Diana Oliveira returns with the ‘Outcome’ EP. Two compelling brand-new tracks, out now!

A constant fixture on the DJ circuit, especially at home in Portugal since the release of her debut EP last summer, Diana Oliveira’s return is both eagerly awaited and more than worth the wait. Diana’s debut EP ‘Goal’ presented itself, like herself, multiple-faceted, sophisticated, full of nuances and capable of making us think as well as compelling us to dance. In the two new tracks gathered there, the producer and DJ continues in that vein and with her vision still firmly fixed on the future.

Techno is only a strange place if we don't know how to get there. Diana Oliveira knows the paths well. And the shortcuts that experience teaches. Diana studied social communication, but the call from the DJ booth supplanted that of the secretary of any newsroom and Diana found herself writing her own future through more sinuous lines of electrically constructed grooves, with Detroit memory and future in space. She was part of the RDZ collective, spreading underground waves among lovers of electronic music culture.

The re-opening of clubs has seen Diana DJ at an unrelenting pace, with acclaimed recent sets at Portuguese festivals such as Elétrico and Braga Livre as well regular sets around Lisbon and Porto where she is becoming a fixture at the city’s Indústria Club.

On ‘Outcome’ and second EP track ‘The Lights’, Diana presents firstly a pulsating title track which backs up her early promise of creating moments made for the center of the dancefloor, a serious techno tune that can compels you move at every turn.

By contrast ‘The Lights’ is more introspective with reflective lyrics “Shut off the lights / I want to disappear / Pretend I dont exist / Just want to go to a happier place” taking us deep in to a track that allows space for atmospheric drifts, with an altogether lighter more meditative, almost hypnotic feel. A special track as is the ‘Outcome’ EP as a whole.

It’s an EP that guarantees Diana’s future is assured in the electronic music landscape as we watch an artist blossom as she has you eagerly anticipating her next move.
