Rui Da Silva
Rui da Silva is a Portuguese producer and DJ, whose single "Touch Me" (featuring the vocals of Cassandra Fox) topped the UK Chart in 2001. At the time, he was the only Portuguese musician to have a UK hit and hence was the first to score a UK number one. Rui started producing house music in 1992, just as club culture was getting established in Lisbon. Noticing the lack of dance music labels in Portugal, Rui teamed up with DJ Vibe to form Kaos Records, the first label in Portugal specialized in house and electronic music.

Norberto Lobo
Norberto Lobo is a Lisbon-based musician and Mudar de bina is his first solo album. It’s a record centred almost exclusively on the sound of the acoustic guitar and therefore on the expressive abilities of Norberto Lobo as a guitarist.
In these days of ‘polished’ music production it became easy to forget the eminently physical character of a significant part of musical creation. Records like Mudar de bina contribute in some way to revert this tendency.
