SMOOTHIN GROOVIN #8
Once again we're feeling the transition between one of the hottest recorded summers and the notorious Berlin grey weather that will follow, or maybe we're just holding onto the last warm days as much as possible.
On the 23rd of September, for the 8th edition of Smoothin Groovin, 3 passionate Djs are about to embark on a journey perfectly fitted for the dancefloor, sparking curiosity amongst collectors, music lovers and everyday people wearing their dancing shoes.

PEDRO RICARDO
Known in Porto for taking risks with the records, Pedro relies on a strong, organic groove, bringing a sense of freedom and intensity to the dance floor through the warm rhythms of Jazz-Fusion, Disco and Funk hand in hand with a kind of House and Techno that never takes off from its soulful tradition.
Producing through different aliases, Pedro has been releasing music for the past eight years on labels like Extended Records, 1980Lyfers, Wolf Music and his own Hear, Sense and Feel and Pedro’s House. His music has been supported by the likes of Giles Peterson, Virgil Abloh, Lefto, Mafalda and Jeremy Underground, to name a few. His music has also been featured on music news outlets like i-D France, Stamp The Wax, Bolting Bits and Rimas & Batidas.
