For the holiday edition we invited an extraordinary duo to the Schirmchendrink counter: please fasten your seatbelt for Moullinex & Xinobi’s fantastic “Golden Hour” Cocktail.

You might have noticed that we venture an excursion into other genres from time to time, and we have saved a very special one with this last episode of 2019.

Hailing from Lisboa, Moullinex and Xinobi today are synonym for the driving underground electronic music scene in the capital city of Portugal.

Moullinex, was surrounded by music and musicians during childhood and since an early age has been solely dedicated to the pursuit of his own sound, refusing to adhere to a specific genre or scene, but taking comfort in disco and house as a starting point.

If there is a common trait between his productions, it’s the craft of melodies, a strong degree of human touch in machine- based music, unpretentious synthesizers, desperate guitars, striking basslines, and beats reminiscing from a not so distant dancefloor past. Luis often collaborates with Xinobi - in fact, most of the electric bass you’ll hear in his productions is responsibility his friend and co-founder of their imprtint Discotexas.

Moullinex established himself as one of the leading artists in the scene, with his own productions as well as remixes of acts like Røyksopp, Cut Copy and Two Door Cinema Club or a collaboration with Peaches. He has released three studio albums and most recently a wonderful jazzy house production named “AZUL”, together with Xinobi.

Xinobi’s album ‘On The Quiet’ was released in 2017 including the lead hit-single ‘Far Away Place’, which got an enormous revival last year due to the remix of Keinemusik’s Rampa.

Releases on Anjunadeep and MoBlack and remixes for artists such as Tensnake, The Avener, Nicolas Jaar, Riva Starr and many more prove Xinobi’s ability to re-arrange amazing music into a whole new universe.

It was in 2011 when Moullinex and Xinobi decided to join forces. Today both artists, either individually or as a duo, are among the biggest exports that Portugal’s electronic scene has to offer. If you want to get a feel of the live permormance, you should check out one of their dynamic Boiler Room sets!

Thanks for this energizing hour and Merry Christmas to all of you!
