue there are two previously
unreleased out-takes, “Alfa Pendular” and “Telheiras”. Emotionally and
chronologically the inclusion of these two tracks made perfect sense, and it
seems now that it would be a mistake not to include them in this revised
edition.
Once again it’s our
pleasure to present you the new and improved “Tigre EP” by Infestus!
