Joal is a Portuguese DJ and producer, based in Berlin and with one of the most exciting live acts in recent years. Music cannibal, constant sonority accumulator, sometimes melancholic and crazy thinker, are just some of the variables that generate his individual. Not wanting to converge in a specific genre of sounds, instead, he wants to be the synthesis of a continuous and restless contamination and commingling of various elements and sonority absorbed over the years. Basic elements from House and Techno are without doubt his most common ground to explore, although, continuous experimentation, openness to change and versatility are key words to define his music. His dedication gave him the opportunity to release on some of the most well known labels in the world, like M_nus, Selador, Knee Deep in Sound, as well as having frequent exposure in the featuring sections and TOP charts of stores like Beatport.com. In 2010 he become the A&R of the label Monog Records www.monogrecords.com, whose Modus Operandi is to create a unique and familiar relationship with the Artists and their music. Thanks to the work it developed during its years of existence, Monog Records has been constantly supported, charted and licenssed by some of the most recognised artists, labels and magazines in the world, like M_nus and Mixmag (UK) to mention a few.
