Meet the DJs and artists featured in the program

Alma Negrot is a fusion of chaos, elegance, and sonic rebellion. The alter ego of Raphael Jacques blends drag art, performance, and music, reclaiming queer culture through hypnotic sets of house, disco, and techno. An icon of São Paulo’s nightlife and fashion scene, Alma has brought their provocative aesthetic to international dance floors. A resident of Mamba Negra and Sangra Muta, Alma Negrot uses music as an expression of transgression and freedom.

Gezender is a DJ active in São Paulo’s independent music scene, presenting sounds that incorporate elements of acid, progressive, and Latin music into house music, with strong old-school references ranging from softer sounds to rave music. He is the director of Sangra Muta, a queer party that has become a landmark in the national scene.

Henrique Pereira is a photographer, videomaker, and visual artist born in the outskirts of Florianópolis. His work challenges technique, lived experience, and language, creating images, objects, and installations that move between the sensory and the structural. He currently balances commercial production with a more focused artistic practice, where his works move away from external demands to assert an independent field of research.

Jup do Bairro is a singer and songwriter. Her work provokes and questions bodies and ways of existing through the interplay between fiction and friction across music, cinema, and visual arts. In Juízo Final (2025), her first studio album, the artist presents a party at the end of the world, where brilliance persists despite exhaustion.

Kontronatura moves through percussive, hypnotic, and fast-paced beats such as baile funk, kuduro, bubbling, dembow, tribal bass, techno, and trance. Their sound research weaves past and future by connecting Afro-diasporic rhythms with disruptive sounds from Latin America, challenging linear narratives and invoking trance states through rhythm. A resident of Mamba Negra, one of Brazil’s largest LGBTQ+ underground parties, Kontronatura understands their body as a voice for the transmasculine community in electronic music.

Renato Cohen, a São Paulo native, brings into his DJ sets and music productions a reflection of the city’s diversity. With a distinctive sonic identity, he moves between techno, house, and disco, blending different interpretations while combining years of experience with a constant search for innovation.

Roque Castro, a DJ with over two decades of career, has made electronic music a mission driven by passion and dedication, becoming a landmark in the history of São Paulo’s nightlife. Leading the parties Gang and Houseira, Roque places house music at the core of his musical research, while also embracing other branches of electronic music that translate the vibrant energy of the dance floor.
