Bruno Trigo Gonçalves, aka Phoebe, is a producer, DJ, founder of the label/collective Troublemaker Records, and part of the core team of Rádio Quântica – itself a reflection of the programmatic nature of the new generation of artists in Lisbon. Simplicity does not live here, but rather an intense mixture does, not only of musical references, but also personal ones; this gives this music a truly intimate charge, even when the explosions hit us in an austere way.

With his third EP (if i was simple in the mind, everything would be fine (Rotten \ Fresh, 2021) – successor to Affection (Troublemaker Records, 2019) and Living On Valued Energy (Quântica, 2020) – Phoebe once again exposes an expanding artistic and musical mind, not limited to rigid stylistic boundaries that blunt the most creative impulses. This permanent stylistic and sound mutation is, therefore, not simple to map, but it is precisely from this frustration with the most basic that the most urgent music emerges.

  1. Ben bondy e exael – Aphelion Lash
  2. Arad Acid – Frontmxxd
  3. Kmru – well
  4. Space afrika – yyyyyy2222
  5. Ben bondy – eon
  6. Dj normal 4 – Aeo (otterasia mix)
  7. Tirzah – Crepuscular Rays
  8. Gabriel Ferrandini – Rua da Barroca
  9. Ulla – I think my tears have become good
  10. Kelman Duran – night In tijuana
  11. Miguel abras – andar à penda

A true music lover and creative through and through, Finnalicious (Warsaw, Poland and Dublin, Ireland) is a long-time member of our extended Pomegranate family. She has graciously shared a tender mix, making this the toughest description to write yet…

In 2020 we lost another member of our musical family, who was also one of the founders of our former Paragon Sound System crew, after a long battle with mental health. This mix was played during the memorial for Robin DubKong MacDonald, held on Cheung Chau Island in Hong Kong with virtual attendees around the globe. Robin was passionate, witty, and wise, while DubKong was a stalwart of the Hong Kong reggae scene and a knowledgeable selector of the highest order. Rest in peace dear friend, you are greatly missed.

POMcast #9 - FABSABS (Hong Kong)

#9 The POMcast series is ultimately about cultural exploration through sound. Our crewmate DJ FABSABS has truly taken that ethos to heart, while kindly contextualising his perspective:

This mix is an ode to halcyon days of Hong Kong, of the sounds around me as a young kid roaming the streets. Traditional Cantonese opera was blasted alongside Cantopop, J-Pop, and English radio music. People are nostalgic for the past, and preserving Hong Kong culture, as many experience the death of the city they knew, of their identity. Not surprisingly, there has been a rebirth of the underground music scene, a phoenix from the ashes.

Never has the noise, metal, rock, electronic, and experimental scene been so strong, as musicians, artists, and the public struggle to understand the world falling around them – responding with anger, creativity, and some wonderful music.

Taking a classic performance of the Cantonese opera 帝女花之香夭白 (Princess Chang ping: The fragrant death), about the fall of the Ming Dynasty and fated royal lovers, I blended this with a tapestry of sounds heard in factory buildings, country parks, and in the depths of the internet. It is essentially a jumble of history, memory, emotion, and an ode to the independent musicians in Hong Kong who keep going in the face of adversity.

Love and Pomegranate forever x
