Tendency


Tendency is an artist based in Porto, recognised as a cutting-edge DJ in Portugal and the founder of the cross-disciplinary platform and record label Perf. As a DJ, he raises and explores questions about the boundaries of performance and its significance as an artistic discourse. With a distinctive style and a singular selection, he dismantles genre barriers entirely. Pushing the limits of music without losing control, Tendency constantly experiments with new forms, rhythms, and concepts, opening up a broad spectrum of possibilities where the rhythmic drive of techno flows seamlessly into the syncopations, drops, and polyrhythms of as-yet-uncategorised sounds. A resident at Acida underground parties, he has also performed at Art Basel, Herrensauna in Berlin, Émergent Magazine Frieze London afterparty and Sonar in Lisbon. He frequently plays at key venues across Portugal, including Passos Manuel, Gare, and Outra Cena.
