From the perfect blend of producer Nídia’s signature energy and percussionist Valentina Magaletti’s inventive world came “Estradas” (2024), a universal celebration of rhythm released by London-based label Latency. The artists’ encounters along the “road” are a surprising sharing of urgency, inevitably drawing from their very different creative contexts—Nídia in the bustling world of Príncipe Discos and Magaletti in exploratory music, where she collaborates with Holy Tongue, Moin, and CZN. “Estradas” (2024) is made up of hypnotic syncopations, incandescent marimba lines, rhythmic twists, and a healthy inventiveness in the harmonic arrangements, in themes for the body and for memory.

Nídia
Nídia is a producer and DJ affiliated with Lisbon-based Príncipe Discos. From an early age, she has developed a sound in which kuduro and batida take on a life of their own, with a genuine influence from the Cape Verdean and Guinean roots that are part of her heritage. Since 2015, Nídia has not only been a unique voice in electronic music but has also won several European awards for her work (in 2018, a Swedish Grammi and Producer of the Year for Fever Ray’s album “Plunge”), her own productions, and collaborations with leading figures in electronic music.
Valentina
Valentina Magaletti is a drummer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist with an inventive approach to percussion. Her versatile technique, capable of incorporating everything from vibraphones and marimbas to contact microphones and found objects, results in a style that is difficult to define and constantly evolving. Magaletti doesn’t stand on ceremony: she is capable of playing behind a ceramic drum set or taking a more rhythmic, DIY approach—a creativity that has allowed her to build a diverse discography and many out-of-the-box collaborations.
SUPA
For over a decade, Supa has been enriching the Portuguese music scene. She isn’t part of Porto’s first generation of female DJs, but she is one of the founders of Grrrl Riot, the city’s first collective of its kind to make a name for itself in the DJ booths of clubs across the country. She is also a founding member of Thug Unicorn, a pioneering event in Portugal focused on social and political issues, which has traveled the country—from art festivals to the most underground clubs—leaving an indelible mark on the concept of national clubbing. With rare versatility, Supa has shared the booth with established DJs such as Helena Hauff, John Talabot, Simo Cell, ISAbella, and Sherelle, as well as with sound artists and performers of exploratory music like Steven Warwick, Invernomuto, and Ice Boy Violet, proving that the boundary between the classic and the avant-garde is a limbo where she feels right at home.
