Cue Violet at Pata Negra
Headfirst Editor's Pick

"I want to die an optimist" Violet declares on naive's Soundcloud. It's an ethos she swears by, serving transcendental, post-rave bliss from her label's Lisboan base. Fusing the joyous, playful tendencies of HNNY with the rhythmic complexity of LONE and Overmono, the Rádio Quântica founder's ecstatic leanings have made naive an ideal home for Eris Drew's motherbeat, Octo Octa's dreamy piano breaks and Ilana Bryne's pulsating, cosmic house cuts. Hosted by Kiia and LMR, Cue's promising Pata Negra party follows a string of well-informed bookings, including De School native Cinnaman and Desert Sound Colony. ? Tickets: hdfst.uk/E52021"

Cue... Violet

Lisbon based DJ & producer, label boss of new imprint naive, and co-founder of Rádio Quântica, curating shows and regular nights at Lux Frágil. Her productions have garnered support from some of the biggest names in dance music, most notably, the Togetherness EP, a release that set the tone for both her musical output and label.

Violet's DJ sets create sonic journeys that embrace acid house, jungle, the most creative strains of techno, mutant jack beats and her own melodic, percussive productions. A politically-charged vision of dance music is present in all her artistic gestures and has paved the way for the success of her own party, Mina. A techno queer feminist sex-positive affair. It is this alongside her dedication and undeniable talent that has lead to her regular appearances at clubs and festivals across Europe.
