Discotexas

[edit]

Discotexas (often abbreviated as DTX) is an electronic music label founded in Lisbon, Portugal. Established in 2007 by Moullinex and Xinobi also known as Luis Clara Gomes and Bruno Cardoso, respectively.[1]

The origins of Discotexas reflect a community ethos, emerging from the collaborative efforts of its founders. Initially conceived as a loose collective orchestrating parties within Lisbon's music landscape, DTX evolved into a platform for releasing their own music. During this evolution, the label embraced other artists, both admired professionals and personal connections, who resonated with their creative vision. The ethos of collaboration is central to Discotexas's approach, encouraging creative synergy among its artists and collaborators. Since its inception, DTX has been celebrated for its distinctive sound and diverse roster, drawing praise from critics and audiences alike.[1][2]

Discotexas' audience is dispersed across the globe. Their artists actively interact with audiences through curated playlists on music streaming services. This engagement has contributed to the label's growing recognition worldwide.[3]

Discotexas formed slowly and steadily, releasing three records during its initial era. A significant moment during this period was the Moullinex & Xinobi's Australia tour, which expanded the label's reach internationally.[4] DJ sets at Lux club in Lisbon contributed to their presence in the local music scene. Additionally, Discotexas hosted a showcase at the Sudoeste Festival, furthering its visibility within Portugal's music festival circuit.[5]

2010-2013: Forbidden Cuts

[edit]

This period was marked by a significant ascent for Discotexas, characterised by significant milestones and a prolific output. The label's debut release under the catalog number 'DT001' was Forbidden Cuts Vol. I, their first 12" vinyl featuring tracks from Moullinex, Xinobi, and Rockets, signalling a bold introduction for them.[6] Discotexas continued to expand its reach globally through collaborations with artists such as the Polish musician Iwona Skwarek from Rebeka (band) [pl], Kamp!, and the Australian duo Philosophy Of Sound revealed the label's commitment to explore new musical territories.[7][8][9][10]

Some noteworthy performances during this time included Discotexas Live appearance at the 5th anniversary of Lisbon's Musicbox venue, sharing the stage with Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs and Xinobi.[11] In 2012, The Discotexas Band, comprising Moullinex, Xinobi, and Da Chick, took the stage at Rock in Rio Lisbon and the Milhões de Festa festival.[12][13][14] The band's performances featured reactive visuals controlled live by MIDI messages, enhancing the immersive experience for concert-goers.[15] Further international ventures took the label founders to Argentina, Australia, China, Colombia, Mexico, Russia and Turkey, expanding Discotexas' global footprint.[16][17][18] Furthermore, Moullinex collaborated with renowned artists such as Peaches and took in performances at esteemed venues like Casa da Música, in Porto, further solidified Discotexas's presence in the global music scene.[16]

Notable among these were debut albums by key artists, including Xinobi, with 1975, Moullinex's Elsewhere, Da Chick's Chick to Chick, and Justin Faust's Spellbound. Xinobi initially garnered more attention outside of Portugal than domestically, but with 1975's popularity growing over time, it prompted interest from Universal for distribution in Portugal. Xinobi's versatile portfolio included already at the time remixes and edits of tracks by renowned artists such as Nicolas Jaar, John Grant, and Toro Y Moi, revealing his broad musical influences and collaborations with labels like Ministry of Sound and Nervous Records.[23]

In 2015, Kamp! released a video for their single Cairo, directed by Polish filmmaker Marcel Sawicki, further elevating the label's visual and musical aesthetic.[24]

Moullinex sophomore album Elsewhere marked a departure from conventional dance music, drawing inspiration from the live sound of guitars and psych-pop elements.[25] The album, influenced by artists like Ty Segall and LCD Soundsystem, presented a fusion of genres tailored for the dance floor. Notably, Moullinex had already gained recognition for remixes of tracks by Röyksopp, Devendra Banhart, and Legendary Tigerman.[26] During this period, Moullinex made significant contributions to both the music and documentary spheres. He not only released his album Elsewhere, but also participated in the Red Bull 20 Before 16 project initiated by the Red Bull Music Academy. This project showcased original tracks daily by musicians and producers worldwide, including Moullinex's exclusive contribution. This track joined those from other prominent artists like D'Angelo, Ezra Koenig, Vampire Weekend, and Earl Sweatshirt, providing a preview of the musical landscape for 2016.[27] In parallel, Portuguese filmmaker Tiago Ribeiro delved into Moullinex's creative journey with a documentary titled Elsewhere: A Dream Journal, produced in collaboration with Red Bull. This documentary provided insights into the creative process behind Moullinex's album Elsewhere and featured footage from his 2015 world tour. Through interviews and behind-the-scenes moments, the documentary shed light on the modern-day challenges faced by artists in the music industry, offering a compelling narrative for music enthusiasts and industry professionals alike.[28]

In addition to album releases, Discotexas established a sub-label called Forbidden Cuts, focusing on dancefloor-oriented tracks. The debut release on Forbidden Cuts was the Baiana EP by Portuguese producer Oma Nata, who was then based in Hamburg.[29]

These releases were crucial in defining the label's contemporary sound and artistic direction.

Discotexas had at this time expanded its influence with over seventy releases, on both physical (CD and vinyl) and digital formats, establishing itself as one of the most international Portuguese labels.[19] This growth was mirrored by the evolution of its artists, reinforcing a family-oriented approach, evident in the title of the first Discotexas Band song, Family Affair, included in the 10cotexas compilation.[32]

This album also featured Ian MacKaye speech on Skateboarding, the South African Lazarusman on the tracks Searching For and See Me and the Portuguese duo Vaarwell on Far Away Place. This album also had an expanded edition release and a single remix of Rampa released in late 2018 of Far Away Place.

This event featured performances by Moullinex (DJ set), DJ Vibe, Da Chick, Xinobi (DJ set), MEERA, and Oma Nata, highlighting the label's diverse roster.[44]

In 2019, Discotexas also embarked on developing its official brand identity with designer Rita Matos. This initiative aimed to establish a cohesive visual identity that dissociated the label from the conventional Disco category and rebranded it as DTX. The collaboration focused on creating a visual system that embodies the label's ethos of self-expression and emotional connectivity, enhancing its brand presence within the electronic music community.[45]

2020-2022: DTX Marks The Spot

[edit]

This era of the label saw a more consistent volume of releases while introducing new artists to the roster. The label started providing comprehensive support in areas such as composition, mixing, and communication, and giving their artists access to their new studio. This shift enhanced the quality of connections over quantity, fostering deeper, more meaningful collaborations. They also welcomed a new wave of artists, including GPU Panic, Diana Oliveira, Klin Klop and Madd Rod.[1]

The construction of a new DTX studio began in January 2020 but was paused due to the Covid-19 pandemic.[46] The project was soon resumed and the newly finished studio now represents DTX's headquarters and has become a creative hub for many of its artists.[1]

Discotexas started 2020 with a physical release of Xinobi's Far Away Place (Rampa Remix) followed by Oma Nata's Everything single.[22] The first album release of this era was Da Chick's sophomore effort, conversations with the beat.

With this release, Da Chick shifted her sound from disco and pop to a style more heavily influenced by hip hop and dub.[47][48][49] Diana Oliveira, a prominent presence on dance floors as a techno DJ since 2010, made her debut as a producer on June 4, 2020, through Discotexas. Her three-track EP, Goal, features her own vocals and showcases her methodical rhythms and hypnotic style.[50][51][52][53]

This track was notable for featuring his own lyrics, delivered in a whispering voice that became a signature element of his style.
