̸BIOGRAPHY
A necessary agitator in the city of Lisbon's underground, Bruno Trigo Gonçalves, aka Phoebe, has delivered some of the most urgent and desirable sonic infusions around today.
Anyone who is, in fact, aware of what is being built on the clubbing circuit in Lisbon, away
from the media attention, will hardly have not come across Phoebe. Whether as the founder
of Troublemaker Records, at the helm of Rádio Quântica, as a programmer for the festivals
Ano 0 and Rama em Flor, resident DJ at the mina or one of the pillars of Planeta Manas.
In the midst of so much activity, it's almost a miracle that Phoebe manages, at the same
time, to create a highly idiosyncratic musical journey, in permanent sound mutation, not
letting himself be imprisoned by expectations of obeying a rigid stylistic scheme.
The EP that now arrives from the hands of Discos Extends (joining a luxury catalogue
composed of records by Diogo, Rabumazda, Luar Domatrix or V i L) has that urgency of
someone who is always running in search of something, a light that illuminates bodies in the
midst of the chaos of everyday life.
“Sempre a Correr” follows the EP that Phoebe released in the summer of 2021 on Rotten \
Fresh, entitled “if i was simple in the mind, everything would be fine”, an authentic exercise
in catharsis between the noisy sound walls of shoegaze and the rubble of ambient, without
ever losing sight of the dance floor and the rave appeal.
Since then, Phoebe hasn't stopped. At the end of 2021, he created the “Sweet Love Making”
label with BLEID, through which the split “Love is patient, love is kind, love will make you
lose your mind” (2021) came out, which included the songs “Marrazes” and “Causeway
Bay”, authentic punches in the stomach from percussive polyrhythm.
Throughout 2022 several themes were released that helped to map Phoebe's musical path,
without ever seeing this puzzle completed (and thankfully): “Club Tool; “Down to Whatever;”
“Estou Perdido”; and “K-LUBE 01/02”.
Bruno Gonçalves, or Phoebe, will always continue to run, there is no doubt about that. The
new album proves that unstoppable urgency that distinguishes him and his music
